"The More you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have". Norman Vincent Peal.
Today lets talk about our Confidence Levels.
Would you like
to be confident? Your answer may be - yes; I do want to be confident. However,
this answer lacks the impact. It is too generalized. Just like everybody wants
to do well in life and be rich but not many ever realize this wish. This is
because to actually get somewhere in life, you need to quantify your
confidence. You need to define the task for which you need to be confident so
that you can execute it successfully. A
mere wish to be confident won’t take you anywhere. The dream must have a
deadline as well! There are simple steps to help you assist in these steps, by setting short and long term goals!
Self Confidence
differs for each individual. For a child it might
mean to be able to recite the poem to her teacher the next morning. For a
business executive it might mean to be able to present the business report to
the Board of Directors. For a salaried person it may be the ability to be able
to make a switch over from his secure job to a new independent venture and so
on. To execute their respective tasks, these people need a certain level of
confidence, which would see them through. Every task requires a minimum level
of confidence to be able to be executed. Do you have a task in your mind to be
done? Do you have the level of confidence required? Let us check it out!
Following is a simple questionnaire. You
have to answer to these in a YES or NO
1.
Does it happen too often with
you that you cannot make a decision all by yourself and you seem to look for
your colleagues, friends, or your spouse to sort the matter for you? Be honest!
2.
Do you always seem to be in
perpetual need of a support system wherein you can feel secure?
3.
Do you just sit and listen all
the times in your office meetings?
4. Do you feel difficulty in
reporting a matter to your boss or you have an excellent idea that can improve your
company’s efficiency but you cannot muster enough courage to go and talk about
it to your Boss?
5. Are you terrified to meet
someone new? Is public speaking your worst nightmare?
6. Do you timidly accept orders
from your superior even though you know that you are already overloaded and you
need to say no?
7.
Are you excessively concerned
about what other people think of you?
8.
Do you fear taking risks?
9.
Do you feel dissatisfied about
your appearance?
10. Are you uncomfortable in social gatherings – being amongst lots of
people?
I myself didn't answer yes to all of these questions, but I could definitely see I was a little more reserved than most. There were area's I needed to work on especially within my career. After throwing myself into a Personal Development and Leadership program, I found myself jumping out of my skin. I had so much more courage to move forward with my life. I stepped outside the box and really started to think independently about what I really wanted in life.
* I quit Smoking
* I lost and maintained a weight loss of over 24 kilo's
* I dug up all of my dreams and brought them back to life
* I was promoted at work in Finance and accounting
* I went after what I loved & started studying in the fitness industry, became a Zumba / Fitness Coach
* Started my own business around my passions in the Personal Development / Leadership Industry
If you happened to have answered Yes to any of the above questions, you seem to have a lack of confidence also that might become an obstacle
in successfully executing your tasks. Don’t Panic, as it is good that you found
out since now you are aware of a potential challenges of your life. The very fact
that you are aware of your confidence rating makes you ready to take further
action and work towards eliminating the negative effects of low confidence
levels and work towards building your self confidence.
