IMPORTANCE OF SELF-CONFIDENCE
If there is any fragrance we need to wear and be conscious of, it is confidence. Self confidence is very important in every aspect of life. Its importance touches every field of endeavor. It is a must have for all prospective leaders.
Let us look at some reasons we need confidence.
We need self confidence to become great leaders. If a person must lead, then he must be confident. I do not believe there is any one that will follow after a person that is not sure of himself. People only follow and believe people who are sure of their abilities and skills.
It will help build a network of a winning team, and enable them to achieve their goals.
Self confidence helps people to build important connections that will lead to success in life. A person can attract a partner and maintain a healthy relationship when he or she is confident.
When a person exudes confidence, people easily trust them and prefer doing business with them.
One can easily handle conflict and make peace when he is confident.
- Confidence in one's skills can earn him promotion in his workplace.
We have looked at the importance of self confidence, let us also take a look at the other side of it.
What happens when a person is not confident?
He will lose many opportunities from which he would have achieved his dreams/goals in life.
He will miss some relationships because no one likes to be with someone that looks insecure.
He will be prevented from growing. When a person is always afraid to try new things or seize opportunities, he will definitely not grow.
Some positions will elude such a person.
A young lady narrated how she lost the opportunity to get assistance for her business. It was an event and people were asked to come out and talk about their businesses and the help they need to move their businesses forward.
She remained on her seat, watching people who were bold enough to take the challenge. They all received the necessary sponsorship and improved their life while she remained the same.
What do you think happened to her? According to her, she regretted not being bold enough to go out.
And she will always be in regret whenever she remembers the incident.
Living in regrets is one thing I do not desire for you as a person. I want you to be bold enough to face your fears, being conscious that you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you. Do not ever be afraid of failure.
Never think that you are not worthy or qualified.
I once witnessed a situation where my colleague in school lost the privilege to become the electoral board chairman in my department.
He was nominated by members of my class for the position, but when students began to murmur for not knowing him, he threw in the towel and rejected the offer. He lacked confidence, and declared his incapability and that ended his significance in the department.
Lack of confidence in my conclusion is a disease and it has a cure, which I'll be sharing in my subsequent write ups .
Thank you for reading through.
I invite my friends @goodybest, @steemchiller, @eliany to join me in this post.
