Confidence Counts

Confidence is key, but not bravado or over compensation. The difference is that true self-improving confidence is a matter of have faith that the faults about us are part of who we are but not who we are. The fact is that this faith has the power to make these self-proclaimed faults endearing to others if we continue to be happy and confident with ourselves. Confidence is achieved by balancing a happy medium between hiding our fears or faults and wallowing in our fears and faults.

The fist step to achieving this happy medium….is No Fear.

Fear keeps us from experiencing our dreams, keeps us from pursuing love, and keeps us from being who we are on the purest level. There is simply no need for fear! Discretion….yes. There is a need for thoughtful awareness, but discretion is smart and fear is just plain stupid!

Granted, the impulse of fear will happen, but it is possible and it is time to take control of your fear. Fear is more specifically the fear of the unknown or unfamiliar, which once you know about or are familiar with whatever it is, it is never as scary.  Do yourself a favor and branch-out! Eat different things! See different movies! Go different places! If you do this all with an open mind and No Fear…you’ll actually get to know what you really like and don’t like, instead of simply settling for what you’re used to. Settling Sucks…don’t start!

Next is having and conveying faith in yourself. If you know what you’re talking about but phrase it in a limp unsure way, people will assume that there is a strong possibility that you are wrong or unsure. The opposite is also true. You have control over how much faith people put in you by letting them feel your faith in yourself. If you are overcompensating though, people can smell that on you like a dead fish. So believe in yourself, but don’t sabotage it by being retroactively humble or hyperactively cocky.

Here are some easy things you can start doing right now to get you moving in that direction:
