FEEL THE FEAR AND BE CONFIDENT ANYWAY


It is my wish that every girl will become more confident in herself. A confident girl is comfortable with who she is and is unafraid of how others may perceive her. The tools below will help improve a girl’s confidence.

Face Your Fears
Everyone has fears but fears should not stop a girl from stepping out and doing what she wants to do. There is a saying, “Feel the fear and do it anyway”. Most fears are just our imagination playing tricks on us. You will be surprised at what you can do when you step out and face your fears. Ada faced her fears. She was scared of singing in public, even though she had a great voice. Then one day she faced her fears and sang in her school concert. She blew the crowd away and actually enjoyed being on stage. Now she sings professionally. Can you imagine how miserable Ada would have been if she had not faced her fears? She would have also missed opportunities that will move her forward in life.

Know What Is Important
At some point in your life you have to know what is important and what is not. Too many girls focus on day to day drama. When you go through life knowing what you want to achieve, it will make you become more focused and more confident. Keno was sick of the drama. She was just having one problem after the other with a group of friends. So she decided to take a break away and focus on her studies because she was in her final year of university. Thankfully for her she came out with 2nd class honours.

Prepare For Success
Failing to plan is planning to fail and the same can be said for preparation. If you have a task to do then just do it. When you have prepared and done your best then you can relax and wait for the fruit of your labour. Emua knew about this. She had been preparing for a while to get into an Engineering firm. She sent off her CV to several firms and practiced her interviews techniques with a mentor. She suddenly got a line up of interviews and was offered a job at the company of her choice. You can imagine how this helped her confidence. She knew hence forth that if she put her mind towards anything and preparing, she could achieve great success.

Mistakes Dont Kill

Don’t take mistakes as failures and don’t allow them to knock your confidence. See them as lessons learned. When you learn the lessons, note it in your memory so that you don’t make the same mistake again. And even if you do it is not the end of the world. Bisola made of few mistakes with her career. First she wanted to study medicine, then half way through she changed her mind to study nursing but then she finally decided to study psychology. She did make a few mistakes of chopping and changing courses but it was not the end of the world. She finished with psychology and is training to be a life coach.
