How to have self confidence? Well, that’s not a difficult question. The answer exists very near you – you just have to dig deep to find it. We know that the lowliest tasks are the ones that lift our spirits higher. Serving others give us satisfaction and pleasure like no other task does. In order to find the lost coin, you need to bend down low, and the most precious diamonds are buried the deepest. These diamonds – in this case – is your confidence.

It’s not that we don’t have confidence, it’s just that it’s been so buried – so deeply – for such a long time, we no longer know what it feels like. Confidence, therefore can be a state of mind, firmly sharpened by constant use.
It’s not ‘just’ a feeling. Confidence is also a state of being. Like intelligence, without constant use, it can also be stripped away. You used to have this get-up-and-go. Life, unfortunately has taught you to be more careful, to think more – and for longer. You’ve allowed life to shave the sharp end off your omph. You’ve let go of that sense of what made you push forward with that ‘I can do it spirit’. You’ve just let it fall out of your hand by slow and steady release.
