How many times have you experienced a feeling of joy today? Strange question, isn't it? Although if you ask you how many times and what you were worried about, then, most likely, there will be no problems with the answer. This is understandable, in us nature is inherent in anxiety and caution, at the dawn of mankind, these feelings helped our ancestors to survive. But times have changed long ago, but worry is still used by people more often than joy.
And it’s not that someone likes to worry, of course it’s not. In my opinion, it is easier to rejoice at something for a person who is confident in himself. Moreover, this is confidence based on his inner sense of self-acceptance, self-knowledge. It often happens that a person's confidence is based on external manifestations. Work, business, in other words, has material expression. But, as recent events have shown, this is all good, of course, but it can collapse overnight. And where, then, can we get this confidence?
We are accustomed to the fact that the world that surrounds us is stable, and naturally people were striving for just such stability. It was on this that many built their confidence in themselves, their strengths and capabilities. However, the world is changing, and whether we like it or not, we will have to change with it. And in such conditions, confidence is not only needed, it is necessary for a person.
Self-confidence is primarily an internal state and the basis for it within us. When a person has such inner confidence, it is immediately noticeable by the way he speaks, walks, does something. Others are attracted to such people, it is pleasant and simple to communicate with them, while such people do not need to prove that they are confident in themselves, it is felt that way.
This very state of self-confidence appears when a person has contact with himself, when he realizes what exactly he wants and what he does not want. And here it is important to understand that for all the individuality, confidence is not about the fact that you can not recognize the laws of morality and society, it is about how to learn to accept them without prejudice to yourself.
Confidence is a kind of emotional energy that allows a person to live in accordance with their aspirations and values. After all, it is our values (not money and diamonds) that attract us through life, make us do certain things. Set goals, achieve results. Values and their significance for a person are largely determined by his self-confidence.
Try to honestly deal with your values, without lofty words and generally accepted cliches. Check them for sincerity, often the basis of inner confidence is precisely how our values are real for ourselves, and not invented or borrowed.
Live with joy! Anton Chernykh.
