It is the trust in your own competency to undertake a task and complete it successfully. It is the belief in your own decision making skills; problem solving effectiveness; your own thought process and opinions. If you can defeat the ‘TERROR of FAILURE’ then, self-confidence can lead the path to success which even you can’t envision.
People with high self-confidence take decisions based on their own knowledge, skills & experience even in the times of adversity. Such people are never in the background of any event; they mark their presence everywhere. They are always ready to take risks and try new things if it attracts them. But, be alert, don’t let confidence dance over your mind & sprite. Arrogance or we may call them over-confidant; it leads them to a self destructive behaviour.
👍First and the only way to gain self-confidence is push yourself one step ahead and encounter the fear... FACE IT... Do whatever you like or want to do; the confidence within yourself will start growing. You may fail for the first, second, third time… but you may learn reasons behind your failure, improve upon your weaknesses. & try again.
👍And; most crucial one, don’t forget to strengthen your STRENGTHS. And then; try again until you succeed..!
👍Block the fear producers which can be both internal and external. Surround yourself with genuine and positive people.
👍Cherry-pick a correct role-model and follow their ways-and-means but with your eyes and mind kept open as NO two individuals/situations are identical in this world.
👍Use relaxation techniques to avoid/ minimise anxiety; let all the butterflies in your stomach fly in the same direction.
👍Seek encouragement from past success or success of people with traits like you or even from small achievements to boost your confidence.
👎Whereas; people with low self-confidence are not able to stand-up and speak for their self, even when they are correct. Sometimes the reason may be that they just don’t want any conflict with folks. They are hesitant to take decisions, challenges and try new things; it is just because they have lack of belief in their own capabilities.
Fear-factor plays the most vital role in level of self-confidence. So, first remove the fear of failure, loneliness and so on… child never stops trying; they fall and get up and try until they learns how to walk without any support... may a times kids refuse to take help even if parents offer it to them. This is just because they don’t know what failure is.But, as we grow younger and then older, we start comparing and others starts making us realise that we have failed. Fear hijacks the mind and soul. And; you start telling yourself “don’t do this, you will fail, what others will say, you are not capable enough & so on and on…”
Don’t worry, if you don’t succeed, it may be beyond your mental or physical capabilities. You can always start something new or different. The world has seen many business tycoons who have failed in launching a product, but they don’t stop, they try another thing. If you can defeat ‘terror of failure’ by your craving for victory, no one can let you down.
