Description
Having confidence can be the vital passport to success in your personal and professional life. Confidence enables you to take on new challenges, to trust yourself in difficult situations, to go beyond your perceived limits, to tackle things you have never done before and to make full use of your natural talent and capability. Confidence gives you the courage not to worry about the consequences of failure. The hallmark of all truly confident people is that they focus on what they can do, and about the positive outcomes they will achieve, rather than worrying about what they can't do, and what might go wrong. Without confidence, life's challenges can seem insurmountable. Confidence provides the vigour to tackle these challenges.
LOSS OF CONFIDENCE
Once confidence has been lost, doubt and uncertainty prevail. The unconfident person gets into a cycle of behaviour that becomes increasingly difficult to break. Fear of failure leads to indecision, which leads to further self-doubt. Lost confidence can cause you, for example, to:
โข avoid calling someone for a date, in case you are rejected
โข blame others when things go wrong, rather than learning from your mistakes
โข struggle to make clear-cut decisions in case you get them wrong
โข avoid applying for jobs you want, because of the fear of being interviewed.
The good news is that lost confidence is not lost for ever - it has simply been overlaid by self-doubt. Your natural confidence is there inside you at all times.
