The Confidence Cornerstone
by Judith Bowman on 01/29/14
Confidence is the cornerstone of successful people. We here at PCI maintain that once we are secure knowing that everything said and done is within acceptable codes of conduct and acceptable behavior, we are confident to focus on people and topics at hand. Confidence advances achievement. Confidence is within each of us. For some, inner confidence is hidden, camouflaged or untapped. We only need to believe in our ability to overcome adversity through our inner confidence. We must want to log on....
When we act confident, we are perceived as confident and, as René Descartes suggests, "I think therefore, I am;" perception is reality. When we consciously program this "I am" attitude into our subconscious mind, and after consistent practice and repetition, these behaviors become a natural part of who we are.
Call upon things that don’t exist as though they do. Assume the feeling of a wish fulfilled and persist in the feeling. When we believe that something good is about to happen, it does. When we feel we can do something well, we do. When we know that we will act in an upright, appropriate or particularly effective manner, we will.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." Aristotle.
When you practice and emulate these behaviors, you will feel more confident and exhibit a confident persona.
Although no one is born confident however, anyone can develop a confident persona and program the positive "I am" attitude into our subconscious mind. We only need to 'log on' and believe we can. When we persist with conscious, regular, practices a confident persona will emerge.
Everything we need to succeed and excel is inside of us.
"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." Henry Ford
Step out of comfort zones and into different situations. This will challenge the status quo and help us cultivate interpersonal communication skills and build self confidence.
If you don’t believe in yourself, then no one will.
Confido!
