We will ultimately achieve any task undertaken and persevered with. Self confidence will determine the magnitude of those tasks, and ultimately the magnitude of our life.

We cannot succeed at a task we do not attempt. Self confidence is our decision making tool used to determine what task we will or will not undertake.

As human being we have tremendous potential and adaptability. We are all capable of achieving far, far beyond what most consider possible. There is a genius in all of us. We simply must find that genius and release it.

We cannot know what we are capable of until we find ourselves in that situation and faced directly with that task. If we possess high self confidence in ourselves we will attempt more, and ultimately achieve more. If our self confidence is low, well, we just won’t bother. It is ironic that these better images are gained somewhat in experience. This does not mean the situation is hopeless, no, not at all. It just means we are going to have to be very clear about what we want, and very determined to get it.

This is not easy, or painless so be warned. If it was, all would have incredible self esteem and confidence. They don’t. So lets look at the rewards for our hard work and efforts.

Land your dream job or career, feel confident, competent and able in any area you choose. Find love and relationships, not really very easy with a low self image. Lift depression, make more money, speak up when you have something to say. No longer feel oppressed and with no say in life. Make decisions knowing you have the ability to follow through.

Yes, some work is going to be required, but I think you will agree, well worth it. Remember, you get out what you put in, plus a little interest, just like a bank. You just can’t put a little in and expect a lot back. It doesn’t work like that. No short cut here I’m afraid.

So do we start?

We start by developing a solid value and belief system, then we determine to live by that, regardless of the outcome. To have self confidence, we must know who we are and what we are, as well as what we stand for and we would never stand for. Once we have this our sense of worth becomes completely internal. We are freed forever from the need of approval of the masses. Our own approval is what we seek.

If we do not know who we are, then we are lost. Who, when lost, has ever been confident of anything? None, no, not possible. We have to take the time to learn who we are.

Next we have to recognise confidence is a muscle and is strengthened through exercise. We have to act outside of our comfort zone. Be realistic in this. If you are at 2/10 say, your goal is to get to 3/10 then 4/10. If you try to jump to 8/10 straight away you will not only fail, but you will be worse off than when you started. Baby steps here. Lots of little things equal big results. It’s going to take some time. Accept this, you have no choice. Don’t let a day go by though with scaring yourself at least once. Even a little fright will do! Speak to a stranger, do something, anything.

Learn to set an achieve goals. Very important. Once we start to do this we begin to see our true potential. We can actually do anything we choose. Goal setting lets us experience this. It is a very satisfying experience to know we will achieve any goal we set. Not only that, but we build our self confidence in the mean time through achieving those goals.
