Creating Confidence

How to Talk to Yourself So You Excel in Any Situation (Creating Series)

By: Sam Wilson

Narrated by: Tim Steere

In this world, we meet all types of people. Extrovert and introvert. Charming and snobbish. Outspoken and quiet, and so on. No matter what their personality type, one set of people always manage to leave us in awe. They have a vibe about them, proclaiming them as the go-getters. They are the self-assured ones.

What is it about these types of people that they impress mostly everyone they meet? It is their belief in themselves. It is their trust in their skills and abilities. It is their self-confidence. When we see successful people around us, we often don’t think about the hardships they had to overcome. But think about it - how many world leaders were born into privilege?

In fact, most of the success stories around the world are about people who went from rags to riches. They are tales of people who thrived despite the circumstances. They started small, from the ground level, and they went on to reach the sky. They were not born with silver spoons in their mouths, but with the thorns of hardships and tough living.

It might seem like a fairy tale or the script of a movie, but the fact is that this world is run by self-confident people. It is led by people who believe in themselves and their worth.

Have you ever met a person who was very sure of themselves? Have you ever been with a person who seemed perfectly capable of taking on the world? This is the self-confidence we are talking about, and it helps a person to trust themselves and believe in their capabilities despite their circumstances.

It is their belief in their skills, abilities, and values that lead them to follow their aspirations and conquer the world. The way they carry themselves, the way they talk, and the way they work are all a part of being confident in themselves. They are not afraid to tackle anything and everything to reach their goals.

Often, we hear advice like “dream big” or “reach for the moon”. But how many of us ever do that? We limit our aspirations and dreams by believing that we are not good enough. We feel that we have nothing to offer to the world. Believing such things about yourself lowers your self-esteem and confidence.
