When You Look in the Mirror -What Do You See?
When a person enters the room, we all have a special aura above us, showing the temperature of our glow. All people can shine to the brightest through their confidence, regardless of appearance. So what do people think about you when you enter the room?
Role models in Childhood
The best reference group in Childhood is your parents. What was their attitude towards life? Did they go bravely conquering new challenges? How did they view themselves when you grew up?
Not all of us were taught strong confidence as a child, but this was one of the early things I learned to start building myself. It’s about how you want the world to see yourself, and start taking action to accomplish whom you want to become.
One of my weakest situations was speaking in public. I had a bad experience at law school when I had my first English presentation in front of 150 students. The topic was the Constitution of China, and my friend had left my part of the presentation at home. It was a catastrophic moment I can laugh at now but will remember for the rest of my life.
However, with bad experiences in mind, I started to take tiny steps to challenge myself to become a better public speaker. At work, I continuously volunteered when I needed to take this role. Gradually, performance has become my passion. Your confidence and belief in yourself increase through trial, error, and success.
Confidence is the Key to Success
When I see people on the street, I see potential everywhere. However, many of us are walking their path heads down without seeing the true selves that they could be. Bring me ten people in front of me, and I can tell in seconds what is their attitude towards themselves.
Seeing a confident person reflects success and admiration. Those people are the ones that seem to get all the best opportunities, and luck just seems to come on their way.
When you have good self-esteem, you spread positivity and good energy around you. This is why people want to be with you and build up business or other relationships.
Confidence Can Be Learned
Confidence doesn’t come from the comfort zone. It’s about challenging yourself, experiencing new things, and growing as a person. When you can be consistent in living according to your core values without the need to compromise them for anyone, a person can feel most confident.
Whatever you think, you become. This is why how you see yourself is one of the core things. Either you believe that you’re going to succeed, or you consider yourself a failure. In this manner, you’re the designer of your own life.
First, you need to become conscious of your actions. After that, you can start taking tiny steps in areas you have identified that need improvement. Don’t settle for the temperature in the room, but let yourself shine to the brightest anywhere you go.
