In a world like this, you truely have a valuable asset if you know ways to build self confidence.
Self confidence should be built for many reasons. A few most important reasons are stated in this post.
Lets you come out of your shell
A little self esteem boost cannot be a bad thing for anyone. When you have self confidence in yourself, you can come out of the shadows begin to make a difference in the environment around you. You feel stronger and more in control of you life and how events shape around you. This is very important for a happy life.. Someone who is afraid of meeting challenges in life will always be miserable even if they have a LOT to be thankful for.
Lets you grab opportunities
Being low on self confidence will force your hand to turn away from the best of opportunities that life presents to you. I cannot even count the number of times I have seen this happen in my lifetime and I am just in my early twenties! The number one reason why this happens is because you are uncertain of your ability to make the opportunity work in your favor. They have doubts about them selves as to whether they have what it takes to exploit the opportunity or not. Also, there is a fear present that they could actually end up losing what they have if they go for the opportunity and dont get successful at it.. They eventually settle for what they already have in life even if its very little and makes them miserable.
These two reasons are probably the most important why you should really looking into building self confidence. Many other sub causes branch out from these two reasons as to why you should build self confidence.
