Some people seem to be naturally confident, and it has been working for them; as they use it as tool to manage fears, do more of things that really matter in their everyday life. Reverse is the case with those having little or no self-confidence; as they tend to be completely and easily overwhelmed by any challenge life throws at them.
Life is exceedingly bad for the weak, but those with confidence are usually poised for success even though they fail at something that they thought they’d succeed at i.e. confidence works wonderfully in supplying courage to try something outside your direct experience.
Tony Robbins, the legendary self-help guru once said to develop confidence, we must be able to master our emotion because confidence itself is an emotion. According to him, three things which he tagged ‘The Triad’ are involved:
Language: What you are saying to yourself.
Physiology: How you hold your body.
Focus: What you are thinking about, because confidence comes from the inside. You just have to admit that you worth something.
From Tony’s postulation, we can logically conclude that real confidence can no longer be wholeheartedly considered as God-gifted; self-confidence you need is always with you. You alone can develop it, by proving to yourself that you are independent enough to face the world.
Below are some of the best practical lifestyle tips shared by other popular motivational speakers and writers to help develop real confidence:
