Self confidence: A True insight


Self confident

Doing what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.
Not confident

Governing your behavior based on what other people think.
Self confident

Being willing to take risks and go the extra mile to achieve better things.
Not confident

Staying in your comfort zone, fearing failure and so avoid taking risks.
Self confident

Admitting your mistakes and vowing to learn from them.
Not confident

Working hard to cover up mistakes and praying that you can fix the problem before anyone is the wiser.
Self confident

Accepting compliments graciously. “Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospectus. I’m pleased you recognize my efforts.


Being self confident I must admit is one of the hardest things I find to do- I'm going to work on it in every possible way - And some of the above are the starting point - I have found that it is a trait that can begin with simple entities and soon become overpowering - Most importantly it effects everything you do- i'e You can be very smart and know what to do in a situation but feeling that 'you can't do it' , 'you are afraid of ruining it' are the keys to opening the low self confidence door - Of course if you are not self confident in the way you feel about yourself whether its personality or beauty then this will effect your state of mind and level of happiness.

There are so many books out there, people that talk about it and magazine right, left and centre


How many times have you heard the phrase

BOOST YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE BY LOSING WEIGHT!


My opinion is self confidence is from within and yes even though certain things I mentioned can help you - it really takes your own inner willpower and a great challenge of self change in terms of how you think, percieve and see yourself and your abilities and capabalities.


Here are a few things I am doing to help my self confidence

- Love God, Islam and ask God for the self confidence I need and have dedication towards my religion(Islam)

- Have a great knowledge of my profession

- Be energetic and take up excercise (gym + swimming) and a healthy lifestyle

- Always feel I am happy and pleased with my looks and appearance ( To do this I ensure I love the way I look - my clothes, shoes, perfume, etc).

What it is...

I see Life like a rose in the ice... beautiful but with cold settings - There are so many incredible things out there - but we always need to fight and perservere against the hardships too... otherwise the cold will win ... and we will wither away.

My imagination has led me to believe in something called 'Sudan Fairytale' -
The fantasy that My country will one day be independant and proud, never selfsish to provide its people with its needs, give freedom and success to all, be forever committed to achieve a prosperous inhabitance to every Sudanese in their own country-

My eyes fail me and I see the truth which I call - 'Khartoum Heartbreak' - This is a theme running through the blog under the 'Khartoum Heartbreak' Poems and whatever else about Sudan conveying broken down love, poor streets and cut off electricity along with a lot of other decays and problems in Khartoum city Life.

But I love my country and so I have no choice but to merge the Pain and the Love as one.

Faith is my heart and I could never do without it hoping in my prayers that I can be someone better always and that God forgives me as I fall in Mistakes through that frozen path of Life...

Sometimes I feel under control with all the too many emotions that run to colour my days and nights - Books, movies, music, dreams, friends, family, strangers, travel, - reality - the 10 O' Clock news -Most of the time I'm very Lost in trying to understand - whatever happens becomes tangled into writing this confusing memoir -

It's a really odd combination of air - not sure whether it is refreshing or suffocating - stabilising or maddening - But I breathe and
so it is
'Memoirs of a Sudanese breath' as I am 'Lost but under control' -
