How To Gain Confidence - Be Truly Confident

By:


Do you look at movie stars and think Wow, I wish I was as confident as them!

Funnily enough, most of those movie stars are actually some of the most insecure people. Their very livelihoods live and die on the perceptions others have of them. In many cases, their confidence is an illusion. But they rely on the outward projection of self-assurance as part of their job.

But this isnt restricted to stars of the silver screen. We are generally very bad at picking who is confident and who isnt. You can almost confidently say that most people are not truly confident.

When I say truly confident, I am talking about being broadly confident in all areas of life. I am talking about people who are able to be confident even in areas where they are out of their comfort zone.

The thing is, just because a person is confident in one area of life, by no means are they necessarily confident in others.

Someone might be very incredibly gifted at playing the guitar, but hopelessly unconfident when speaking in front of audiences. If you saw them playing the guitar, you might mistakenly assume that because they look confident doing something they are very good at, that this would transfer to other areas. It often doesnt.

In this situation, their confidence isnt true confidence. It is confidence that stems from their hours of practice at playing the guitar. When they are doing what they are good at they give a very convincing illusion of being confident. But in this case, the confident isnt able to be transferred to other areas of life.

If you want to be truly confident, your self-esteem needs to be able to keep firm, even when you cross over from familiar situations to unfamiliar, unknown scenarios.

You can learn to be confident. When you are truly confident, you can cope with whatever challenges life throws at you.
