How do you define self confidence? Dictionary.com says “realistic confidence in one’s own judgment, ability, power, etcâ€, but then defines confidence as “full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing.†And “belief in oneself and one’s powers or abilities†The word confidence originates from the Latin “confidereâ€, meaning to trust. Trusting and believing in ourselves in whatever situation we need to perform.
What you cannot do is buy self confidence - you cannot get it off the shelf in a supermarket. Advertisers make us believe that confidence comes built in with their products, be it toothpaste or a new diet. To build self confidence you have to do a bit of work - although it should be enjoyable.
