Foster Steadfast Self-Confidence

Discover Your Deepest Desire

I had a friend reviewing the first draft of my eBook – in which he read a question that made him consider his own level of self confidence.  That question read, “If your success was unconditionally guaranteed – what one goal would take on?”  He sat back and seriously pondered that very question for sometime.  Shortly after that, he told me that his life was taking a turn for the better – in many ways and that this turn was having a very positive impact on his self confidence.

Having never considered this question before, he – like many others, never had the self confidence to truly mull over the question’s implications.  Like me, after having given it some serious thought, he was hit with a blinding flash of the obvious.  There it stood before us clear as day – our hopes and dreams were kept out of our reach only by our belief (or disbelief) in our own ability to reach them and that belief (or lack of it) has a correlation to our level o self confidence

Many of you are probably experiencing the same kind of self confidence ‘screen’ separating you from your dreams.  You can see them through the screen, but you are unable to allow yourself to truly feel them as accomplished.  You have so many things you want from your life.  All the things you want to be, to have and to do; all the things you want to experience and give to your loved ones.  But that thin ‘invisible’ self confidence screen holds you back.  That ‘screen’ of the unsure will only be cut by a sharp and steadfast level of self confidence.

Take a moment to ask yourself that very same question:  “If your success was unconditionally guaranteed – what one goal would take on?”  Have the self assuredness and self confidence to honestly and the question about yourself to yourself.  Get yourself into a quiet spot and sit down with a pad and pen.  Write that question at the top of the page.  Or, your could do like I do and say the question into a recorder and play it back.  However, which ever method you use, record your answers.  Don’t hold back.  Let it all out.  Let out all your dreams, desires and goals.  You are after all unconditionally guaranteed success the moment you have the self confidence to go after it.

Feel the ‘power’ of having accomplished these goals as you describe them in detail via your pen or your voice.  Now take another moment and think about what a difference it would make in your world if you lived your life with this level of steadfast self-confidence everyday.  What would you begin to do?  What goals would you set for yourself today?  Tomorrow?  What dreams would you take on head first if you knew with every fiber of your being that you could accomplish them?

Record all this today – don’t let this slip away without getting it all down.  Let your heart pour out through your pen or into your recorder.  The key is to let all that is true inside you out.  You’re not trying to life up to the dreams, goals and aspirations of those around you – this is you having the self confidence to be honest with YOU.  You’ll find that allegra d order these quiet moments will always reveal dreams, goals and desires that are in direct harmony to your deepest values and highest aspirations.  You will be able to reach down and find out what is important to you!  You will uncover who you are and what you believe in deeply.

As you reveal these glints of the person you truly desire; have the guts and the self confidence to face yourself for who you want to be.  Stand toe-to-toe with the man or woman that you truly desire to be; not the one that you might be, nor that one that someone else would mold you into.  Stand there and give yourself a good look and realize – now that is the kind of person I WANT to be and the person I will become.

·        Make A Plan To Achieve It

Being true to yourself means knowing exactly what you want and having a plan to achieve it. Lasting self-confidence comes when you absolutely know that you have the capacity to get from where you are to wherever you want to go. You are behind the wheel of your life. You are the architect of your destiny and the master of your fate.

·        Use the “Act As If” Principle

Act as though it were impossible to fail. Act as though you already had a high level of self-confidence. And continually ask yourself, “What one great thing would I dare to dream if I knew I could not fail?” Whatever your answer, you can have it if you can dream it, and if you have the self-confidence to go out and get it.
