#1. Conquer Your Past

Often our insecurities and anxiety come from not where we are now but what we've been through before.
We think what we went through is something we deserve or it defines us what we are today.
Confident people don't let their past live there as it is. They try to make sense of it and choose their learnings.

Each and everyone has a genius and potential but we have to turn that potential into expertise by practice.
Focus on Learning and mastery

#3. Constantly Learn

Constant learning can give you a sense of achievement, a sense of momentum, a sense of drive, and a feeling that you are moving forward and toward something.
You'll have something to share in every conversation.
Confidence comes from the ability to engage in a conversation and the feeling that you are moving forward.

#4. Compassion

When you are compassionate towards yourself, you are giving yourself a break for not knowing everything or getting right all the time.
It's not about being perfect, Confidence shows that you are okay with being wrong, okay with not knowing, and okay with desiring to learn and research so you can expand your skills.

#5. Calm Responses

Confidence doesn't come from Reacting fast but from Responding slowly.
Sometimes the person who speaks the least, their opinion matters the most. Because they are not saying a lot but they are listening, processing, and then responding.
And that's why when they speak, people listen.

#6. Certainity

A lot of time we don't feel confident because we are constantly seeking Validation from others.
We always ask ourselves, what will people say, how will they react, and what will they think about what I feel.
And the challenge is that we've been trained to ask everyone about everything.
It's important to know ourselves and ask ourselves what would I like to do.
Certainty + Awareness around our likes and dislikes, what we feel works for us, and what doesn't. That builds a sense of confidence.

#7. Competent Preparations

Confident people are confident because they are competently prepared.
If you are confident it's not just your sense of self-belief, it's not just because you act it. It's because you've Practiced + Prepared + Worked.
