How Increased Confidence Can Help You Get What You Want

 

Do you know that increased confidence can no doubt give you the utmost opportunity to achieve anything in life? And one important thing to take note of is how to exhibit that confidence when you need it most to achieve your goals in life.

This might sound like the cheesy kind of advice your parents might have given to you and you might even be thinking how possible is it that only confidence can do that much. In this post, I want to let you know it’s really true especially when you truly are yourself and behave confidently.

There are so many ways you can exhibit confidence behavior, such as, if you want to get a date, succeed in your career, want to engage in any business adventure, or need to take any aspect of your life to the next level, then boosting your confidence is one of the best ways to accomplish that.

Here’s the reason why…

What Confidence Really Means

If you have ever met a male or a woman counterpart and he/she just seems to have everything under control, then you might have noticed that they no doubt are usually very confident in what they do. The truth is that the whole reason they appear so successful is that they have taken their confidence level to the extreme. And this will ultimately help them to achieve virtually everything they put their minds to achieving. That’s because confidence sends a powerful signal – it says ‘I consider myself to be a catch and I can do everything’.

Speaking in evolutionary terms, confidence suggests that you are a good potential mate or a superior competitor. Even if you look short, poorly dressed, and unappealing –once you have increased confidence then it will seem as though they are more  knowledgeable than they are and can do everything  you can’t seem to be doing. The assumption is that they must have a reason to be that confident.

And thus we instantly assume that once someone is confident, this person can somehow be our superior: and we must try to be more like them. That’s why we gravitate toward confident people, want to be associated with them or date them and perhaps even want to be liked by them.

To a lot of people having too much confidence is not good as it can lead to unnecessary trouble by calling yourself what you are not or by doing what you are not capable of doing, such people only think that it is just enough to be nice. They assume that by acting nice, they will get people to like them and they can that way overcome their looks, their stature, or their status. And people can like them by being reasonable and cool!

But if you don’t have any self-confidence and you act very nice, then this can actually backfire: it starts to seem as though you want something and that you are being a creep into it.

Conversely, if you act a little less needy, if you can show yourself to be highly capable and impressive, then you can chat with someone in a friendly and open manner. By so doing, then people will be won over by your charm and your appeal. This niceness seems much more genuine because you appear like you don’t need help from everyone.

So guys let me tell you this to your face; stop trying to win the girl by being nice. She will only take you as a member of the pack and not be special. Every woman needs someone to be with them but your demeaning behavior at times may put them off from you. However, when you behave confidently you will be taken seriously and this can help you get what you want without ben let off.

And if you are an employee, stop trying to get the job by being self-deprecating. Try as much as possible to show you are confident in what you have to deliver and know better that the rest

Act like you know your worth and then lay niceness on top of that. That is the winning combination you need to get things done in a way that will favor you!

How To Discover Your Passion For Successful Career Adventure

How To Discover Your Passion For a Successful Career Adventure

Having a better understanding of what your passion, interest, likes, dislikes, capabilities, strengths and weaknesses are, is the right step in the right direction for an eventful career adventure. Then, if I may ask you, what are you passionate about? I didn’t ask if you are passionate. 

But what are you passionate about? What stirs your emotions? What is it you can’t stop talking about whenever someone asks: “What are you passionate about?”  What’s the fire in your belly? What really turns you on? What do you love doing most?

What is it that you love doing so much that you forget time? You forget others. You are so focused that you don’t hear anything. What is it that gets your creative juices going? What is it that you love more than anything else?

Some people are known to be passionate about books. They love reading them. And hence, those books are all placed in their respective homes on the shelves. Each of the books has a neighbor. These people fondle them and care for them. Place bookmarks in them and never fold the corner of their pages.

People like Florence Nightingale, Michael Jordan, and a host of other notable people have used their passion to benefit the world at large to the extent that even after they have stopped what they are passionate about people should not forget their contribution to mankind generally.  What about you? What is the deep-down passion that lights your life up? What is it that you love doing and being beyond all else?

Go on, you can tell yourself. There is no need to tell others. Just have a go and tell yourself what your passions are and discern what you can gain from doing such. What is that love that stirs you up - that love that others may not be interested in but is so important to you. What is it that makes you forget time? What is it that you love doing? We all have it. We all have at least one thing that we are passionate about. What’s yours?

The bottom line is; passion is motivating. Passion is more motivating than money.

Passion energizes and transforms you. When you are passionate about something then you enter that ‘flow’ state where time stands still. You are so focused. And, you are really in tune with yourself to get things done to the best of your knowledge.

Go on and try it. And GET IT DONE!!!

I wish you Good Luck.

Be Optimistic About Your Career Growth

Be Optimistic About Your Career Growth

Doing away with self-limiting beliefs is an impetus that can drive you to positive career growth.  What also helps in the growth of our career? This is another question that needs to be answered to get a clue of what this write-up is all about. 

Do I hear you say, a good plan, is the ability to do the job effectively, improving the existing methods, increasing the efficiency, increasing the returns, and performing the job to satisfaction?  What else? Please, don’t forget that the title of this article talks of optimism. What about that?

What is optimism? Optimism means feeling that things will turn out Okay for you as you go about your daily activities. Not to look at every situation negatively, but to hope for the best. Keep your hope high and feel good that somehow everything will be all right. If you have optimism in your dictionary, there is no doubt that you will put your head above the water in whatever challenges that come your way.

When you want to grow in your career, this optimism helps quite a lot. During our careers, we come to many stops where the situation looks bleak. Everything looks gloomy. One feels like giving up. All of us begin with great energy and hope. As we encounter obstacles, our energy gets depleted and our hopes turn sour. We slowly start going downhill and a time comes when we are left with nothing but hopelessness.

An optimistic outlook helps during such times. In every situation, we have two choices- hope for the best or worry about the worst. Can worrying help? Thinking of what can go wrong will only further deplete our strength and outlook. Positive thoughts will at least give us hope to fight. Optimism is a great asset. Those who feel optimistic at the worst of times, still have a chance of coming back. Please bring optimism at every moment of your life, especially into your career decision-making process and adventure. The farther you go, the more optimistic you are, and the more you stand to achieve in life.

DON’T GIVE UP, but try to turn your adversities into opportunities. Then you stand to get to your dreams, whatever it takes to do so. Don't look back, only keep focus of where you're going and you shall surely get there.
