THE MANTRA OF SUCCESS: SELF-CONFIDENCE


All of us want to be successful in life. However, only some among us are able to relish the sweet fruits of success. Why it is that success eludes some of us? The answer to this lies in the fact that most of us are not able to utilize the potential strength in us. We can realize our strength only if we have the right attitude, positive thinking and firm faith in ourselves. For being successful, we need to have confidence in ourselves. The very first step in climbing the ladder of self-confidence is firm conviction about one’s own ability. People who underestimate themselves do not accept challenges and responsibilities and thus lose wonderful opportunities in life. We should not doubt our inner strength and have a positive attitude. Failures should not deter us for they are the beauty of life.

The next step to develop self-confidence is perseverance. As Thomas Elva Edison says, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration”.
One must possess tremendous will power and self-respect to succeed.
Finally a definite goal and one-pointed concentration help us to manifest tremendous confidence. As Swami Vivekananda said, “Take up one idea, make that idea your life; think of it, a dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea alone. This is the way to success.”

Self-trust is the first secret of success.
