Self Confidence is your Key to Success.

Building self confidence is basic to your level of success.

Building self-confidence is crucial to your experience in virtually every aspect of your life. Few and far between are the individuals who possess this character trait in abundance. Those who have ample amounts of self confidence usually experience success in life. The sad fact is that people who lack self-confidence may find it hard to be successful.

The reason for this is clear - who wants to support someone or be involved with anyone who is undertaking any sort of project when they are insecure, nervous, apologetic, and don't show a high level of certainty that they will accomplish what they set out to do? Would you really tie your fortunes to someone who really isn't sure whether they can pull it off?

The other side of the coin is equally true. How easy is it to team up with someone who speaks clearly, who's body language yells 'success', who can field questions comfortably and adeptly. Self confident people are successful largely because they inspire confidence in people who can help them attain their goals.

The good news - no, the great news is that building self confidence is well within the realm of possibility.

What is your level of Self Confidence?

Do you consider yourself to be confident? If you do, you probably are. If you don't you probably are not. There are some hallmark traits of the confident person:

  • You do what you think is right regardless of the opinions of others.
  • You take reasonable risks and go the extra distance to achieve your goals.
  • You accept compliments and praise comfortably and naturally.
  • You dress for success.
  • Your posture is always strong.
  • You tend to walk with intention and purpose.
  • You express gratitude.
  • You have no problem complimenting others.
  • You don't mind being the center of attention.
  • You keep fit.
  • You focus on what you can contribute.
    •

     

    No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence....

    - Ansel Adams

    In the same vein, there are characteristics that reflect a lack of healthy self-confidence:

  • Your actions are heavily influenced by the opinions or criticisms of others.
  • You are always in your comfort zone.
  • You lie and deceive to cover up mistakes or try to keep them hidden.
  • You boast about what little you achieve.
  • You either dismiss or feel uncomfortable with genuine compliments.
  • You are careless with your appearance.
  • You never keep fit or take care of your health
  • You are ungrateful.
  • Your walk is shuffling and awkward
  • You never compliment others
  • You feel anxious and distraught when you are the focus of attention
  • You feel your contributions are worthless
    •

    So how do you measure up? Do you see some or all these traits in yourself? It doesn't take much imagination to see that a lack of self-confidence can be destructive to a success oriented life-style or that it often expresses itself as negativity. Building self confidence means becoming more optimistic and positive. It means that you will learn to believe in yourself and your abilities. It also means living life to its fullest.

    If you build it, they will come.

    Self confidence can be a bad thing. What!!!??? A bad thing? How is that? Self confidence that goes too far in a positive direction becomes overconfidence. Most criminals fall into this category. What is required is a healthy, rational, sense of self. Along with overconfidence comes a sense of entitlement that leads people to do some awful things. What we are promoting here is a balanced, healthy sense of confidence. Building self confidence means developing this trait in line with your strengths, abilities and will power. Building self confidence means taking reasonable risks that stretch you and push the limits of your skills and abilities.
