“With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.”
– The Dalai Lama
If you’re going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you must have self-confidence and believe that you’re capable of transforming your goals into reality.
But cultivating this kind of unshakeable self-confidence can be challenging – especially if you’ve ever suffered from low self-esteem. It can be easy to listen to your own negative self-talk and believe that you don’t have what it takes to make your dreams come true.
That said, if you are able to visualize yourself achieving a goal, you have the capacity to do so. This is something I deeply believe. The universe will not give you a dream that you don’t have the capacity to fulfill! And the only obstacle making it difficult for you to overcome self-doubt and unlock your full capacity is your own mind!
That’s why today I’d like to share some tips on how to build self-confidence and grow unshakeable self-esteem that allows you to recognize you already have the inner resources and talents to create your desired results. Not only that – you can access those inner resources with the help of mindset tools such as visualization and affirmations.
But first, let’s take a moment to consider what self-confidence really is – and the profound impact it can have on your life.
What is Self-Confidence?
Self-confidence is a deep-seated belief that you have the knowledge, skills, and drive to create your desired results.
It’s the faith that you are ready for all of life’s experiences and have what it takes to achieve a successful outcome in any situation – even those that may deliver a different result than you had anticipated.
When you have high self-confidence, you’re more likely to take risks and embrace opportunities, which will inevitably lead to greater rewards. That’s why self-confidence is a trait that all highly successful people have in common.
Importance of Building Self-Confidence
Confident people know that if things don’t work out the first time, they can always try again – whereas people who suffer from low self-esteem and low self-confidence will give up at the first stumble because they see it as a sign that their dreams were never meant to be.
Self-confident people are unafraid to take a bold leap into the unknown. They don’t fear failure because they understand every obstacle and setback is a valuable learning opportunity.
Self-confidence is the absence of self-doubt. Confidence is what gives you the positive energy and drive to take action and achieve your personal and professional goals.
Here are just some of the ways in which self-confidence can impact your life.
Leads to Better Self-Esteem
Self-confidence and self-esteem are related but not the same.
Self-confidence is the trust in your abilities – the belief that you have the skills and know-how required to achieve your desired outcomes.
Self-esteem, on the other hand, is the belief that you deserve to achieve those outcomes – the idea that you are a good person who is worthy of happiness, love, and success.
A person can be confident in their skills and aptitude while believing that they are not worthy of happiness or love, and vice versa.
The good news is, that working on developing your self-confidence can be a powerful way to boost your self-esteem. That’s because building self-confidence involves taking small risks and successfully overcoming them, ideally in both your personal and professional life – which in turn builds self-efficacy and is a powerful antidote to negative self-talk and doubt.
