There are people who are very happy, very successful, and have created wealth, but because of issues such as separation from their spouse, an illness that has affected their beauty, or not succeeding in a work project, they have lost their self-confidence.
They have lost their sense of self-worth and positive feelings about themselves because they live in the past rather than moving forward and creating a beautiful future.
Move away from these thoughts by working on your personality. See what you can do now.
Do not keep looking for the difficult circumstances of your family. Do not look for someone to blame in your life. See how you can move forward on the path to success now.
What Do You Believe About Yourself?
Do you consider yourself a money-making person?
Do you consider yourself a very powerful and successful person, or an ordinary person?
When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you consider yourself unattractive or beautiful? How do you feel about yourself?
Do you believe that whatever you start, you can succeed at it and create wealth, or not?
Do you believe that you deserve to have the best and most wonderful romantic relationship?
I consider myself very valuable and powerful.
I believe that I contribute to the progress of people around the world.
I believe that I have knowledge that perhaps only one percent of people in the world possess.
I consider myself someone who can succeed when I decide to do something.
I believe in my unlimited abilities and in my own power.
I am a person who can move to any country, succeed, and create wealth.
I consider myself a unique and special person.
What Is Real Self-Confidence?
Self-confidence is based on this question: If there is a specialist in your field, do you consider yourself inferior to them or not?
Would you get married with the belief that you can handle and create a very good life? Or would you remain single?
How much do you value your own opinion, even when you know that others do not agree with you?
How worried are you about other people’s judgment of you?
How satisfied are you with yourself, your life, and the work you are doing?
It is good for us to expect more from ourselves in order to make greater progress.
Another definition of self-confidence is that a self-confident person loves progress and solving problems. They are not afraid of difficult work, they love studying, and every day they work on their beliefs about self-confidence and their sense of self-worth.
They do not run away from problems. Instead, they bravely solve them and are persistent.
Do you believe that you have the power to solve problems?
There is a group of people who have ideas for starting their own businesses, but they are afraid. What if they do not succeed? What will others say about them? If they face a problem, how will they solve it?
So they never start, and they never experience progress.
But highly self-confident people believe that God supports them and that they can succeed in any field they enter. Therefore, they become entrepreneurs in the world.
Love Yourself
A person with high self-confidence accepts themselves as they are and respects themselves even when they make mistakes.
High self-confidence means:
I love myself unconditionally.
I love myself even if I do not perform well, even if I make mistakes.
None of us is good at everything.
For example, I am not good at cooking, while my daughter, Hasti, is excellent at it.
It is true that I am not good at cooking, but I am excellent at sales. I am an outstanding writer. I am very brave, I step into the heart of my fears, and I am willing to migrate into the unknown.
The more you know yourself, the better you will act.
If we focus on our positive qualities and strengthen our skills and abilities, our progress will be much greater.
Just like me: instead of worrying that I am not good at cooking, I focus on strengthening my writing and sales skills, while I know and accept my weaknesses.
Human beings do not have the same abilities in every area.
Some people are excellent at learning mathematics but are not good at learning English.
Some people are excellent at acting or dancing.
The problem begins when we compare our abilities with the abilities of others and feel weak.
It is also possible that other people’s judgment is very important to you.
I myself had many of these weaknesses, and every day I am working on them.
I used to be someone for whom people’s opinions were very important. I learned this from my mother. Through self-confidence and self-worth exercises, I have improved greatly in this area, and every day I continue working on strengthening this weakness in my personality.
Focus on Your Strengths
Imagine a person who is excellent at home decoration but may not be good at baking cakes.
If this person lets go of the skill of making cakes and focuses on their strength—their decorating skills—they will gain more skill every day and become an expert in that area.
They do not care about other people’s opinions because they accept that they have been naturally excellent in this area since childhood, even without practice.
So they take this key and focus all their attention on improving their ability in decoration, becoming better and better every day.
Since childhood, I have loved buying and selling. Therefore, I practiced this skill practically, sold different products, studied, and strengthened this skill every day—not my weakness, which is not knowing how to cook.
I am excellent at teaching success and understand it better, and every day I study and practice in this field for four hours. Every day I become better and better until I become a professional, so that my weakness in cooking is no longer important.
Therefore, I do not go to cooking classes, because I can hire a cook to solve this issue, while I focus on improving my personality.
Do Not Underestimate Yourself
I remember that a successful person is someone who enters new fields and new types of work even when they have never had experience in that area before.
Do not underestimate yourself by saying, “I have no experience in this area, so I cannot succeed.”
I have entered many fields again and again that I had never done before.
For example, I used my English-teaching skills after migrating to an Arab country, and I made a great deal of money from this skill.
I did not say, “I cannot.”
I was hired by a famous college in Malaysia, where I had to provide counseling in English and sell their services.
At that time, my English skills were not very good at all, but I believed in myself. I entered that field and became very successful at something I had never done before.
Self-Confidence Means Not Giving Up
A highly self-confident person always does their best, but they are not worried about the result.
If you are dependent on the result, then at the first signs of failure, you will give up and stop continuing.
Real self-confidence means saying to yourself:
“Maybe I will not succeed at first, but I know myself. I am persistent and I do not give up. I will continue until I finally achieve the result.”
The Difference Between Pride and Self-Confidence
The difference between pride and self-confidence is that a highly self-confident person seeks progress for themselves and for others.
They love themselves and they also love others.
They believe in themselves and they believe in others.
But an arrogant person wants others not to progress. They see themselves as higher than others and try to bring others down.
Having high self-confidence means not only being confident in the things we know how to do, but also having the courage to express ourselves in areas where we are weak.
Controlling Emotions and Feelings
How much can you control your emotions and feelings?
Can you understand your own emotions as well as the emotions and feelings of other people?
A highly self-confident person does not run away from the things they fear. Instead, they enter the heart of their fears and become stronger.
The Highest Level of Self-Confidence
The highest level of self-confidence is trust and faith in God.
It is the powerful belief that God supports you, that you can enter any field, and that God will help you.
A highly self-confident person believes that God loves them exactly as they are, with all their weaknesses.
An Important Exercise and Step for Increasing Self-Confidence
What decision have you wanted to make for a long time but still have not taken?
You know you should do it, but you have not done it.
It might be exercising or waking up early in the morning. You know it will help you progress, but you have still postponed it.
Write it down.
Start with small decisions and write down what happened when you finally took action.
What results did it create in your life, your feelings, and your self-confidence?
How much did it improve your life?
How much energy did you save?
The results are much greater than we think.
This is one of the differences between successful and unsuccessful people.
Every time you make a decision and take action, you become stronger in decision-making, taking action, and avoiding procrastination.
My cousin had very good financial circumstances and was single. He is now nearly 50 years old and has wanted to migrate for many years, but he never implemented his decision.
I wanted to migrate, so without having all the conditions prepared, I took my 13-year-old daughter’s hand, resigned from my job, and bravely migrated to an unknown country.
And the results this created in my life are indescribable.
I do not wait for the right conditions; I create the conditions.
After that, I was able to make and implement many more decisions—decisions that perhaps only one percent of people in the world would have the courage to make.
This is despite the fact that I grew up in a family where even my father did not have the courage to move from a village to a city.
I migrated from a small city to a developed country that I had never seen before—the beautiful country of Malaysia.
And I created an incredible level of self-confidence for myself.
