What is Self-Confidence?

Easy to identify, yet difficult to define, conceptualize, and measure – what does self-confidence actually mean?

Without a doubt one of the main requirements to success, happiness and reaching your goals is confidence. Having enormous self-confidence will also be useful in just about every part of your life.

Some people say that we were not born with self-confidence, that is, self-confidence is not something innate. It must be taught, nurtured and built over the years, at any stage in life.

This statement needs more deliberation. When we are born, our degree of self confidence mainly depends on prenatal factors, including our time in the womb, but even the quality of our life before entering the womb of our present mother. Different persons are born with a different degree of self confidence according to their conditioning acquired in previous lifes.

Whether a lot of self confidence or lack of self confidence...

Fact is that we consider self confidence such a crucial asset, because we actually possess it all the time. We wouldn’t hanker after something, which bears no meaning for us, to which we don’t have any resonance.

We are looking for something that we have lost, which just means that our original self confidence has become covered by identification with external factors. It is here, it was here, all the time, but at present it is – more or less - covered. The real objective now is to UNcover our essential self confidence.

One very effective method of uncovering or discovering our true nature, which is just naturally charged with self confidence, is the release of limiting thoughts, feelings and artificial needs. I recommend this time proven releasing method is one of the best programs to help you realize this goal.

Your degree of confidence is truly the outcome of how you perceive yourself - which is eventually how people will perceive you. How people interrelate and respond to you is a reflection of how you perceive yourself. Therefore if you don’t have a high degree of self-confidence or a huge deal of self-esteem – then it’s mostly because you are concentrating on your negative traits and on what you are doing wrong. In other words, you are being your own worst enemy! The good thing is that you can alter this and improve your self-confidence.

Having self-confidence does not necessarily mean that people will be able to do everything. But from a strictly spiritual point of view there is actually no limit to our capacity. What is called miracles by some persons is just day to day reality for more advanced beings.

We have direct experience of this fact: Imagine a scene around 1790. You are sitting together with some friends in your house at night, oil lamps and candles spreading their dim ligth on the veranda. You fantasize about light one hundred times brighter just at the push of a button. “He believes in miracles”, your friends make fun of you, “and maybe you dream about carriages without horses, too. Hey man, come back to reality now. It’s time to be realistic again. Please, stop your daydreaming.”

Back then there were so many things considered impossible, which are so much integrated into modern day life that we aren’t even aware of them. Most of modern technology wasn’t even considered impossible. It was not taken into consideration at all, vastly surpassing the imagination of almost everyone.

From the platform of pure consciousness everything is possible. Wallace D. Wattles, in his book “The Science of Getting Rich”, states correctly: “The thought of a house of a certain construction, if it were impressed upon formless substance, might not cause the instant formation of the house, but it would cause the turning of creative energies already working in trade and commerce into such channels as to result in the speedy building of the house.

We live in a thought world, which is part of a thought universe. And if there were no existing channels through which the creative energy could work, then the house would be formed directly from primal substance, without waiting for the slow processes of the organic and inorganic world. No thought of form can be impressed upon original substance without causing the creation of the form.”

People who are not self-confident rely extremely on the consent of other people in order to feel good about themselves. They have a tendency to prevent taking risks because they are afraid to fail. They usually do not expect themselves to succeed. They often place themselves down and tend to disregard or overlook remarks and praises paid to them.

On the other hand, self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they normally believe in their own skills and abilities. But even these skills and abilities are external factors, which could change at every moment.

People of total self confidence go ways beyond that level. They believe in their own intrinsic self worth. They tend to accept themselves wholeheartedly and unconditionally; they don’t feel they have to conform in order for them to be accepted.

Some people say that self-confidence is not essentially a general trait or characteristic which permeates all aspects of a person’s life. Usually, they argue, people will have some aspects of their lives where they think they are quite confident, for instance, academics and sports, while at the same time they do not feel confident at all in other fields, for example, personal appearance, social relationships, among others. But as mentioned above, this kind of self confidence is not the real, natural and unshakeable type of self confidence we’d like to see in our lives. If a person possesses self confidence in one area of life and lack self esteem in another, then the conclusion is that this kind of self confidence is more or less superficial. Skills, abilities, riches, beauty, wealth, health and fame cannot provide solid self confidence. It is just the other way round. We shall automatically have all these things, when we develop our innate, natural and intrinsic self confidence.
