Start by doing what’s necessary, then what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.
~ Francis of Assisi
Self-confidence and self-esteem are vital ingredients of a healthy human being. They make us feel successful, and with this feeling of being successful comes the ability to express ourselves fully.
Many men and women in their early stages find it challenging to express themselves because of their inferiority complex. They think more about others and less about their skills and talents. Everyone is perfect in their Universe except themselves.
The concepts of self-confidence and self-esteem are alien to them. What matters to them is the remarks from others. The compliments and complaints of others drive their feelings and emotions. They’ve no view of their own. It’s the knowledge and experience of others that run their life.
It’s necessary to understand that you’ll never be satisfied unless you find your voice to express yourself. You can’t remain standing on the riverbank watching life’s flow. You’ve to take action.
Self-confidence comes from self-trust. We feel confident enough to express ourselves when we know our potential and work with integrity. This integrity gives us enough self-esteem. There is a certain kind of aura around us because of the goodness and perfection in our work.
To develop self-confidence and elevate self-esteem, one needs to do nothing except practice integrity and bring perfection to her work life. Our work talks louder than our voice.
Others notice our unique persona when we have a sense of perfection and satisfaction with our work. We don’t have to bring confidence to our faces. It reflects in our actions as a natural flow.
We become spontaneous creatures expressing our true nature. We fulfill our destiny, and as a result, we get peace.
