You’re expecting great success in whatever you’re doing. But, when it comes to confidence that’s something else again.
Today we look at a GenuLines yardstick to help you measure up.
Finding Success Helps You Build Confidence
We’ve all experienced a time in our lives when our self-esteem was on the skids. The common thread in these experiences is a lack of confidence.
Think about a job you didn’t like. I’m guessing it wasn’t about your lack of knowledge.
A more likely reason is that you didn’t have the confidence in your ability to do the given tasks.
A strong sense of self and self esteem is essential to overcoming adversity. Success in this area builds your self-confidence.
Success Strengthens Your Self-Love
When you reach a goal, you’re proud of your accomplishment. You know your story and you’ve experienced the challenges firsthand.
You’re better able to endure. And this strength fuels your confidence that you’ll do what you intended to do.
Success Makes You Self-Reliant
Let’s use the life versus lemons example. You take lemons and create, say, a profitable lemonade stand.
You understand that you have power and the capability to overcome most anything.
Success Means Taking Risks
Success forces you venture out of your comfort zone. You act on opportunities that you may have passed on before.
Walking into new ventures despite the fears and the unknown requires absolute confidence. You have no idea if you’ll sink or swim.
Yet, taking that first step into the ocean is a brave move.
Failure
Many people shy away from taking on new tasks because they’re afraid of failure. They believe they’re unable to overcome a challenge.
Get into the mindset that no challenge is too difficult to overcome. Over time, this mentality will lead to ultimate self-confidence and power.
The journey of finding success in itself requires confidence. Sure, it’s easy to take what’s given to you, but is that building your inner strength?
Successful people fight for what they have and go out and get what they want. Through your efforts, wins and accomplishments, you develop a heightened sense of awareness.
This will enable you to continue reaching ever higher levels of success.
