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.
