Confidence is a state of mind, which means that we can all become confident if we want to. One of the keys to achieve a healthy level of self-confidence is through having a high regard for yourself or by having high self-esteem. In order to have high self-esteem, you need to recognize your strengths or things which you are good at. Here are some things you can do to become more confident through acknowledging your strengths.

1. You need to understand that all people, including yourself, are unique and have distinct qualities and talents which make you special. To recognize these talents or strengths, you would need to evaluate yourself. Think about the things that you are good at, regardless of how simple or complex of that thing or activity is. You can also ask a close relative or friend to tell you your strengths from a third person's perspective.

2. Once you discover your strengths, you should be able to become more confident in what you can do. You can even try to develop the skills that you have to excel even more or improve those which you are not very good at.

3. You should also keep in mind that you should never be too hard on yourself. Practice patting yourself in the back and rewarding yourself every time you are able to do something new or achieve something that you have been trying to accomplish for a long time.

4. Avoid striving to be someone you are not. Once you know what you are good at, try to become even better at it, instead of pretending to be good at something else or trying to transform yourself into an entirely different person.

5. Be graceful in accepting compliments, without being too arrogant or full of yourself. Say thank you if somebody acknowledges your skills and say something positive in return.

6. Lastly, use your strengths and your confidence to deal with the challenges that you come across and to ultimately, achieve more in life.
