People with confidence tend to always stand out. They have an undeniable presence that attracts others to them. However, confidence isn’t about ego; it’s about being comfortable in your own skin.
Confidence comes from within unlike ego from the outside. However, it displays itself on the outside to attract others. It draws people in but should be noted that people with confidence do not require the attention. Other people feel comfortable around people with confidence and not coming from ego. While there are many positive traits that can be said for confident people there are also things they never do. Below are things confident people never do. If you are one that experiencing consistent fear or self-limiting beliefs, please take note below as this will help you make subtle changes to live with confidence.
1. Never require approval from others
They go where they want when they want. They wear what they want and make decisions based on what they want, not what others want or suggest might be good for them.
2. Never see a issue as a challenge but as an opportunity
As the old saying goes, “If there’s a will, there’s a way.” Maybe they’ll fail, but confident people always give it their best shot.
3. Never have to downplay others to lift themselves up
They have no desire to prove they’re better than others. Passing judgment on others is certainly never on the to-do lists of really confident people.
4. Never make excuses
Confident people simply find a way to get it done.
5. Never procrastinate
If you’re not going to take care of something right away, then when? As a wise and confident person once said, “Yesterday’s history, tomorrow’s a mystery; today is all we have.”
6. Never become complacent or stay in their comfort zone
Confident people like to push their boundaries and try something new. People need to grow and progress in all walks of life, and confident people know this all too well.
7. Never let negativity from others affect them
Confident people don’t dwell on the negative comments of others and often are quick to find the bright side of a situation. They’re confident in their belief in themselves and that they have surrounded themselves with people who care and believe in them.
8. Never are people pleasers
Confident people know that not everyone is going to get along, and that’s okay; it’s just part of life. If you’re comfortable within yourself, then there’s no need to prove it to others or to try hard to make them like you.
9. Never allow others to consume their energy and overstep their boundaries
Confident people are respectful of others, but won’t be controlled or manipulated by others.
10. Never second-guess their decisions
They weigh the options, make a decision and proceed with confidence.
11. Never fear failure
If they make a mistake, they own it, knowing that with each failure comes an opportunity to learn. Most of all, they believe in their own ability to achieve.
12. Never miss a chance to empower others
A person who is confident empowers others and helps them find their confidence.
Confident people have the freedom to always unapologetically be themselves. Confidence is the most powerful trait that anyone can possess, and if you have it, it will carry you through all areas of life. And once you gain confidence, it’s almost impossible to lose it.
To your health & prosperity,
