day 3_Self-confidence

Self-confidence, as the name suggests, is the amount of trust you have in yourself. The more you have, the less doubt you’ll have about your own intuition, and the further you’ll be from questioning it. Some people think self-confidence means speaking with your head held high and acting all formal, but those are just the surface-level aspects. Real self-confidence is when you act on the thoughts that pop into your mind without hesitation, because you’ve proven yourself to yourself and you’re not worried about what others or the environment will think.

Let’s say we’re in a class, and the teacher asks you a question that you know the answer to. But you hesitate to answer, right? Why? Because you’re worried about what others will think, and someone else steps up to answer instead, and later, you regret not speaking up. But let’s look at it from a different angle—every action has a reaction. Obviously, when you do something in a social setting, you’re going to see people’s reactions. If someone else does something, you’ll react to that too. But nothing happens to you for reacting, right? The same goes for you—other people will react, but in the end, you won’t die from it. You’re still here.

Or when you have a question and you’re worried about what others will think—what if it sounds dumb? Nah, just ask. Why would you hold yourself back and let your mind mess with you, making you think you’re dumb? People are so caught up in their own lives that they barely think about you, to be honest. Even the people who love you don’t spend that much time thinking about you. So why make a big deal out of what others might think? Why sell yourself short? What makes you less than anyone else? You might even know things others don’t, or have things others wish they had.

In this big world God created, there’s enough for everyone. Not everything is meant for just one person. So, work for what you deserve and never underestimate yourself.

Self-confidence comes from the energy you give off to others. Your appearance, your behavior, your reactions, and the respect you have for yourself all get stronger when you set boundaries with your friends and truly understand who you are. When you invest in yourself and go after your desires and goals, that’s how you build your self-confidence. 

It all comes down to how you want to live your life—whether for yourself or for others. Everyone is going to die one day. So, when that day comes, do you want to be one of the people who is at peace with their life, going to their grave with love and satisfaction? Or do you want to be in the group that still feels regret and guilt, wishing you’d actually tried to live your life for you?
