How to practically become self-confident?

When a criminal commits a crime for the first time, his hands tremble at least once. After committing any crime a couple of times, he gets used to it and if he continues to commit crimes continuously for several years like this, then a belief starts to arise within he that committing a crime is a normal thing and then gradually he starts to encourage the crime. This is a scientifically proven example of the negative power of faith. This means there is so much power in faith that a person starts to believe in lies as if they are true. After a few days, he starts praising himself. 


Now let's see a real-life example of the positive power of faith. A friend of mine used to get poor marks in exams until the 10th standard. Each time he was passed only by some margins. Due to poor results in the 10th standard and also for some personal reasons, he was going through depression for some time. To come out of this state of depression, he started reading books on self-development. 

After reading some such books, within a few days, a great change took place in his thought process. He started believing that if everyone else can get good marks, then I can get it too. And having forgotten everything else, he started studying diligently. After this, when the higher secondary exam was held, he came first in his department in our school. After knowing his result, everyone was asking the same question, “How? How is this possible?" 

The answer is, it is possible by using the positive power of faith. Faith is the head chemist of our brain. It does not make any difference between constructive and destructive thoughts. Faith is based on the thoughts that we keep sending into our brains continuously. The food of faith is knowledge and experience. The more these two grow about something, the stronger the faith becomes about that thing. And this is the reason why some people believe in God and some do not. 


Similarly, some people believe in ghosts and some do not. It depends on a person's personal experiences in life. Sometimes faith also works as self-confidence. The most important factor that makes one successful in any work is self-confidence. 

Amitabh Bachchan had once faced rejection from All India Radio at the very beginning of his career because of his unfamiliar voice. Now imagine had he not been confident about his voice and had he decided to modify his voice, we may never have seen him as the Big today who is especially known for his unique voice. 

Finally, if you want to start doing any work or pursue something from your heart, but still are not able to do it only because of a lack of faith and self-confidence, then you just have to follow these three simple steps: 

First step: 

First of all start with smaller steps. In the very beginning, if you jump to work at large levels, then the possibilities of failure will increase even more. And if you fail in something, in the beginning, then instead of positive faith, negative faith will get stored, which will also reduce self-confidence. That is why one should take small steps at the very beginning so that success can be easily achieved and positive faith can be stored from the very beginning.

 Now the second step: 

Now you have to start gaining knowledge. Along with it, positive thoughts will also have to be supplied into the brain about that work again and again. If you persistently continue in it for a few more days, then these thoughts will slowly start entering your subconscious mind. Because the subconscious mind is the main production house of positive field and self-confidence. 

Now the last step: 

Now to strengthen faith, one needs to gain experience. The more positive experience you gain at any work, the stronger the faith will become. As a result, self-confidence will also continue to grow higher than before. 

So if you are preventing yourself from doing any good work due to a lack of faith or self-confidence, then my message to you is that - start doing that work by taking little steps from today onwards. 

The more your knowledge and experience will grow with time, the more your faith and self-confidence will grow in you. I have collected this solution from chapters 3 and 4 of the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Next time we will meet again with a new useful topic.
