“Confidence: Dictionary definition: “the feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something”
Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities - not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn't about feeling superior to others. It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're capable.
Self-confidence means being self-assured. This can apply to everything from who you are as a person, i.e., your character, and to your accomplishments. Self-confident people don't seek approval from others because they receive that approval internally, they know exactly who they are and when they've done a good job.
Tony Robins says: “Self-doubt is learned. No one is born with self-doubt - children typically move through the world with plenty of confidence. By the time we reach adulthood, our natural confidence has been undermined by the opinions of others and by our own experiences. Self-doubt is a defence mechanism. It’s our brains protecting us - from failure, from embarrassment, from heartbreak. But it’s also driven by fear and it prevents us from achieving excellence.”
Tony will tell you that “Life is found in the dance between your deepest desire and your greatest fear.” Discovering how to overcome self-doubt means giving more power to your desires than to your fears. When you are more afraid of what you’re going to miss out on than of any negative consequences that will come from failure, that’s when your life leaps from ordinary to extraordinary.
Signs of low self-esteem include:
saying negative things and being critical about yourself
joking about yourself in a negative way
focusing on your negatives and ignoring your achievements
blaming yourself when things go wrong
thinking other people are better than you
thinking you don’t deserve to have fun
not accepting compliments
avoiding challenges for fear of failing
being overly upset by disapproval or criticism
feeling sad, depressed, anxious, ashamed, angry or worthless
