Confidence, as we all are well aware of, is a must-have, really crucial self-growth skill. It is the rarest and greatest personal resource that can take one's personality from rags to riches and leave the rest in awe.

With it, one can face any situation knowing that it can be handled. Without it, we are destined to suffer and frown in oceans of self pity and regret of not having faith to make it.

There are various self-help books and talks available to cultivate this life-uplifting quality in oneself. There's also a popular phrase about confidence that says "fake it till you make it".

It is indeed a life-saving advice for those who are in a dire need of confidence to carry out their tasks and appear self-assured. Studies have even proven the truthfulness of this particular suggestion.

But the important part is, how long are you gonna fake it? For someone on a 9-5 job , faking to be confident for these 8 hours Monday to Friday every week of every month would be tedious. There's a limit, a threshold, reaching which, one can no longer fake things.

Undoubtedly, faking confidence is a great short-term solution to avoid unnecessary altercations and shush the trolls. But this method isn't the best long term method of dealing in life.

So, what's the better option? It is actually being confident. It is actually developing a rock-solid belief in one's abilities. Some people are born uber-confident. But do you know the exciting part? Rest canbuild self-confidence over the course of their lives. This is what majority of the people out there do.

Here are some benefits that improve your life if you are really confident:-

  • Increased self-esteem

  • Reduced stress and unnecessary drama

  • Greater energy and motivation

  • A Rigorous Drive to grow

  • The Vigorous Wish of Living life to the fullest

Something worth remembering is -

Confidence is a super Power! It isn't about being sure that "umm... they'll like me", but having a firm faith in "I'll be fine either way".Once YOU start believing in yourself, the magic begins....
