WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE a great deal of confidence, it’s hard to advance in your life. Self-confidence and self-esteem are the two most important aspects of your life, because these dictate your level of happiness. If you fear interactions with people and this holds you back, you have come to the right place. This book was written with you in mind because people need to be able to hold their own in a competitive world such as that which we live in. I was once where you are and I know what it’s like to doubt your every move, to feel very little self-love and to try to keep up with what’s happening in your life. It’s really hard to overcome these internal pressures to keep up with external pressures, but it can be done and you may be surprised at the difference it makes to your life.
You see, the main thing is that it isn’t about the world around you. It’s about you. It starts inside you and that’s the part that you need to work on. This book shows you how. All of the wishes and dreams that you hold dear are obtainable. All you need to do is focus upon who you are, how the world sees you and how you see yourself. Once you do, you will never doubt yourself again. The formation of character starts with learning how to interact with the world around you. As a child, you are taught to interact with other children and to share things with them. Unfortunately, as you get older, the competition ups the ante because you are also influenced by what society sees as “norms.” In fact, if advertising was accurate, the world would be filled with confident people who all had perfect figures, but that’s really not what it’s all about. It’s not about how rich you are or how many examinations you have passed. The only clue I will give you at this stage is that your reality begins and ends with the way that you see the world.
Stop being blinkered and holding yourself back. Stop being afraid of life, because you only get one chance at it. Over the chapters that lie ahead, we will discuss ways that you can gain confidence, how you gained it when you were a child and how you can carry on gaining confidence, so that you don’t have to live in the shadows any more. There’s no need to fear the future. There’s no need to fear your interactions with the world around you. Once you can overcome that fear and find your own comfortable place to be, you will really shine and that’s the intention of this book. There are so many competitive people out there that the shy are left behind these days and this book helps to even up the score, showing people with natural shyness how to gain confidence and interact with others in a way that they have always wanted to. Communication is key, but more important than that is attitude toward self and the way that you see your life. This book helps you to see it from the right perspective, so that you are no longer held back because of lack of confidence.
