Though Lex Luther may have had too much and Superman at times had to search within for his, in real life it's up to Super...
When
it comes to understanding personal performance, the fundamental
attribute that determines the capacity of a person’s ability is
premised on the individual’s personal confidence. Personal
confidence is the driving force behind a person’s action towards
accomplishing their endeavors. Granted, there are plenty of factors
that can determine a person’s outcome while pursuing their own
goals, however without mental confidence, you can’t even begin to
think about achieving your goals or aspirations, let alone take
action. Here are three important features that make personal
confidence a must:
Removes
FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real) –
Personal confidence can remove hesitation, which is an attribute that
originates from fear.
Provides
Opportunity –
By removing that hesitation, you then begin to open doors of
opportunity. A great example would be the Jim Carey movie,“Yes
Man”. Although it’s a little bit extreme, it clearly conveys the message
of being confident for life opportunities.
Builds
Personal Posture -
Once opportunities begin to come into your life, you begin to build
your personal posture. Similar to physical posture of sitting
up straight and standing tall, personal posture is your stance and
the value you give yourself, which displays a command of respect from
those around you.
On
the flip side, here are 3 potential weaknesses that can hinder your
personal confidence:
Negative
associations –
Friends that drain your personal confidence must be avoided at all
cost. If they are not for you, then they are against you. I
hate to be so dramatic, but I think you get the message loud and
clear.
Excessive
Media Exposure –
Every day the media exposes you to a large quantity of negative
news. If left unchecked, this negative bombardment can
creep into your subconscious and make you feel as if you are part of
a chaotic world of which you have no control, which could not be
further from the truth.
Negative
Self Talk –
If the voice in your head was an actual friend, how long would that
friendship last? I think this speaks for itself.
You
are one of a kind; there is only one of you that have ever existed in
this universe. If that’s not special, I don’t know what is. Be
confident in who you are, I guarantee it will open up doors to the
opportunities that you have always been looking for.
