The Gift of Confidence

What is confidence and why is it so necessary?

I have often asked this question not only during my teenage years but continue to do so even today.

Confidence is one very important quality that all of us must possess if we are to become successful in reaching our goals and becoming the best version of ourselves.

However, not everyone can say they are confident in their lives. In my opinion, confidence is not something you are born with. It is a learned behavior that gets reinforced each time we accomplish what our minds and heart desire.

Think of it as layers of an onion peel. Each time we succeed we feel a sense of boost to our self-esteem, and we feel proud. We feel not only a sense of accomplishment but also worthiness. We say to ourselves “Hey, I did this!”. With each success, we keep pushing ourselves to achieve bigger and better goals until we have pushed the very limits of what we thought we were capable of. At last, we have learned how to become Confident.

One important thing that I have always reminded myself of is that nothing in life comes without trials and errors.

We must fail on more than one occasion to learn from our mistakes and to keep trying different approaches until we have found the right formula for success which then solidifies feelings of confidence within us.

Here are 3 Simple Ways to find the Gift of Confidence:

1️⃣ Ask yourself, “What is one small step I can take today towards what my mind and heart desire?”. Then act.

2️⃣ Remind yourself, “If I fail, it is not the end of the world. I can always take another approach until I reach my goal.”

3️⃣ Keep taking consistent actions as they will raise your level of commitment towards reaching your goals and making you more confident in the process.
