Self confidence has a way of being visible. You can tell by observing the very manner of a person walking, communicating, working, socializing, as to whether he is confident or not. The very first handshake with a person will tell her level of self confidence.
A self-confident person truly stands apart. Drooping shoulders, falling jaws, undecided steps are not the characteristics of a confident person.
Confidence is infectious; the very presence of a self-confident person tends to charge up the air around him. Everything automatically falls in place for a confident person, and the world stands apart for the man who walks with sure, confident steps. A confident person commands respect as well.
So, the confident ones are the ones who will get attention. Attention will bring them acceptance first, then love. With time this will bring them peace, then energy. All this will make you efficient. Efficiency makes you an achiever and achievement makes you even more confident.

It leaves you undecided and the undecided are swept away. There is no place for the undecided in this world where seeking success is what everyone is doing. For those who are undecided, success comes only by chance.
Self confidence is the pivot on which all the creative and analytical abilities of the mind rest on. So, to re-enable your ability to decide, first upgrade your self confidence.

Your self confidence will make you to achieve your goals
Your self confidence will help you not only in going ahead, but also in achieving your goals.
To be able to achieve a goal you need skills, discipline, determination, capability and self confidence. Self confidence comes from having the right kind of skills and clarity of goals to be achieved. The clearer the goal, the better the focus of mind and self confidence.
Self confidence is the measure of one’s ability to march right ahead to achieve a said goal, taking the risks you have to. As we know, there’s no gain without pain.
It’s sometimes the bald guy who takes the girl because he has something more than the handsome guys around – yes, he oozes self confidence that makes the lady weak in her knees!
Confidence in themselves was behind scores of people who broke the shackles of a well- paying, “secure” job to pursue their dream of creating something, being something and ended up building great businesses. Surely what turned these seemingly ordinary men and women who were stuck in the nine-to-five ordeal into successful entrepreneurs was nothing but a belief in their dreams and immense self-confidence!
So what is it that enables one person to go ahead and take risks while another is held back?
Yes, it’s the level of confidence that makes people come out and lead from the front without caring for failure. Self-belief is at the core of self-confidence, and It’s this belief in oneself that differentiates achievement from failure.
It’s up to you
You self confidence requires developing your knowledge of your strenghts, makes you perform better and makes a difference to others.
As the old saying goes, you must stand for something or you will fall for anything – and it’s your confidence that holds you together or breaks you apart.
Confidence isn’t genetic nor it is hereditary. Nobody is born confident. Confidence is acquired. Confidence is learned. Confidence is improved. Confidence is practiced. And confidence can be generated. You need to first realize the importance of confidence before you can make any efforts to get better with it.
It’s very much in your hands to develop a self-confident behavior. This means that your self confidence is your responsibility, and none else.
