Where does self-confidence come from?

You look at experts in their field, at people who have achieved greater or lesser success, and you wonder where their self-confidence comes from? Maybe it occurred to you that this certainty stems from their great successes, the things they have accomplished?

It's totally wrong. Confidence doesn't come from how you dress or run in YSL clothes, it doesn't come from what balance your account shows now.

Self-confidence, in my opinion, comes with time. It follows from this how much time you spend on self-development, on exploring knowledge. It connects directly to how rich your experience is. Let's say it straight, self-confidence comes from how deep you have knowledge in a given field.

The more knowledge you have, the more experience you have, the more self-confident you will be. Speaking of knowledge, I mean not only theoretical knowledge on a given issue but also knowledge about oneself. Of course, substantive knowledge is a "sine qua non" condition for self-confidence, one of its pillars, an absolute must-have. Imagine a situation where you stand in a courtroom, where you are to defend the client's interests, but you do not know the case, you do not know what it is about, you cannot find the appropriate procedural and material regulations. You risk being eaten by your litigation opponent. In such a situation, there is no question of self-confidence. You can of course play and try to mask your lack of knowledge, but that will come out sooner or later. Substantive knowledge is essential and there is nothing to discuss. Without it, you will doubt yourself, you will feel stress and frustration. However, when you have substantive knowledge in a given issue, each subsequent issue comes to you with greater ease and you overcome emerging challenges with greater efficiency.

It happens, however, that despite perfect substantive knowledge, mastering the theory to perfection, the certainty of operation causes many problems. There is a lack of self-confidence, a lack of self-confidence, and thinking "I certainly can't handle it". That is why it is not enough just to build a pillar in the form of substantive knowledge. No magnificent building will stand on just one pillar - it needs solid foundations to impress with its power. Therefore, in addition to substantive knowledge, you must have excellent knowledge about yourself. You need to get to know and understand yourself. What do I mean by that? Answer yourself the following questions:

1. How do you see yourself?

2. Do you value yourself, accept, and like?

3. Can you recognize your victories and reward yourself for them?

4. Do you know what your goal is and where are you going?

5. What are your principles and values? Are you faithful to them?

Regardless of whether you want to build your self-confidence in your professional life, in contacts with clients, or in your personal life (in relationships with loved ones), I am sure that these few tips will be useful for you:

# Read books that will help you get to know yourself, get into a relationship with yourself.

# Think positive. Put positive thoughts about yourself in your mind. Communicate with yourself only by using positive statements "I am confident", "I am worth it".

# Attend seminars, webinars, and online events to help you build the right mindset.

# Invest in a personal development course. Every day you invest in your substantive knowledge - and how often in personal development? In the correct mindset and mental health?

# Surround yourself with successful people, people with confidence. Being with these people is one of the best ways to learn. Usually, successful people are willing to share their knowledge, so take advantage of it.

# Get out of your comfort zone. Start doing things that challenge you. Every single success you achieve outside your comfort zone is another brick in building the foundation of your self-confidence. You grow outside your comfort zone!

# Love yourself! I'm not talking about narcissism, selfishness - any of those things. Just a healthy relationship with yourself. Love and accept yourself! So that you always feel comfortable with yourself!

Thanks to all these tips, if you implement them and apply them correctly - you will build self-confidence you have never dreamed of!
