RAISE UP YOUR LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE
Confidence is the freedom from the influence of doubt in yourself and the consolidation of your belief in your ability. It is generally described as a state of being certain that a hypothesis is correct. The hypothesis here is your ability. Hence, confidence is that strong persuation that you are able to do things well.
The word confidence originates from the latin word Confidere meaning to To trust. Trusting and believing in yourself and having faith in your abilities in whatever situation that requires your performance, is the fulcrum of confidence. You must have full assurance that things are going to turn out well each time you handle a challenge.
Confidence creates the following three basic things;
Confidence creates competence
Confidence propels persistence
Confidence expresses enthusiasm
Competence provides an avenue to prove your ability to do things in a satisfactory or effective way. Even if you are ill-prepared for an examination within the confines of reasons,a surge of confidence from within makes you more relaxed and affords you the privilege of reasoning with great efficiency.
One thing that affects your competence is your tendency to magnify limitations. Confidence helps you to ignore limitations and helps you soar high to the Zenith.
One thing that inspires you to keep trying and trying until you get there is persistence. It is the propelling force that keeps you resilient and persistent. Confidence keeps you going through the tunnel because it assures you of light at the end. In a swimming dash, confidence keeps telling the contestants that "one more stroke and you will win", until they finish.
Logically, the only reason why you will not give up in your career is the fact that you strongly hope without any shadow of doubt that you will make it.
Enthusiasm is that inner excitement that cheers you to pursue your goals persistently. Confidence makes you happy and keeps you upbeat concerning what you are doing even when there are apparent failures. Others might think this idea is insane but you being already inundated with passion for the job keeps you going.
Confidence keeps you in charge. It helps you to be in control of any situation and gives you the courage to call the shots. It helps you manage your thoughts and feelings to increase your level of effectiveness. The role of confidence cannot be over emphasized in every facet of your career, from the writing of examinations as a student to the oral confidence of your research project.
Confidence earns you respect and add values to your opinion. Before people will believe you, they must be convinced that you believe in yourself by your demonstration of self confidence.
