7 Ways To Gain More Self-Confidence
Becoming More Confident
1. Learn to give and take graciously as true confidence cannot exist in a vacuum.
Though it might not feel natural at first, the most confident people are those who are able to find a balance between helping others and asking for help when they need it.
2. Arm yourself with the facts.
When you feel unsure, confidence can melt away.
Always being prepared with the correct information can help you retain your inner strength in an unnerving situation
3. You cannot rethink the past, but you could choose to reinvent yourself. Broadening your horizons with new and exciting experiences will help you to feel accomplished and will add unique modes of expression to your daily life.
4. It is too easy to forget how many difficult obstacles you've overcome when you're faced with the challenges ahead.
Keeping a success journal, where you list accomplishments big and small, as well as future goals, can inspire confidence when you're feeling overwhelmed or lack motivation.
5. Bolstering the confidence of others and making new friends are powerful confidence builders.
Help others to feel good by approaching them, asking questions, being friendly and complimenting them.
6. In situations that create feelings of uncertainty which can quickly undermine self-confidence, imagine that the difficulties involved are ones you've faced before.
Feeling self-assured about a few things can help you perceive yourself as confident about most things.
7. Each morning, give your self-confidence a jump-start with a positive affirmation.
Recall five the things you have accomplished. Look closely at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself that you accept, support, and trust yourself, even when the unexpected happens.
enjoy your successes today, they are your seeds for tomorrow

Jim Rohn shares these quotes to galvanize successful living
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." -- Melody Beattie
"The more you recognize and express gratitude for the things you have, the more things you will have to express gratitude for." -- Zig Ziglar
"Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light." -- Albert Schweitzer
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely."
Karen Kaiser Clark
"But as I look back at my life, it is easy to see that the times when my wisdom and understanding grew to new levels; those times when I approached becoming the person I long to be; it was always the times that followed negative circumstances."
Vic Johnson
"It is the Law that any difficulties that can come to you at any time, no matter what they are, must be exactly what you need most at the moment, to enable you to take the next step forward by overcoming them. The only real misfortune, the only real tragedy, comes when we suffer without learning the lesson." Emmet Fox
"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming."
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
"In relation to others, gratitude is good manners; in relation to ourselves, it is a habit of the heart and a spiritual discipline." -
Daphne Rose Kingma
"Habits grow with practice, from cobwebs into cables." -- Denis Waitley
"Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding." -- Harvey Mackay
"I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through - then follow through."
Captain Edward V. Rickenbacker

8 Stepping Stones in your Success Journey
8 Steps To Maintain A Positive Attitude on your Success Journey
1. Become ever mindful of all of your your thoughts, letting each of them arise with acceptance.
As you begin recognize any of your tendencies to self-limiting beliefs or attitudes , begin to dissolve them lovingly by focusing on ever more positive thoughts about your present and the potentials of your future.
2. The author Charles Dickens advocated
, "Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."
Don't maintain the habit of brooding over past mistakes, nor carry grudges, nor harbour hate.
3. Worrying is also a waste of effort and can be a vivid t breeding ground for self doubt doubt. It will lead you to contemplate potential losses rather than effective solutions.
The antidote to worry is often the decision to take a more positive action, no matter how small it seems
4. Adversity comes to each of us at one time or another
. Expecting rather than dreading this adversity can make challenging periods seem not quite so daunting daunting and will allow you to accept that you possess the strength to conquer each block as you have conquered hindrances in your past.
5. Assume that hidden in every obstacle there is a lesson for you
. Consciously choose to think of the challenges you face in a positive way: as a learning experience, an opportunity to demonstrate your strengths, or the first stepping stone on your bright new new path.
6. Think only about what you desire, not what you fear. Visualize future successes with the belief and feeling that you will achieve them, and then take some direct, inspired action.
When you are working diligently toward a goal, there will not be time to dwell so much on the obstacles.
7. When negative thoughts and feelings threaten to overwhelm you, take a "time out" and do something that makes you happy.
Lett yourself realy enjoy a favorite activity or meditation and that in itself will inspire well-being.
8. Be confident that no matter what adversity you face, you will be strong enough to remain positive and optimistic. Knowing that there is no obstacle you cannot overcome will give you that strength
