How Can I Get Self Confidence?

How can I get self confidence? I was thinking about that the other day, when I remembered overhearing an interesting conversation between a father and his thirteen year old son. What I overheard goes to show that you are never too young to learn about making use of all the resources that lay within you.

“At the weekend, we spoke for a while about having self confidence and what it can do for you, do you remember that?” the father asked his son, smiling.

“Yes, of course I remember, Dad. We talked about how can I get self confidence in science. Self confidence is something that is very powerful. It can make you get what you want,” said the boy, stirred up as he showed his father that he had remembered the conversation. He then half-turned in his chair and sat attentively eager to listen and learn more.

“That’s right, Dave. Self-confidence is so powerful that if you have it you can do many things, and if you don’t have it, there will be many things that you cannot or will not do,” the father said as he knelt closer to the eager boy.

“The trick here, Dave, is when you do something and you do it with self confidence, it’s great to try to always remember that time and remember how fantastic you felt.

“You are thirteen now, Dave. You are a young adult, and you know how to focus on your feelings. We have spoken about that, too, last month, if I remember right. So remember the time that you felt confident and remember and feel how you felt.

“And when you remember and feel that moment, you will feel confident all over again, automatically, even if you were feeling lousy. Let me tell you something, Dave,” the father continued. “Learn to always remember your confident times. If it helps, write them down in a journal, and at the end of the month find how many things you did with confidence.

“After a short while,” the father continued. “You will naturally become confident. Dave, you have confidence within you, inside of you, and you know it, I know you do. Now you should learn to make full use of it and make it grow. You are a natural. It’s a blessing that not many people have.”

That was the gist of the conversation. Cracking words of wisdom, don’t you think?

Confidence is a blessing that not many people have. And those that do have that blessing do not acknowledge it, thereby losing the opportunity to build on it.

Do you make use of the self confidence that is already within you, that you are blessed with?

Do you experience where your self confidence lies?

Take hold of that self confidence that is within you and step up to the next level. Spread that powerful self confidence that is already within you and expand it to other areas in your life and become a more confident you.

Have a great day,
