Our society and community is built in a way that people are afraid to do some things which are not “generally appropriate”. The reason of it is that humans are social creatures and we can’t live without context of comparing ourselves to other people.
However often such comparison is rather harmful than useful. Good example is doing business. People are often afraid to start a business because they are afraid that they are “not good enough”. Or give up after the first attempt.
Confidence is a key for doing business. But not only for business. Some people are even afraid to talk to others or walk outside of their house. All of these are example of even bigger panic which people feel instead of enjoying a normal life.
So what are the main means to improve confidence and be more independent in life? There are a few of them.
- Realize that we all are just humans. No Gods live on Earth nor live Devils. We all have our strengths and all have our weaknesses but in the end of the day we all are humans who have similar dreams and problems. Even the millionaires, even the ones who talk on TV. That’s why it makes no sense to compare people basing on “they are better than others” or “they are worse than others”. We all are the same – we all are humans.
- Fear always targets the one who looks for it. Are you afraid of that people will laugh at you? They most likely will. Are you afraid of getting into an accident when driving a car? You most likely will. And so on and so on. If you believe in God you should know that God loves the brave. So be brave and dismiss all the fears.
- Attempts matter. The world works the way that few things work from the first attempt. Therefore trying things and repeating is very important. Begin with something simple and keep trying. You will most likely succeed and gain confidence.
Following those steps can boost the confidence and make things brighter and easier in life.
