There are many definitions of the word confidence. Here are a few definitions that I carefully selected for you.
Are you not tired of everyone pulling your strings every time? It’s time to get up and kick ass.
Confidence enables you to face and handle any situation with ease, minus the feeling of fear, worry, and doubt. Building confidence will give you a life full of endless possibilities that will drive you through various life challenging situations and bring you limitless success. Is this not the type of life you want? Having confidence is having the power and potential to succeed, living the life of your dreams.
Having an attitude that holds a positive realistic view of self gives you a peace of mind which enables you to face and handle any situation without difficulty – the power of a peaceful mind. It doesn’t matter how others may see the situation, because you have a positive self-image, a rock solid, and unshakeable confidence, you will be in the rightful position to tackle any situation is without panicking.
I call this the power of a positive self-mage.
Real and true confidence:
Gaining confidence gives you a strong and positive mental attitude, the feeling that all is well, regardless of not knowing the answers, solutions, and the ‘How to …’ of the problem that you are facing.
If you have wasted precious time in your life because of the worry actor, fear, and doubt, doing something away from your dreams, it’s time to revisit your past and reclaim you passions
Why building a positive self-image?
Skill, knowledge, expertise, and experience is important but will not mean much or be of much value in meeting most life successes without the desired confidence. You may have the skill and knowledge but when you go to an interview, when you are meeting with someone who matters, when you need to be a leader, confidence is this one factor that they are looking for.
Do you need to build stronger and happy relationships that last, build and grow successful businesses, live a happy and flourishing life full of spasms of joy?
Building a 4 any level type of confidence is the key. This type of confidence allows you to meet anyone, anywhere, anytime, and do absolutely anything.
Start building your confidence, start building a positive self-image today, boost your confidence, and attain super rock-solid confidence. A way to living your dreams.
Building self-confidence will give all the resources you need and build you the impact you desire to getting you promoted at work or to getting an appraisal.
Self-confidence will enable you to welly answer the question ‘am I worth the job or am I worth ...,’ it assesses your own sense of self-worth.
When you look at yourself, what is it that you really see in you, what is this thing that drives your heart, what is it you really want and need? The real question is, what is holding you back to doing it, what is holding you back to achieving your dreams, what is it that is making you not to follow your dreams? The lack of confidence to meeting your goal setting is the answer to all these questions. Now, do you realise how important it is to build this 4 any level type of confidence?
Self-confidence allows you and gives you the heart to follow your dreams, to take necessary risks, to face the challenge, to feel the fear and do it any way, all because you believe and have faith in yourself that you are capable. Confidence instils the courage that even if things don’t go well and turn unexpected turns they can always be put back in track.
Confidence brings about self-acceptance and self-appreciation, the understanding of who you really are, enabling you to feel great about yourself, helping you to make better life choices, and decisions that really matter. Building a 4 any level type of self-confidence is the foundation of all.
Like a child, everyone is born confident, but it diminishes with time due to a variety of life changing induced factors and influences that include bad parenting, friends, our surroundings and schooling. There is need to rebuild that confidence because it will bring you to your happiness through following and attaining your dreams. Without confidence we cannot enjoy life. Confidence holds the power to change anything. A lot of people with great, big dreams did not manage to fulfil them because they were not confident enough to stand the gap. If you are very confident, you are filled with passion, conviction and the strength you need to pursue you dreams because you know who you are, you understand your core values, you know that you are purposed to live your life and not exist, you know how to nature your unique talents and gifts.
How does it feel like to want something, long for something, yet not having the zeal to go for it? Do you want this kind of life, a life full of blame? It’s time to kick ass and build the confidence that you desire, succeed in your career, and be visible to the whole world.
With confidence you fast adapt to changing environments and situations without the feeling of discomfort. No matter how negatives may build up in your way, your confidence will keep you strong, positive and always above your weaknesses.
If you are confident, you will feel secure, in your relationships, at work, and in anything that you do. With self-confidence you better overcome trials, insecurities, difficulty without feeling depressed. You will handle any matter and any situation with ease and with a peace of mind.
