SELF-CONFIDENCE

Image
By
        Self-confidence is a thing you consciously cultivate into your life. Self-confidence is a state of believing in one's self. It is being sure of who, what you are and your ability. One of those things that fuels one's self-confidence is self-esteem.
      Self-esteem is an act of understanding and living by Self-Worth. Meaning whatever you understand or believe about yourself is whatever you live by. By implication, if you believe nothing good about yourself, you have a low self-esteem and if you so believe in yourself positively, your self-esteem rises.
          However, a lot of people believe not in themselves because they think, a neighbour is better of them. It is a No! Whosoever is not you is not better than you, they might have what you don't have, but they also do not have what you have, so, why comparing yourself? You are completely perfect.
       Again, Negative thoughts about yourself, not accepting your physique, your background, your personality  makes you feel inferior among your peers. I want you to have this understanding that, because you are different in shape and in other ways does not mean you are inferior, it only makes you unique. And looking at yourself in a more Unique way builds your self-esteem and your self-confidence is thereby influenced. 
        This habit of lack of self-confidence is common and rampant in our society. In that, some people want to become like another person, they would say "she is cool, relax and outspoken. My dear, that your natural way of behaving is the best for you. You think because your temperament is different from your friend's, he or she is better than you? No. You are uniquely packaged by God.  Whatever you see in your life is you. Don't feel inferior about it, don't compare yourself with any body, do not compete with any body because you are not inferior to anyone. Accept and cherish yourself. That is the best way to build your self-esteem and fuel your self-confidence.
       In reality, negative words from people can bring you down, but there is what to do. Whosoever is myopic speaks to bring your esteem down. And anyone who speaks about you is expressing an opinion, and remember,  it's not every opinion that matters, once the opinion does not fit your life, discard it and move on. It is your right to choose words that penetrate into your life. Choose the good and encouraging words.
      Largely, the success of a man all-rounder is determined by his self-confidence. If you don't believe in yourself, you can achieve nothing.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
