“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.”
-Mark Victor Hansen
Self-confidence is an accessory that outshines everything. It not only enables you to feel good about yourself and your abilities but also bestows you with an optimistic and affable demeanour which keeps you striving towards your desired goals.
In a world driven by societal judgements, people lack or rather are compelled to keep their self-confidence veiled. It is noteworthy to mention that self-confidence is your armour and it needs to be donned in pursuance to live your dream life. Here are few ways which could help you polish your confidence and thus give you a high purpose:
- Step out of your comfort zone: Flowers are bloomed with the blend of sunlight, air and adequate water. And people are just like flowers, they cannot grow within the confines of four walls. They must step out, explore the unknown and expand their horizons. You do this by trying new things and adopting different ways of dealing with the situations. By trying things that excite, challenge and frighten you- you push yourself past your present boundaries of comfort. Being on the peripheries of your refuge pushes you to acclimate and develop traits that fosters your growth and that, is an enabling factor to your self-confidence and your holistic wellbeing, at large.
- Honour yourself: Having a sense of high regard towards oneself is absolutely the best of things you could do to yourself. Apart from being essential, it is also a much-desired ability which can make the journey of your dreams come alive effortlessly. Irrespective of how ambiguous it might seem, respecting yourself can get as easy as exercising regularly, eating healthy, sleeping adequately, devoting time to people who love and care about you, working on your passions and things that brings you nothing but sheer joy, happiness and peace.
- Be straight out: Lay your heart open, share how you think and feel. People who care and love about you will understand, come what may. Speaking open-heartedly will give wings to your confidence and will certainly surround you with people who wants only the good for you.
- Don’t give up: Keep marching. Keep moving forward. If you want to do something, then just do it. Don’t ever give up on your aspirations. Developing determination is one of the most important ways to own your self-confidence.
In the end, just remember to leave any situation (or person) that is not favorable to your growth and development. When you value yourself, you will not stay in an environment where your sense of wellbeing is compromised. So, stand up for yourself even if all the tides turn against you.
