How To Become A Successful Confident Person
There were a range of things which impacted upon my overall self-confidence and self-esteem levels as I grew from being a young child to a man. These included:
A bald patch on my head
A speech impediment known as a stutter
A weight problem, I was basically too fat
I am rather vertically challenged at only 5ft 4
Certain people I met would be quite nasty and would try to make fun of me. They would succeed as I would be very hurt from their comments, even though I tried to never show it. Life at times was quite tough especially where I worked at the company offering a Medical negligence claims service.
These people were making my life a misery and by the age of twenty-two I had had enough. I decided I needed a big change in attitude and started to read books about life and about positive thinking etc.
These were the things I had to take on board:
It is not important what other people think of you, it is what you think that counts
It is time to start respecting and liking yourself
There are various things about your person, you do not like but which you can not change. You therefore have to start accepting these things and realising that maybe there are other people in life who are more unfortunate than you.
Start respecting life and yourself
Do not accept second best in life
Be happy
I tried hard to implement this advice and even though it was not easy to change, I knew I had to. I basically live life to the full now and try not to worry about anything trivial. I have also managed to eradicate the stuttering problem.
I have now become a successful external doors salesman and my life is now much happier overall.
