Building Trust in Yourself

By Darren Sima


Would you wish more significant self-confidence, or can you harbor unfavorable feeling toward those who seem overly confident?

Seeking stability

Just like anything else, a well-balanced, healthy a feeling of self-confidence is what we should strive for. But this is a question worth taking into consideration, is it possible to possess a realistic take a look at one's own abilities, and now have unstoppable self-confidence?

Yes it's, and that's where balance comes in. Self-confidence is an inner feeling of certainty with what we have to offer, and what we should are capable of accomplishing. It's closely associated with self-esteem, which is our personal estimation of our own value and worth like a person.

Without a reasonable a higher level self-esteem, it is impossible to manifest extraordinary self-confidence. So, self-esteem levels are key point, and they must be maintained within certain reasonable limits. In the same way an unreasonable amount of self-esteem creates an egomaniac, a lot of self-confidence can also prove to be unrealistic and counterproductive. Should it be unrealistic, then it is also possibly damaging on some level, physically, emotionally, or financially. How do too much self-confidence be harmful?

Everything has its limits

While a powerful sense of self-confidence can create new opportunities, it cannot change reality. As an example, on a physical plain, having complete confidence that one could fly in the top of a 50-story building will not negate the force or gravity. Gravity is really a force of nature, and it is not vulnerable to your will, that's reality.

Here's a good example from the financial world. Dumping your health savings in a falling stock exchange because you have are complete confidence that the situation is about to turnaround, will not alter the direction from the markets. You'll either be very lucky, or very broke, that's reality.

Think about emotionally? Having blind faith (unrealistic self-confidence), like these two examples will most likely have a negative impact on you self-esteem. As a result, doubt will erode your self-confidence and you'll experience a psychological set back.
