If there is one single thing that you really need to improve your self esteem, it will have to be confidence. Self confidence can do wonders for every part of your life. But for most of us, it's easier said than done. Changes in general are tough to make, and when it comes to habits and lifestyle it is even more difficult. First, let's take a look at what confidence actually can do for your life:
-If you have confidence, you can fully take responsibility for what you do.
-If you are self confident, other people will respect you more.
-Self Confidence and integrity go hand in hand.
-With increased confidence comes an increased pride in the good things you do.
-If you are self confident, you will be more motivated to do the things you want to do.
-People that are confident can take more chances.
-When you are confident, it is easier to handle criticism from other people.
-If you really love yourself, you will be truly able to love other people.
-If you have goals you want to achieve, increased confidence will help you to take on those challenges and stimulate yourself into reaching those goals.
-All in all, you are able to fully take control of your life, and reap all the benefits.
But what does the word really mean? Some people have mistakenly called this outlook on life egotistical or arrogant, and some even say that it leads to violent behavior. This is not the case at all. These are negative attributes, and confidence is the ability to see things in a positive light. Egotism, arrogance and violent behavior are the defensive reactions of people who lack confidence in themselves.
People who are not inwardly confident, tend to mess with others' lives. They want to boost their own love of themselves by putting down others, and that's not love at all. when you have a high self belief or self confidence you will seek the challenge and stimulation that's needed to set and achieve worthwhile and demanding goals
Many people have asked the question; 'Can you be too confident'? Are there any pitfalls out there that this kind of thinking can lead to? Confidence by itself is a pure and healthy attribute, and it means the ability to fully believe in oneself and nothing can be negative about that. So if you are truly confident and really love yourself, you will never put down other people or harbor negative feelings. Thus, confidence is always a good thing. I am sure you want to be happy and then you must keep your sense of yourself in a healthy balance and believe that you can do what you want to in life. You are the driver of your car (read: life) whether you like it or not.
