How To Start Having Self Confidence For Life Pursuit

The journey to success is not a smooth one, there are a series of challenges always ready to shake you and make you go back. Your conviction that you deserve to be great must be known. People don’t become great by magic, there are lots of people on the quest for a seat at the top and if you are not confident enough, they will intimidate you, plant fear in you, make you go down, and use you as a stepping stone.


So many people die inside at the sight of a problem, they don’t even want to know the magnitude of the problem, either big or small. There is always an inner weakness and conviction that they can not overcome.


Building confidence is very important, it helps you to be physically and emotionally strong. Most battles of life are not always physical but of the mind. When you are able to build your confidence, no matter the level of challenges that comes your way, something inside you will keep telling you that you will overcome.


Below I will be listing 5 good reasons why you need to build your confidence.

1. To Overcome Fear:

Until a man is able to subdue fear and put it under his control, he will always be scared of making exploits. The major reason why most people settle for less anywhere they find themself is that they have not been able to build their confidence.

2. Inferiority Complex:

Looking down on oneself is one evident feature of a lack of self-confidence. When you are not confident in yourself, you will see others as better than you.
The inferiority complex has been the reason why so many talents are being buried till tomorrow.

You must refuse to be oppressed. You are equal with every human being, no one is better than you are.
Secondly, You can sing doesn’t mean you can’t dance,
You can’t drum doesn’t mean that you can’t speak
You can’t draw doesn’t mean you can’t advise.
If there is anything anyone is good at that you are not that wants to make you feel inferior, know today that there is something you are good at that he/she isn’t.

You have no reason to be shy, you are not wrong neither are you weird, you are like just everybody.

4. To Move Higher:
