Favorite Self Confidence Quote
Excellence has a structure, if one person can do it, it is possible for another to learn and do it too.
Definition of Self Confidence
Confidence most of the time did not come from the ‘self’, it came more from external factors or from other people who have showed confidence in us, people who believed in us, or going through positive experiences.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Y.Y.’s childhood was not an easy one. She experienced many challenges as a child, and it did not help that she lived in a volatile family environment. She had social phobia as she would shun and hide from all strangers, highly anxious and had problems going to school.
The “AHA” Moment
Her teacher told her that Y.Y. was a leader and because of that she started to excel in school and started building her confidence up. Also believing in God and hanging with the right people helped her with that as well.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Y.Y. would practice till she was good at it. So she just kept on improving on what she can do, however there is no end to what she can do, so it can be a feeling of never enough.
Also she has a personal belief that nothing is impossible if God says nothing is impossible with Him. When things do not go according to what we want or planned, every so-call failure is only a feedback, we just keep on moving on and encouraging ourselves to continue to do our best we can.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Put no confidence in the self, and your confidence will not depend on yourself. Be outward looking instead of inward looking. See how you are here for a greater purpose, and live a life that is going to make positive impact to other lives. Anchor it in beliefs and values that are greater than yourself.