Confident people are easily attracted to each other. Most confident and positive minded people are successful people. This will enhance your career prospects bringing you closer to meeting the best opportunities and more chances of achieving your goals.
People love to follow those who are confident, believing in them, placing their trust in them, therefore building self-confidence will make you a role model for many.
Because confident people are full of understanding and are fully aware of who they really are, this makes them stable, balanced, and not to get easily affected by the social and or economic status. They always feel adequate, stress free and have nothing to worry about.
It is easy for confident people to weigh rough situations and take risks. They are high risk takers. This allows them to prosper and be successful in what they do. No matter how people may criticise them, it doesn’t affect them, they know how to handle criticism, it does not lower their spirits otherwise they find criticism to be a dream booster because it enables them to identify areas in need of improvement.
Confident people are characterised by high level access – the ability to network properly, win friends, influence people and have high chances of meeting people who matter.
Confident people are successful people because they have boundaries, and rules that direct and govern their day to day goings, doings and involvements.
Dangers of low confidence levels
A strong lack of self-confidence poses a negative effect on your social relations, networking, career, moods, achievements, and life as a whole. People with low self-confidence are easily depressed with life situations that surround them due to inability to cope with meeting life challenges and the inability to adapt to changing environments.
Those who lack confidence are less likely to develop healthy flourishing successful lives because they lack the stamina to stand and face whatever lies ahead of them.
Without confidence you will feel isolated, alone, hated, and unlovable because you have a hard time building relationships and maintaining friendships. When you lack confidence you cannot put trust in yourself, you doubt your abilities, you have a hard time handling situations and this builds anxiety. People love to criticise, and if you are less confident you will feel bad when they begin to criticise you. Less confident people do not know how to deal with criticism.
Less confident people are jealous, they envy others too much. This is because less confident people love to compare themselves to other people. This builds jealousy in their hearts. If you don’t have confidence in yourself, you lack self-love and without the love of self how will you be in a position to love others and cope around them?
Less confident people are low risk takers, they are afraid of taking risks, they feel like nothing is meant to work for them, they feel like they are losers and highly incapable. This negative attitude deprives potential making them remain where they are, without substantial growth and expansion. They cannot move out of their comfort zone, they have a feeling that something will always go wrong along the way. Therefore, in most cases, they end up getting controlled by others because they can’t stand on their own, they always have to be pulled along.
They lack the zeal, the driving force to execute their minds towards meeting their goal setting and pursuing their desires. They are controlled and therefore they tend to follow their emotions and feelings. No matter how much you may want to achieve something in life, it will be never easy without confidence. Less confident people live lives that are unhappy, unhealthy, and full of hatred, with stress and boredom.
Without the desired level of confidence it is hard to face life challenging problems and situations. You will end up wasting a lot of money through hiring someone who will do the job for you, something that you could have done yourself. You don’t have the freedom that allows you to stretch outside your comfort zone. You will be stuck at one point or another. Less confident people are concerned with what others are doing, they cannot concentrate on their own piece of work, and they are not capable of minding their own business.
Negativity floods the minds of those who lack self-confidence. They have a negative mental attitude, they are full of self-doubt, are afraid of failure because they expect the negative to always befall them. There are a lot of highly educated people yet they are not where the wanted to be, they lost the job interview and had their job taken away by someone who is less educated than them because they could not be confident enough to adequately express themselves. Less confident people lack the freedom of self-expression, they do not know or understand who they are.
Less confident people cannot stand the face of the crowd, they have the fear of public speaking, and in the back of their minds they think someone is always watching their step. They cannot meet with new people, they have a hard time bonding with new relationships, and they cannot be leaders.
Less confident people are less likely to be in a position to say NO to others, they cannot decide for themselves as to what they really want, and they are easily influenced therefore, they do not always get what they want or desire out of life.
And because they allow limitations and weaknesses to override their desires, they often panic and worry that things will take wrong turns. This holds them from pursuing their dreams.
The ability to purpose your life, add value to it and redefine your destiny is all embedded in the level of your self-confidence. People who have confidence in themselves present with the following 15 quality pieces that make and represent the circle around confidence:

The universal law of attraction: demonstrates how we create the things, events, and people that come into our lives.
