Few individuals truly succeed in life. The majority of people are reserved and timid - they are not able to have many friends. Young men are not able to get dates easily and young ladies fail to impress, all because they lackself-confidence. Are you able to tolerate a public speaker whose speaking style does not have conviction? Timid speakers are not able to entertain their audiences. They can't be compelling. In short, their speeches don't have the necessary pep and spirit to be exciting and end up falling flat.
A lack of self-assurance is what keeps most from being confident, successful and ultimately happy in life. However, if you can know that you lack the self-confidence you want, you can work on building it up and making your desires for success a reality.
Defining Confidence
If you are able to pick out the characteristics of a person brimming with confidence, this will help you succeed in building up your confidence. How do you recognize that a person is self-confident? It's easy, really. If you are balanced and self-assured, you are assertive, your body language expresses your confidence, you hold your head high, you speak with self-confidence but not being pushy, your attitude is positive, you pursue your goals with determination - well-prepared to overcome any obstacles because you don't avoid taking calculated risks whenever required. And whenever you make mistakes, you readily acknowledge them. Your plans are determined with reason, keeping in mind a reasonable appraisal of your strengths, your weaknesses and your skills and talents.
Establishing Confidence
While trying to build self-confidence, you may have a few questions to ask yourself. Is it possible to establish self-confidence? If by nature you are not initially brimming with self-confidence, you may believe you remain that way forever. Not inevitably. You can actually take small but attainable steps in order to build good confidence. However, self-assurance and success are interdependent. Usually, you can't achieve your goals without self-assurance playing a role inbeing part ofyour efforts and without success you cannot have self-assurance.
That being the situation, how do you establish self-confidence? That is a good question. Begin by setting yourself a small enough goal that you can achieve it without too much difficulty. Then accomplish it and watch your self-assurance grow. Repeat the steps, every time making the goal a little harder than the lat time and gradually build your confidence step by step.
