Personal Growth To Develop More Self-confidence
The image you have of yourself, your perceptions and beliefs about yourself and your abilities, are all determined by your level of self-confidence. Confidence has little to do with talent or skills, and yet it is the cornerstone of personal growth.
People who have low self-confidence, or who view themselves and their abilities negatively, will think: Growing? for what? Others will get stuck thinking that they are not even able to go any further, blaming their situation or environment. However, we should all know that personal growth is always possible.
How far can you go?
Only by knowing yourself and exploring your talents will you be able to slowly develop your own potential. However, the potential that is eager to be found may be suppressed by a lack of self-confidence and low self-confidence.
However, during this process of discovering your talents, you have no choice but to face your greatest fear: yourself. Your self-image is connected to your limitations, your past, your wounds, your peculiar way of being. Doubts about whether you’ll fit in, whether you’ll be able to do something or not, whether what you’re carrying in your emotional backpack will keep you from moving forward – these kinds of doubts are truly terrifying.
Only by daring to be yourself, accepting yourself as you are and loving yourself unconditionally, will you be able to heal your self-confidence and, as a result, achieve a positive position in which you can fulfill your potential.
Make peace with yourself and accept your weaknesses
A healthy level of self-confidence involves being aware of both your strengths and weaknesses. Accepting both allows you to love yourself, and even makes you appear “friendly” to others. Everything you carry within yourself is part of who you are. Acknowledging your weaknesses will give you the strength you need to achieve personal growth. Not doing this will make you more vulnerable.
Making peace with yourself will set you free from the limitations you place on yourself or that you accept from others. Making peace with yourself means accepting your weaknesses and relying on them to take your first step toward personal growth.
What other people think doesn’t matter
No one can please everyone. Trying to please everyone is a fruitless task, especially if you forget that the first person who should be proud of the things you do is you. No matter how much or how often people share their opinions with us, in the end everyone goes their own way. Your way, your life, that’s your business. What other people think of you is their business.
It is not easy to overcome the fear of being judged by society, or the fear of being rejected, or the fear of what others have to say, or the obstacles that this fear will put in your way. However, the things that others say or think only have power if you give them power.
Look inside yourself and decide who you would rather please: the audience or the actor. As you do this, remember that your life isn’t a play tied to a script again written by a writer who wants to see the paying audience happy.
Remember that there are a lot of people who only see a limited version of you. No one is better able to figure out your true motives, goals, and efforts than you. And don’t overlook envy, a trait that turns low-confidence or low-valued people into monsters that measure success by how high they are above others, meaning they have to put others down.
Do not allow this to affect you. Grow in such a way that you can put yourself over the opinions of others, and see yourself as you are and as you want to be.
