Let in the Light
Today on the Building Self Confidence Blog I would like to reiterate the value of building success into your life.
There is a famous quote by Denis Waitley that goes "To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives." When you're feeling at your lowest it may be something you don't want to hear but take it from me never were truer words spoken! I liken it to letting light into your life. When you do this the darkness goes away. There is no room for low self-esteem or lack of confidence when you start to experience success. They are mutually exclusive.
It's not like you have to shoot for the moon straight away. Start with small things and work your way up. Just having some direction will do wonders for your self confidence. Make a list of the things you would like to achieve and take small steps to get there. A good idea would be to introduce a new discipline into your life every month associated with what you wish to achieve. As each new discipline becomes habit you can add one more thing to your list of successes. You see, you now have guiding light. You will instinctively know what takes you towards your targets or what leads you away. Before you know it, life will have changed beyond your imagination and you will feel better able to take on the bigger challenges life has to offer.
Remember this, it's not the goals that are important. It's what you become through their achievement. You grow in self confidence by overcoming lifes challenges and not through letting life take you where it wants. We choose to build ourselves up by swimming upstream or we choose to grow weaker by going downstream. Don't let someone or something else decide your fate.
Make a choice now!
