The State of Confidence

In a state of confidence you are able to carry out certain tasks fluently without hesitation
or error. When feeling confident it appears to the outside world at least as if the task you
are performing is something you have always been able to do. People rarely question
people who appear confident as to whether or not they feel it or if it is just an act. When
you are confident with yourself others feel this confidence too, people have faith in you
and believe in your abilities.
Confident people have the ability to make other people feel confident. Likewise people
who lack confidence can make other people feel uncomfortable and ill at ease. People
generally try to avoid people who make them feel like this. Have you ever wondered why
confident people generally seem to have their lives together more than people who lack it?
They seem to find themselves in positions of power and prestige. Is it luck, probably not?
They carry themselves very well, they are able to handle any problem that comes their
way. They are self-assured and have absolute faith in their ability to get any job done.
Confident people get things done, they make things happen for themselves, they are
rarely the result of circumstance, rather they create their own realities and whatever is
lacking in their life they know they have the ability to go out and get it. Have you ever
noticed how you can sometimes spot a confident person before they even open their
mouth?
Oh to have confidence. To be like the person you met at work today who flawlessly
stepped up and delivered a perfect presentation, who answered every question put to them
in a calm, controlled and precise way with dignity and elegance. Who looked every bit the professional executive with their crisp clean suit and well groomed appearance and who made the entire audience feel completely relaxed and at ease.
