HOW TO BE CONFIDENT?

To develop self-confidence, we should set ourselves and ask how we would reach our goal if we fear being unique and unstoppable.

One aspect of the hindrance to our growth is the lack of determination to take our first step. We are hesitant to do things and low in motivating ourselves. We give priorities on things less significant to create a better-us. It is excusable not to be extremely dedicated to things as we multitask ourselves on many things. But it is customary to engage in many activities. We are just passive as no one is pressuring us to do so. The adversities we encounter somehow give us the courage to fear-not on trying our capabilities. We are built-in on these traits. We are born creative. As children, we revel in imaginary play, and we asked silly questions to answer our curiosity. Creativity is in us, and only it is not just being explored and tried. Don't fear to take your first step. 

Be courageous. It doesn't require us to be good but only be gutsy. Many succeed in life, even if they are not reasonable and smart but have the guts to socialize and interact effectively. One does not need to be good-looking to take these steps, nor not too old or too young, or even well-educated but must be "well-mannered." Do not fear the messy unknown, fear of being judged, and keep on thinking we can't, and then, we really can't. We need to overcome even our most deep-seated fear. Take a risk and step your first.

It is also important not to stay behind our comfortable desk as managers or business owners. Go out and meet people. Every single person you meet is an opportunity. Traveling is expensive if you look at it that way. But, it broadens our minds to acquire more incredible ideas. You can copy some of the brilliant ideas and see how they work in your field. 

We need not be an expert first before we venture into business. From our innocence that we will know more. It is from our failure that we strive to survive. In short, start, and we will learn the lessons along the way.

I have met many successful people. Confidence is always one of the factors that they succeed in life. Rising after failures and be confident to apply the lessons you have learned from them. It is good to challenge ourselves always. In my case, I always say, "If others can do, why can't I" well, that is my motto in life since high school. But it is still damn easy to say than doing it. But when you equipped yourself with nothing but the desire to rise from the problematic situation in life and prove to yourself and others you can, you will try even how difficult it would be. No one will criticize. Maybe they will appreciate your drive. Start, go, explore as you need to live, you need to learn, you need to know more in-depth what life means, you need to be a part to build up nations and their economy after this pandemic crisis, and maybe one day you need to share your own success- story.
