How To Gain Confidence - The Myth Of Overnight Transformation

We live in a society where we expect everything immediately

. Because of technology, we have been able to speed up lots of things that used to take much much longer. For instance, food preparation, product manufacture. Computers have meant that we can get information instantly, that might have taken months in days gone by.

The problem is that we have come to expect instant results in everything we do. Spurred on by commercials that promise overnight results. Websites that promise you'll be rich / thin / beautiful overnight if you just buy their product.

Many of us have got sucked in by the hype. We believe that you can get rich overnight. That you can lose weight very quickly. That you can make huge changes in your life in an instant. In fact we get annoyed or turned off by anything that doesn't promise instant results. If it's not going to give us what we want straight away, why would we bother with it?

Now, I'm not denying that people can make huge breakthroughs in their life in a short time. A key realization can change your thinking forever. But true change, that affects "who you are" usually takes much much longer. The fact is many people end up disillusioned and disappointed when they can't get the results they want in a few days.

"Why can't I change my years of low confidence overnight? The man in the commercial said he did!"

The sad thing is that they give up. They assume that everyone else is getting the results they want immediately and so there must be something wrong with them. Giving up on improving yourself is one of the tragedies of modern life.

Remember, worthwhile change almost always takes time. Worthwhile change is made up of small improvements that take place every day. That's how it's always been done. And that's how it's always going to be done. You can fast forward personal growth. If you want to develop something in your life you need to commit to this fact. And enjoy it. Getting better is a journey, not a destination. And it should be fun. You should enjoy and celebrate every step of the way. When you think of as it fun and enjoyable, then why would you want to get it over with overnight? You want to live the rest of your life improving. And then you want to help other people improve in their confidence. Remember, you have to become the kind of person who would be successful before you become successful.

If you want to have improved confidence, you need to make small changes in your thinking over a long period of time, for it to sink in. Most people fail at changing their confidence because they didn't have a workable plan. A workable plan means one that you can apply day in and day out to make the changes. And again, you need to enjoy gaining confidence.

But the biggest problem with changing confidence is giving up because you expect an overnight transformation. Have patience. It's the things that you work for over time that you appreciate the most.
