Self Belief

"Conviction":"Self Belief", In Life, this one word allows one to raise his or her head in any circumstances and justify his or her own standing, irrespective of a huge crowd standing against the decision taken by him or her.
To grow in life, one needs to believe in his abilities. Understand "What are your limitations", "What do you lack", "What are your plus points", "What are you good at" and always base your decisions depending and relying on your plus points & good abilities. Once you take a decision in this fashion, you can justify the same against any odds.
In this fashion, you can go really a long way & make an impact. Once you do something good, you leave a footprint. It becomes your trademark. It becomes a quality in you to succeed. There are chances that you may fail, but don't take failures to your heart. Keep on working on your positives to grow in self belief to be more successful. Always remember, Steffi Graf played most of her tennis with fore hand shots, the rear hand shots is the real chink in her armour & every opponent despite good knowledge of same can not over shadow her with ease. So, she succeeded with her pluses and left quite a few pages of history devoted to her. Similarly, Sourav Ganguly plays most of his shots on ON side, every one knows it, but still after making many good strategies by every opposition, no one is able to write him down for long. So, he is still going strong just because he keeps on working on his plus points.
So, talk about what you know best, walk the path you are accustomed with, do the work in the way you believe in. Its the ultimate result which matters & not the way the same is achieved, most of the time.
Recently, I got to know the difference between "Confidence" and "Overconfidence". In reality, most of the times, it has nothing to do with the person in question, or his abilities, or his decisions, or the way the work is accomplished, its the result of the work which makes the ultimate difference. If, one succeeds, its called his confidence & if one fails with same set of parameters, its called his over-confidence. So, always look to reach the destination safe n sound and on time to be called a successful person and to make it happen, do depend on your plus points, your self belief.
You must have heard, the face tells ALL. And the eyes, are the most expressive point on your face. Try to control your eye expression. If, a person blinks too much, it shows his or her lack of confidence. such a person can not take a single decision on his/her own. Its the lack of self belief in his/her abilities, which reflects in his/her disability to focus for a longer duration of time at any object. So, the eyes blinks too frequently. One of the best ways to start with is to practice a simple routine known as "Hatth-Yoga". Just sit across a wall, almost four or five feet away. At the eye level, on the wall, make a small dark black circle, may be 2mm in diameter. Start concentrating on the circle, without blinking an eye. Again, again, again.....Keep on doing the same routine to always increase the duration between the eye-blinks. This way, you are conditioning yourself to suffer pain, to hold your nerves in difficult situation, to have a good control over your senses. So, your concentration level increases & your confidence will start increase with time as you practice harder & longer.
Do it, it will HELP......have self belief..be successfull...enjoy!!!
