Confidence and Self-esteem, the Success Factor?

Hello fellow steemians and here to share my thoughts about Self confidence, Self-esteem and how it determines success.

Self confidence is a feeling of trust in one's capabilities, qualities and judgement. The self confidence am talking about does not include arrogance as most people mistake arrogance as confidence.

Am talking about the confidence one need to stand up to the world and its challenges. Through confidence, we believe in ourselves and be constantly reminded that we will succeed. Confidence helps us take actions and conquer any doubts that's bound to come up.

Confidence does not come from conforming to what the society, family and friends wants but from self acceptance and validation. I noticed that the happiest people are the ones with confidence and good self-esteem.

           SELF-ESTEEM

Self-esteem is defined as a reflection of an individuals overall subjective and emotional evaluation of their worth. A healthy self esteem gives you the confidence to believe in your worth and abilities and be able to try new things.

People with low self-esteem live constantly in doubts and expect failures at the long run. It creates boundaries and limits your standards. The way we see ourselves defines our productivity. Low self-esteem makes us pay so much attention to negative feedbacks, accept them and gradually turn us to be pessimists.
