"Retaining Confidence"

confidence. is a attribute that comes naturally to everyone in times of success, good, happiness. can confidence be measured? yes it can. when your down, you have low self-esteem; low confidence. facing with every day's decision, u have sometime called natural confidence to take the every day risks like jay-walking. when you are on a roll, you will get high confidence. during this time, you think you are unbeatable, and will try many new things. confidence is always present in egoistic people. too much confidence leads to arrogance.


having confidence when you are on a roll is simple. just maintain ur composure and continue with what u were doing before. but how hard is it to retain confidence when it is the opposite? truth be told, it is not easy. not easy? it goes to the point of down right tough. to remain confident in difficult times, there are a few ways, 1) remain optimistic. 2) find someone to confide in 3) solve the problem as soon as possible. what does it mean to take each solution?

1) to remain optimistic. this is basically the lame man's way of solving problems. sure it sounds positive. imagine OPTIMISTIC. that is nonsense. it is just a way of giving an excuse for not doing anything; a very good excuse. well.. at least.. u dont really have to do anything and can still hope to get things done =)

2) find someone to confide in. this will help bolster confidence level by alot should you be able to find someone trust worthy to confide in. this is a alot healthier alternative, and the both of you together can even find ways to solve the problem that is causing a dent in your confidence level =).

3)solve it myself. the loner's way out. this is the most effective in my opinion and it helps bring awareness of your own limits so that in future you know how much you can push yourself and hence feel more confident about yourself. only downside is that your friends will feel they are neglected. =/

today's post is based on the alarming rate of depression surrounding me and including myself. this is a reminder for myself.
