A lot of us lack true self confidence.
We think we're confident but the truth is that most of our confidence is dependent on other people; like a girl feels best with herself when her boyfriend tells her she looks lovely.
For some of us, it's only when we're praised for what we've done that we truly believe it's good.
Our self confidence is mostly dependent on other people's opinion. That's the reason it's not real self confidence. Self confidence is believing in yourself despite what others think; you don't need anyone to tell you you're good before you believe in yourself for what you can do.
It's true self confidence we need to make it succesfully in life. We would not be reading about people like Thomas Edison and Achimedes today if they did not believe in themselves. Because they all had their periods of terrible failure. But they believed in themselves.
The truth is there is no one who will be around you forever and the earlier you begin to believe in yourself the better for you and for the whole world. Who knows you may be another Einstein.
Besides, depending on people's assessment of us make us look like people who have able legs but are using crutches.
And we all know that we can never walk as well or go as far on crutches as we can
with our own legs and in fact we can't even go to some places where our legs could have taken us.
So we must be able to believe in ourselves to even be truly accepted anywhere we go. You can convince another person beyond doubt only about something you believe in yourself.
With self confidence nothing can really bring you down. It can shake you but it can never bring you down.
It's only those with genuine self confidence that are survivors, true survivors because they believe in themselves and know that they can do it.
If you have confidence in yourself you'll never quit and nothing will ever seem too big to be achieved.
Nobody can help you build true self confidence. You can only do it yourself and you can only do it by knowing yourself, accepting yourself and loving yourself. Loving everything about yourself even your faults .
We should all try to have confidence in ourselves, it's the only way we can truly succeed.
