Confidence Doesn’t Have Discouragement in it

When there’s confidence no amount of words or expressions can turn us around. We should build confidence so that we’re able to be productive. So many lack the confidence to do outstanding things because they either listen to their inner voice or listening to others. Discouragement enters when we doubt ourselves. If we focus on the negatives then we will be discouraged. If we allow the positives in then we’ll feel confident.

Feeling confident isn’t the same as arrogant. Although some may perceive a confident person as arrogant. Not so. That’s their perception. What others perceive doesn’t make it so. No matter how many attacks are projected. We should never stop feeling good about who we are.

No one has the power to lower ones self-esteem unless a person allows those persons to do so. As long as we’re believing in self. We’ll be alright but as soon as we doubt ourselves. We may slip down hill. Some aren’t capable of sharing uplifting words because they’re feeling miserable. We may want to consider spending less time with those who are unable to lift others up.

We should focus on the positives and continue doing what we love. Live our lives with happiness and not despair. Be encouraged and remain hopeful. Know that breakthroughs will come and there’s blessings at the end of the journey.

To be confident doesn’t mean that some days won’t have trouble but it means that no matter what. We have enough drive to keep going. If we’re able to block out the negativity then we’re able to be more productive. We feel better about ourselves when we’ve accomplished more.

We prosper with works. When we’re doing a good whether we’re told or not. We develop more confidence. We fair better when we feel joy. Happy with what we’ve accomplished so far and what we’ll accomplish in the future.

Never allow what others think or say stop what’s designed and purposed. There will be many opinions but everyone has one. No amount of chatter should create a stop to a dream, vision, or ideas. Sometimes just spending some time meditating will help keep a person on track. There will be critics there’s no way of getting around being criticized unless we do nothing. Remaining confident and feeling good about what we’ve accomplished is a great way to remain driven and determined.

    • Oh confidence, this is the reason why our Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach won the tilt because of her answer during the question and answer portion when she said she is "confidently beautiful with a heart." Confidence is one of the attitude and traits that every Filipino must develop because most of us have low self-esteem. We are good and we are outstanding but we have little confidence in ourselves which always reflect in our face. I guess we filipino should have to develop this attitude.

    • Confidence is the cream of life. Whatever work we undertake and is given should be attended to with confidence. Though the term confidence is an intrinsic property of one, it should be viewed both as an intrinsic and extrinsic.
      A boss will ask you to do a job because he chose you for doing that particular job. In his opinion you are a more suitable person meant for doing it than others. He is having confidence in you.
      Now your job is to do it with dedication and do it perfectly reaching to the expectations of your Boss. You can not do it as per your own inner sense and submit something only to displease your Boss. Here your inner will not workout. You will not have the appreciation from anybody including your boss. Here you can not argue with others even if you are right in doing that job with your own confidence. If you do it and still argue about what is right as per your inner will then it will not be called confidence but only as an arrogance. People will hate you.
      Thus confidence is both intrinsic and extrinsic. You can not break the confidence of your boss on you and do things as per your whims and fancies.
      The confidence speaks about the perfection in making and attempting a work that is given and taken up.

      If you are asked to take up some job you are supposed to do it with dedication , with due respect to the established norms and procedures. If you do it as per your choice and preferences people treat you either as a lunatic or as an Arrogant.
      Sincerity , obedience, and perfection are the three jewels of Confidence.
      As a social creature one should look to the social acceptance of the work done. You can not say ‘I go ahead unmindful of the criticism from others’ it does not carry any value. Take criticism as a positive aspect and try to analyze the work done whether it is actually suitable for criticism or not. If the criticism is correct one should accept it and making necessary corrections accordingly to the job done. Even before that have as many consultations with other experts and elderly people as possible and confirm whether the criticism is a healthy one. If it is so, then nothing is wrong In accepting the criticism.
      Seeing positive side of criticism is another jewel of Confidence.

    • I like what you have shared very true indeed. If we listen to people and do what they want then we are loosing our self confidence thinking that what we are told is what is good. When you go out to look for a job do you always follow all the things that you are told? Am sure you don't, why because you trust yourself to do the right thing. Confidence can come in different ways just the way you have listed them above but there are those people who will take it in the wrong concept as usual.

    • Life pleasure and progress rest in confidence and confidence comes from real knowledge and knowledge come from the holy books reading in depth.
      Every human contains a powerful success mechanism, which is goal-striving. This power success mechanism only becomes activated when a clear goal is in view. Therefore, sit down and decide what you really want to accomplish.

      Do not borrow another person’s dream. Set your goals and believe in their possibility. If you are not passionate and convinced enough about where you are going in life, someone else will succeed in convincing you to look the other way.

      If you have not got a clear vision yet for your life, take time to identify what you want your life goals to be. Ensure that what you have chosen is in harmony with your talents and passions. You will not be able to endure in an undertaking beyond the level of your love and passion for it.

      Make sure that what you build your life around is what you really enjoy doing. “A goal properly set is halfway reached,” said Zig Ziglar, the American motivator. One of the ways to properly set a goal is to make sure that you set a goal that you will be really looking forward to pursuing.

      Unless you detach yourself from the false self, the true self, who is creative, energetic and result-driven, cannot emerge. Highly successful people are those who have tamed their ego and are willing to take the next available actions even in the face of fear and discouragement.

      Their intention is to try many things and fail quicker so that they know what works or doesn’t work. Successful people are more passionate about success than their fear of failure or momentary disappointment.

    • Having confidence is indeed important. But at the same time we must not be so over confident that we enter into the habit of disregarding people and their ideas or be rude to people. We must try to maintain the balance of having confidence to strive for greatness and to achieve our fullest potential, being successful and being respectful.
