Understanding self-confidence

All success comes from the ability to do something, to be able to do it, and not from the inability to do something, to be unable to do it, or to be able to do it.

Self-confidence means believing that something is actually possible and achievable. So, self-confidence means understanding, acknowledging, and accepting your own abilities and talents.

When you have confidence in yourself, you will be able to have confidence not only in yourself but also in your team.

You can have confidence in yourself that the train will arrive at the station on time, or you can have confidence that the team you lead will win the competition. Both of these situations refer to your strong self-confidence, and whether the train arrives at the station on time or not and whether your team wins the competition are secondary.

So, self-confidence is simply the firm belief that you can do, handle, and achieve anything.

In reality, self-confidence does not directly refer to what you can or cannot do. It directly refers to what you think, what you can/cannot believe, what you can/cannot do, what you truly understand, and what you believe in yourself based on your thoughts and beliefs.

Believing that you can compete in the high jump, believing that you will pass the exam you just took, is essentially referring to the fact that you are actually going to win the high jump, and the uncertainty of whether you will pass the exam, and the fact that you are going to have to do something practical, regardless of the outcome. So if you want to have a strong sense of self-confidence, put success and failure in second place and put the belief that you can succeed and do it first.

If you feel confident in yourself, your positive outlook will increase, and when your self-confidence and your own abilities are combined, everything you set out to do will go smoothly.

If you don't have self-confidence, you will be anxious about the future, wondering if it will work, whether it will be successful, or whether you will be able to do it, before you have actually tried the things you plan to do.

All the situations where you can't do something, all the situations where you fail, all stem from a complete lack of self-confidence that you can do it and succeed.

If you don't have the confidence to pass your driving test, your mind will focus on your incompetence and your weaknesses in driving skills, and you will actually fail the test, just like you focused on the bad things you did. When you have high self-confidence, you will find that you can succeed even if your performance is not perfect because you are driven by the desire to succeed.

When you encounter difficulties, crises, and challenges in your endeavors, if you don't have self-confidence, you will lose courage and give up easily.

If you have high self-confidence, you will find it amazing that no matter how difficult obstacles, crises, or challenges you face, you can overcome them with ease.

Practice.

Have confidence in yourself. Believe in your own abilities and capabilities.

To have self-confidence, you don't have to be self-deprecating, but you do need to completely eliminate the one-sided thinking that says you can't succeed, that you can't be happy.
