In life, we sometimes have to face unexpected situations which can be precarious. There’s always a lesson to be learnt in these sorts of situations. Life gives us surprises, sometimes good and sometimes bad. It also gives us success as well as failures in equal proportions. The unexpected results shatters our life, pulverise our confidence and make us feel miserable all the time. The only one solution to face unexpected event in life is you got to believe in yourself. Everything is run in the world by trust and belief. You cannot move ahead in life if you cannot trust the people working with you. Similarly if you don’t believe in yourself, you are not going to succeed in life no matter how much talented or how much humongous effort you put in your task to fulfil your dreams.

Belief is a strong word. Belief is your will power, your determination, your claim to fame or whatever you can call it. Let me tell you something about me. I don’t consider myself successful as I have envisaged. Still I am on the race to be successful in life ‘coz I believe in myself to achieve my dreams. You should also imbibe your beliefs within yourself. Powerful beliefs of an individual can help anyone to achieve success in any field whatsoever. But most of the times people are so engrossed in stereotypes and doing same set of monotonous tasks that they often neglect their inner potential of actually finding their true purpose and beliefs which can set them apart from their peers.

Believing in yourself is actually easy process. You got to take note of the following points if you want to rekindle your lost faith and belief and move into the path of prosperity.

#1 Surround yourself with great people

In life, we all come across with different kinds of people since childhood. Mostly we are surrounded by friends but few of them possess positive qualities. It is your responsibility to find these amazing people and make friends with them. Positive people boost your confidence, never let you down and always imbibe positivity within you. These people are your true friends. It can be your mentors, boss and of course your siblings and parents. They always lift you up when you are in pulverised state of life. They make you believe that you can definitely reach for moon and the stars. Failure is just a lesson in life. Never leave these amazing people in life as these people will always have a pivotal role in shaping your life and making you believe in your dreams.

#2 Look back at your past achievements – Believe in yourself

In course of our life, we often go through multiple phases of life – ups and downs. When we are successful, we bask on glory, ride on confidence thinking this will be an eternal phase but failure lurks right behind and who knows can sneak in and crushes our confidence. So when we face failures, our mind tells us that we are losers. But we just forget this is a temporary phase of life. It’s very natural to lose confidence when we fail but you can only resurrect yourself if you believe in your past achievements in life. Every individual in this world is special and possesses certain skills that makes him/her feel good or better than the peers.

Every individual must have a successful moment in any field during any phase of life. Basically an individual may not be good in studies but good in sports. He/she may not be good sports but he/she may be good in general knowledge. They may not be good in general knowledge but they can be good in artistic work. He/she can be good salesman/businessman/painter or whatever; he must be a good performer in any the fields to be precise. The achievement may be small but that recollecting the memory of success can make you believe that you are not a loser. So better jump on your feet and be pumped up for your upcoming venture or goal and ace it like a pro.

#3 Face uncomfortable situations

We often avoid uncomfortable situations in life. We try to run away from our fears thinking we won’t have to face them again. But the big mistake you are doing is that the fear, uncomfortable situations can come any time and these are unavoidable and unpredictable no matter how much you try to avoid, you’ll face the deja-vu. The best way to face is believing yourself and conquer your fears. It is absolutely fine to be uncomfortable in situations you’re trying to avoid. But facing that moment takes a little bit of courage. So if you have not done anything wrong, there is nothing to fear about anything. Be confident and brave enough to face any bad situation by believing yourself. Believe in your demeanour, in your ethics, in your confidence, in your self esteem.

#4 Express Yourself

You can solve a lot of problems in life if you are expressive enough. You can convey your problems by means of speech, emotions, writing, painting and whatsoever. It’s often seen kids and even adults don’t express themselves. The fear grips their mind and they are unable to express the pain or suffering they are going through in the school, workplace. People must express themselves and talk to friends, peers, partners, parents regarding the issue they’re facing. Expressing yourself gives quick solution to lot of problems. Keeping emotions and fear within yourself will not yield any solution.

You got to believe in yourself that there are lot of good people around you whom you can trust. Your complex queries will be answered restoring your faith and belief that expression is a way to vent out happiness and sadness at the same time. In this modern day and age, communication via email to boss, sitting on one to one discussion meeting are some of the several ways to express yourself at office, workplace, school, college.

Conclusion

Life is itself a big practice test. We fail and learn but we should not lose faith and let life takes it’s course. The only thing we need is to believe in ourselves and our true potential to achieve the goals we always aspire to achieve.

    I agree with everything on this list. Getting yourself out of your comfort zone helps you cultivate courage, learn new skills and be more confident about yourself.

    Lovely! I think Confidence is the one thing I struggle most with. I am constantly second guessing myself and worried about messing up. I rarely feel like I’m qualified for any one thing, even if I’ve had training and experience. Perhaps it’s my anxiety but I think where I get stuck is facing challenging situations. It is really hard for me to step outside of my comfort zone. These are all great points, thanks for a great post!

    Love this. Too many times lack of confidence keeps us from being great. Also comparing ourselves to others. Sometimes they just cover their lack of confidence better
