Someone once said to me, "life is for the strong, the bold and the wise."That statement have clung to my heart like flies to a drop of honey. Maybe that's not a good comparison. Like monks to a monastery (jeez, where are you getting your examples from?) Well, at least you get the picture. I've come to realize that having confidence is non-negotiable. It's a requirement in the field of business, relationships, family life, etc. Confidence is simply believing in yourself enough. That's it. It's trusting in yourself enough to deliver when it's time to do so. No one follows a leader who's not confident in their abilities. To command followership, to command the respect of people, of your spouse, business partners, juniors, you would need to have absolute trust in your yourself. It begins with you, because, let's face it, if you don't believe in yourself, why should others? Now, without beating around the bush any longer, let's take a look at the reasons to spend time working on your confidence.
