Advises to Help You in Increasing Self Confidence Confidence is the stuff of life that we are all made from. The difference just comes with our understanding and acceptance of things. Some people are just keener at recognizing themselves and their capacities than others. It all lies on our perception of our selves, our understanding of possibilities and our capability to put our understanding and perception to good use. That way, he would find means of compensating for such. However, introspection may also turn against a person when it has become too focused on the negative aspects of one's personality. This then is called thought rumination. Thought rumination is somewhat similar to that of a caged hamster. This is a way to run in tight circles by obsessing one's self on a loss, or a problem or any form of ambiguity that hinders the moving on process. If being you, as the created manifestation of God's love is not enough for to convince you of how worthy you are, then think only of this- God took time to conceptualize everything that you are now. Imagine, the Divine Being gave you the favor of His eternity. Then you, the creature would put all these to waste because you had failures that you cant get over with? To get self confidence, you must realize that your limitations must not limit you and your attributes must not destroy you. Instead, use all these factors to develop a personality that would be productive for you and all those that surround you. "Know thyself!", says the Oracle at Delphi. Though this might have been said thousands of years ago, it is undeniably true that we still can use the wisdom it says. If you always take your failures seriously and amplify them by ruminating at your mistakes, then it is likely that you are close to self destruction. Practice an attitude that celebrates on victories but forgets about your own stupidities. People are subject to committing mistakes, you must understand that. It is sad though that for some, this little voice has become their inner critic, or worse has for a long time muted. It is an innate murmuring voice that we hear. If we would all remember, this tiny voice has been with us throughout our lives, guiding us to make the proper decisions. But during the course of life, when we have become too jaded and have forgotten the beliefs we once had, this voice becomes silent that we no can no longer remember how good it feels to listen to its guidance.
