If you want a definition of Self Confidence from Webster’s Dictionary or other primary sources – Google it… your question will be answered…

In my not so humble opinion, those definitions will be precise, accurate, and likely are far more measurable than any answer I will come up with.

Nevertheless, here are my thoughts regarding Self-Confidence…

A few thoughts on what is NOT Self Confidence…

It is being cocky, and rude…

It is not being obliviously obnoxious towards others in your life, taking advantage of and/or walking over anyone and everyone that is in your path.

If you have read any of my prior answers, I am REALLY big on the 3 Step Process of 1. Forgiveness of others and self; 2. Attitude of Gratitude; and 3. Hope, Dreams, Vision for the future. If these ideas are NEW to you, find an earlier answer for more information…

Self Confidence is the result of an awareness of…

1)WHO you are

2)What you value

Your Major Definite Purpose – what ignites a white-hot desire in your heart? See “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill for more information

Your dreams, vision and hope for the future.

With some idea of these notions, one can set out in the general direction of their dreams and be confident that they are living a sincere, authentic life. Remain focused on the living in the present, and enjoying the journey moment by moment.

To be backed it up, I would like to mention what one of my super close friend “Rashi Sharma”said to me , who literally help me growing as a person, and I am blessed to have her as my closest friend and take this opportunity to thank her for the motivation and support she provides. She said “You got to have your own stand & influence other through that in order to improve self confidence. And that hit me up, and the same advice I want to give my readers out here.

Not fixating on the “cursed hows” (see Mike Dooley), or allowing yourself to be “should” upon by others… but living your life…

Self confidence is a humble sense of being true to oneself, asking 2 questions when faced with any decision…

Is this moving me toward or away from my Major Definite Purpose?

If I had no fear, what would I do? (Too many dreams are dead on arrival due to fear and anxiety blocking us from taking ANY action towards making them come true. Life is risky… there are no guarantees… but overcoming our doubts and fears will move us significantly closer to our dreams than wallowing in fear, doubt and anxiety.
