“Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.”
– Walt Disney
Confidence is synonymous to achieving great heights. It is not something that can be inherited, it’s a state of mind. Confidence holds different meaning for different people; however, its basic nature lies in having faith in oneself. It means believing in yourself and your credo. It’s all about recognizing your worth and standing for yourself. There are infinite successful people who credit their success to their sense of self confidence. Confidence is often built on the foundation of choices and it is significant in contributing positively to an individual’s life. One can cross any hurdle, difficulty or darkness by donning the hat of confidence.
The more confident you are, the more profound impact you’ll have on the new and wide opportunities. Some tit-bits that could help you in honing your confidence levels are-
• Believe in yourself: Do more of whatever makes you happy. How do you love spending your free time, after getting all drained up prepping up for your entrance exams? Is it by reading Shakespeare? Or do you like taking a nap on your couch and watching a cricket match? Whatever it is that you love, create time and do it, because there’s only one life and it’s pretty short. Therefore, as much as it’s important for you to study, it’s also equally important for you to do what you love as it will not only rejuvenate you but will make you, your best self.
• Give yourself the first priority: Don’t care about what others think. You’ll come across thousands of people who will disregard you and shun your dreams. When every time someone tells you that you don’t have what it takes, you close your ears and walk away with your heads up high. Because, as long as you believe in yourself and your goals, it doesn’t matter what people think or say. Just keep moving. Stand up for yourself. People will always belittle you but you have got to take pride in what you own. Don’t give anybody the power to control you or your goals. If you believe in something then stand up for it, even if the whole world is against you. You are the armor of your dreams, protect it until it’s achieved.
• Always focus on long-term goals: Think for a long-term. Human brain is wired in a way where we are bound to expect results within numbered days, however, good things take time. It’s essential to know that you should focus on your work, without worrying about the results. You can’t lose weight by just quitting your favorite fries for one day. You need to be consistent for a long period of time. Similarly, you should think about your long-terms goals while preparing for your exams. No matter, how much tiring and tedious things get in the moment, just remember, you’ll be paid bountiful after a long hauling.
• Be best and give your best: Do the right things. Have principles in life, the ones which are defined by you and try to adhere to them with utmost certainty. Most confident people live by principles, which may not be in their interest but in the interest of greater good. Your actions describe you and your character. Work on the best version of yourself. Follow your dreams even if all odds are against you. Be good, kind and true to people around you.
• Courage is your strength: Be Brave. Don’t be afraid of failures. If you have big dreams, you’re accustomed to feel overwhelmed, and the feeling of not being able to do it will creep in every now and then. It’s in the moment like these that you’ve to gather your courage, build yourself up, look inside the warrior in you and keep going. Every successful person has been afraid, and that’s what has helped them achieve the pinnacle of triumph. Just think about how much desperate you are to achieve your goals, put all your fears at bay and keep climbing, taking small steps at a time.
Each day brings with it numerous opportunities and it’s totally on how you perceive it. While being confident all the time is not easy as it sounds but what matters is your attempt in trying to be so. It has been aptly said, “Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So, what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
