Develop Jedi Self-Confidence: Unleash the Force within You |
How does one get a high
self-confidence like a Jedi Knight? Have you ever criticized, even cursed
yourself for doing something wrong? Have you tried torturing yourself by doing
a monologue of how silly and stupid you are, and how useless you are to
society? If you have been doing this on
a regular basis, then you may have a low self-confidence. After all, you would
not find a Star Wars Jedi warrior going through a self-confidence crisis.
A Jedi with self-confidence
has a good all-round overall image or value of themselves. It is how you look
at yourself when you look in the mirror that matters. If you look in the mirror
and you see a loser who can do nothing more than commit mistakes, then you may
have a very low self-image. So get working on that Jedi-like self-confidence.
A Jedi’s self-confidence
does not come from out of the blue. It is not something we are born with,
although it is partly determined by the circumstances into which we were born.
It is not manna from heaven and it cannot be bought by money.
Low
self-confidence can be self-destructive, and it often manifests itself as
negativity. Self-confident people are generally more positive – they believe in
themselves and their abilities, and they also believe in living life to the
full, just as a Jedi would.
Develop Jedi
Self-Confidence
So how do you
build this sense of balanced self-confidence, founded on a firm appreciation of
reality? Well the bad news is
that there’s no quick fix, or 5-minute solution.
The good news is
that building self-confidence is readily achievable, just as long as you have
the focus and determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is
that the things you’ll do to build self-confidence will also build success –
after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No-one can
take this away from you!
Plan of action
Look for a model (someone who has self-confidence like a
Jedi) and learn from them. What is it they do that makes them confident, how do
they act?
Focus on your achievements rather than your failures. If you
do find yourself thinking about how you failed then look at what you managed to
do right and how you could correct what you did next time.
Work on any skills you need to do what you want, you can
never be over trained or over skilled for any challenge in life.
Do not be too competitive or compare yourself with others.
Be yourself and accept that life is not a race against others but your self-confidence
depends on you and your personal needs.
