If You Don't Believe In Yourself

So people do not believe in you?Does it make you feel so down and out?Well,have you looked inward to see if you believe in yourself?
You can't get people to believe in you when you don't believe in yourself.Picture yourself as a commodity.Whatsoever price you place on yourself is what people will pay for.
If you price yourself high,people will pay high for you,if you price yourself low,people will price you low.You may be a good worker who puts in his all into his work,
but don't get important assignments entrusted to you.The problem is simply because you make people lack the trust that will make them assign important tasks to you.
When i was younger,i had this same problem.I lacked complete trust in myself and my capabilities.As a result,i became withdrawn and inferiority complex set in.
I would know something but not believing i know it will refuse to speak out.People never bothered asking me things because they felt i wouldn't know.
But when i started believing in myself,people saw it and started believing in me.Now i am always contacted by the same people who felt i
didn't know for solutions to problems they're facing.The key was so simple that it eluded me.The key was believing in myself and trusting my ability.
Not believing in yourself is more destructive than people talking bad about you because here,people actually see,they need not be told.Why else do you think alot of
writers have put down lines upon lines on this topic?They know the importance of self confidence,believing in ones self.Lack of self confidence can lead to;
1. People not believing in you
2. Achieving little in life
3. Failing even in relationships
This is just to mention a few.The importance and benefits of believing in oneself can indeed never be overemphasized.
Believe in yourself so others will believe in you.
If you have any question,have something to add or think this artiicle has helped you in any way,
feel free to drop a comment.You can even give us personal accounts of yourself where this has been applicable.

  2. I'm sorry this response is coming quite late,i've been away for a very long time,i'm back though.As for the steps to take to believe in yourself,i'd say different people will come up with different opinion.But,for me,here's how i started believing in myself.First,i started reading books and thus became very knowledgeable.I also started telling myself i was very bright,i figured out my talents and started using them.People will regard you the way you regard yourself.I took myself to be bright,intelligent and a leader,before long,people took me for exactly those.I hope this helps!
