In some situations we feel confident, very confident in fact and then there are other
situations where we don’t feel confident. So at various times we can say we are either in a
state of confidence or we are not. Everybody has the right to feel confident in any
situation they find themselves in, and anyone who doesn’t feel confident should
remember this fact. Nobody benefits by you having a lack of confidence. We all live in
the same world and we are all entitled to walk tall and feel confident in everything we do,
other people are moving through the world with confidence, you want to make sure you
are one of them.
So why then are there many times that confidence seems to elude us especially when we
seem to need it the most? It could be for a lot of reasons, lack of self belief, lack of skill
(which could be a good thing, after all would you get on a bus if the driver told you they
didn’t posses the necessary skills or confidence to drive the bus), fear of the unknown or
something else. Perhaps our lack of confidence is simply a sign to ourselves that we are
doing something for the first time. It’s like anything in life, the more you do something
the easier it gets. If you don’t feel confident doing something, just keep on doing it and
soon your mind will become accustomed to the act, which will cause you to develop a certain level of confidence.
Self belief is also important when related to confidence, it is helpful to believe you can do what you set out to do, and believe that you can handle any situation that comes up, however just believing is not enough you still need to take the appropriate action.
