Wow!
Another Monday and the first one of March already!
Where has the time gone?
I've posted some very intimate thoughts that I've been through in the last few months, never mind just weeks so I'm not going to repeat a lot of them.
Today, I'm going to have a look at self-confidence and what it means for me in this new season of my life because it seems that there is a general lack of self-confidence going around and I want to know why...
An Existential Crisis?
First, as always, to define self-confidence: -
A feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgement.
Awesome, I like that!
"A feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities and judgement"; such an appropriate way to put it.
Why appropriate?
Consider for a moment what it means to have trust in your abilities, qualities & judgement...
Go on, seriously...
Have you considered it?
Good.
It means trusting in yourself enough to know that when the time comes, you'll do, or say, what you know to be right in that moment.
Yeah, but is that really so profound, is what I want to know?
It is profound when you start to consider that the moment you can speak/act, you will end up saying exactly what you want to do/say and not come away thinking of regrets because you got it wrong.
What I Didn't Do Was Worry That it Would Never Change!
Recently, I've started my very own personal development plan because, in light of my crush and other such stuff that's gone on over the past few months, I have started to realise that there are definitely areas of my life where I can begin to improve on myself.
1. Self-Belief
Did you know that there is no point hearing other people say they believe in you if you do not believe in yourself?
It's true, go on, consider that for a moment too...
Considered it?
Good!
I once told a friend that it didn't matter how many times people said certain things to me, if I didn't actually take them in and believe in them myself as true about me, they were akin to wasting their time.
Strong words, I know, but it's true because the moment you start to take onboard the positive feedback that people are giving to you, that is the moment your mind can begin to be changed to think that something else about you is true.
If you are forever calling yourself a failure, what will it do?
Reinforce within you that you called yourself a failure, so it must be true!
Final Thought
This is the first in a three-part post that I'm making, looking at what I'm getting from the value of having the right level of self-confidence about yourself.
I hope you will stick around on Wednesday because I will return to it then!
Watch the skies!
