Nothing should stop your from living your life, not even the miserable demons of low self confidence. Those who braved life are those who are confident enough of themselves. Sometimes, we just have to take risks so that we might discover what lies in our road. Taking risks though requires lots of faith in yourself. You see, on our initial tries it is not bad if we would set achievable goals rather than confidence boosting-unrealistic goals that would leave us dismayed. When you really need to feel good about yourself, remember that self confidence is largely controlled by the hormonal balance in our body. Thus, you can alter your mood by stimulating yourself to do so. Many of us may not have enough of the self confidence that we can boast to our children but we can always take advantage of the chances that were given to us to let our children boast of the confidence that we have given them. Wont you get proud if you succeed in this aspect of parenthood? Think of this as an exchange of benefits. Yet it is also when our minds are most susceptible to damages of negative inputs. What we experienced during childhood will be carried over through the rest of our lives. Though the effects vary largely, at times these may be subtly felt and at times, we feel like our reactions to stimuli are commanded by our perception of things. With acceptance comes the initial cure over low self confidence. After knowing your stock, the second thing you may do is to appreciate and give proper value on all your attributes. Remember that each of us is a unique being which is perfectly fit to for uniqueness. We only have to be careful of identifying our unique spots and in the process, help them shine from us. It all lies on our perception of our selves, our understanding of possibilities and our capability to put our understanding and perception to good use. Like being rich, we think that self confidence is something that all others have except us. You see, life was created equal and it is meant to be equal.
