We see it in others.
More than hoping that others see it in us, we should see it in ourselves.
In the important categories of adult life, work, family, finance and beliefs, how would you grade yourself with 10 being the highest?
Your answer will speak to your confidence level.
Confidence does not come automatically.
It needs to be worked on and built, one brick at a time.
The masterful team at Psychology Today succinctly explains, “Confidence is a belief in oneself, the conviction that one has the ability to meet life’s challenges and to succeed.”
Well said.
Confidence is a state of being clear-headed either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective.
Confidence comes from a Latin word ‘fidere’ which means “to trust”; therefore, having self-confidence is having trust in one’s self.
Self-confidence involves a positive belief that in the future, one can generally accomplish what one wishes to do.
You can surpass any goal you set.
You can achieve whatever you want.
Access where you are at, right now. Do you want to stay there?
Let’s look at building confidence through book form.

Confidence Building Steps That Work Like Crazy!
There are some people who just seem born confident. They walk tall and self-assured. How about you? Are you fairly confident in your own life? If your confidence is low, luckily you do not have to think that confidence is something you were born with. Confidence includes the way you think, the way you talk to yourself, and way you imagine and expect success. These are totally within your power to change and there are a number of things you can do to boost your confidence. NFL legend Roger Stauback (Cowboys Quarterback 1969-1979) is quoted as saying, “Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a result of something…hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.” By using these six strategies you can get the confidence you need to reach your potential.
- Decide What Is Important to You
Gaining confidence involves deciding what is important to you in life. It means separating what is relevant for you from what is irrelevant, and deciding what you want to achieve in your life. Work out exactly what you want to accomplish and set goals for yourself. This will provide structure to your day and give clarity and purpose to what your life is about.
- Take Action
Once you have determined the general direction of your life, it is easier to make choices that bring you pleasure, satisfaction, and a sense of achievement. You can say no to the people and decisions that are irrelevant to your desired outcome. Every time you make a decision during the day, you can ask yourself this question, “Does this choice take me closer to, or further away from my goal.” If the answer is “closer to,” then you are making a decision to allow yourself to be successful. This decision allows you to feel more confident and successful. Confidence comes from deciding which specific actions you will take today, and following through on those actions.
- Let Yourself Succeed
Choose actions that are right for right now. That means finding actions that are small, doable, and related to your overall life-direction. Get into the habit of deciding what you will do today to move forward, and making sure you achieve that action. Little by little, start piling up the daily successes and feeling more confident!
- Recognize Your Efforts and Successes
Every time you allow yourself to take a step in the direction of what you want also take the time to celebrate and feel good. Otherwise, what’s the point of your goal? Confidence increases as you recognize you have the ability to get from where you are right now, to where you want to be. This means that you take the time every day to recognize your efforts and successes and feel good about your actions.
- Smile When You are Successful
Each time you do something that is symbolic of a small victory, SMILE! Do you ever notice that when someone smiles at you, you instantly feel better? The same holds true when you smile. With each success, add a smile. This action strengthens your emotions of well-being and increases confidence.
- Look Into the Nearest Mirror
Look into the nearest mirror and notice the person staring back at you is the only person responsible for your success. Talk to yourself! Tell yourself what a great job you are doing. Raise your confidence by learning to talk to yourself with an attitude of enthusiasm and positivity. If you are always beating yourself down with criticism and negativity, how do you expect to feel strong and confident? Confidence is not something that comes after you are successful or perfect. Confidence is how you treat yourself during the good times and especially the difficult times.
That’s six great ways for you to boost your confidence that you can use immediately. I urge you to try them all and watch as your confidence climbs higher than you ever dreamed it could!
