The thing is, we are fully responsible for the state of self confidence we presently have. We were given all the artillery to face what lies in our grounds, we were given the people to which we may anchor our faith, we were given enough skills and attributes to help us brave the challenges of growth. 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. One such skill is the ability to face challenges and to face them with faith, both in ourselves and to Him who has created all of us. All of us had an equal chance to develop our sense of self, even when it feels like our fellow is much blessed than us. We normally have the common notion that life is unfair when in fact, it is not. Now, if we would only realize the eagle that is sleeping within us then we could have all lived a life of happiness and contentment. We were all born entitled with achievements and successes. The Universe is too good for us that she took time to secure everything that we would need to soar. Don't waste this very opportunity by putting loads in your back so you would be delimited and thus, incapable of flying. And this very uniqueness can directly affect how self confident we are, from childhood to grave. Raising children is not enough. Parents must be careful not to affect their children's sense of self in any negative way possible. Every experience he has encountered in his childhood that would be detrimental to his self confidence must be avoided because in the end, it is not only the child who would suffer, the parent would suffer with him. Then, we live on the frustrations that invisibility has caused us. We know that our talents must be recognized. We know that our works should be given proper value. But everyone fails to see how well we are doing, we tend to give up things and let our passion die with them. We only need recognition from others before we totally recognize ourselves.
