YO ppl of the world who have just found out my blog...hehe...gd for you....in case you know not who i am, i am a crazy person who just loves to rant abt life...interesting? then read on...
Ytd i talked(actually wrote) abt friends-the types and some of the situations you might find yourself in when dealing with friends. Today, i'll enter a topic which is the bane of most of our existances----confidence, or a lack of it... Confidence, the magical C word, it can make you the most powerful man in the world yet it is something that can make you look like a fool. If properly utilized it can help you to overcome your deepest, darkest fears. When i talk abt confidence, i usually am refering to the faith in something or someone's ability to do something...get my drift? nVm...you'll catch on soon enough...
Now when exactly is confidence gd you may ask....hmm...how shall i put it...firstly, it will help you to get things done more efficiently and well. Why? Simple, the thing is that when you have faith in your own ability you are ten times more likely to start enjoying what you are doing, and if you do so you will definately start to feel your energy rising and your prowless being enhanced...muhahahahhaahahhaahah
secondly, confidence will help you to overcome your problems. this is because when you have faith in your own ability or in someone else's ability then you will feel more at ease. i think it comes from the comfort and the knowledge that that thing will see you through it all...no matter how bad the situation seems..When you are relaxed and at ease, then you are more likely able to perform to the best of your ability.
Lastly, confidence is contagious. If you are confident, it will inspire ppl around you to be confident abt their own abilities. i'm not really sure why, but hey it is like laughter, involves some cheeem bio rubbish...who cares..
How can you bulid confidence? the answer is quite simple really...you must forget yourself and just go wild. allow me to elaborate. the thing that is preventing you from feeling confident is fear. i quote charles Lutwidge Dodgson "If u limit your actions in life to things that nobody can possibly find fault with, then you will not do much" sometimes you just have to have a bit more self belief and you will be amazed how fast you can build your confidence. Alternatively, you can base your confidence on someone who you look up to. For me its god, the omnipresent and most powerful king of king and lord of lords. if you dont believe in him, then place it on a person you respect and trust, maybe your best friend, your parent...who knows...as i said confidence is contagious, everytime you feel small, imagine that person by your side lending you his or her confidence and pushing you on, guiding your every move. Imagine what the person would have done in the situation and do it...that way you will perhaps just find a little more confidence...i guess that is why some performers will look for familiar faces in the crowd so as to calm their nerves and gain confidence. The second thing essential to gaining confidence is to know your stuff well. If you know it well enough then hey, who is to say your are wrong,, just go for it...hehe...
For those of you out there who are still wondering on how to bulid confidence, i can tell you that all you have to do is to have more self belief, do not be afraid of failure-it is better to have tried and failed then to have nvr tried at all...so the only person stopping you from gaining confidence is yourself. I am not saying it is an overnight thing...but if you keep at it, use every opportunity to learn and even more so if there is someone there to help you...ask as much as you can...only then can you be on your way to a new more confident you....haha...rmb...belief is the key to confidence...and it works wonders....
un dieu benissent toujours
may god bless you always...
