Motivation Tips

Being Confident Is Not About Being Perfect
By:Alexandra Burlacu

Self-confidence is a proactive approach helping individuals face up bravely all life's challenges and admit any eventual failure. It is understood that confidence improves our ability to solve problems since we focus exclusively on our goals without spending time and energy on negative thoughts and beliefs. Self-confidence acts dynamically simply because we feel motivated to accomplish our expectations and therefore we proceed further.

Confidence is also taken for a positive, serene lifestyle meaning that we choose to deal similarly with pleasant and unpleasant events. The ways we approach unhappy experience definitely make a difference since we are brave enough to admit both failure and success. Thus, confidence is not 100% success or 100% perfection, its percentage covers all aspects of life, the key is to keep a constant level of self-esteem. Many individuals strive to reach perfection in order to become more confident. This belief is confusing and implicitly misleading simply because human nature has not established a specific perfection scale. Moreover, perfection is unlimited concept as any person can assign his own meaning to this notion and a common acceptance of this term could not be developed.

Being perfect might have an endless understanding, yet, no endeavors should be engaged by perfection standards because we have major chances not to reach such standards. Thus, we might attain a negative feedback each tine we will reassess our actions. It is worth pointing out that those who strive to reach perfection assign higher value to others' opinion than to their own beliefs. Therefore, so-called perfection is based upon "borrowed" standards.

Confidence relies on personal values and beliefs and might be defined as a state of self-acceptance of all our actions, good or bad.
