Use of Self Confidence to Overcome Social Challenges
I believe we have all heard of the common phrase “education is the key to success”. Have
we stopped to think of this statement in its entirety and consider the reasons why some people
are well educated but still do not live to the highest pinnacle of what they personalize as success?
In my own definition success which is more tied to the level of happiness of individuals, I
maintain that a good self-confidence is a key to the success of everyone in wherever niche they
delve in. Well, to avoid extremism and monopolization the concept of success we can fairly say
that self-confidence is the first step in the journey of success achievement.in every sector of life
be it at work, in school or in the daily maneuvers of life, the individuals who have selfconfidence appears to be on top of the world. Everything seems to happen for them pretty fine as
they appear calm collected and eventually successful in all that they do.
Paying close attention, you will come to the realization that these so-called self-confident
individuals tend to be successful in almost all areas of their lives. Have you ever asked yourself
why? Could this be because they are naturally born smarter than the rest? Or could it be because
they have more money and resources? Or maybe they are just luckier than the rest? The truth is
that neither of these things holds water. There is a deeper secret with these people more than just
the superficial that everyone can see. These people have a perception about themselves that they
harbor the ability to achieve the things whatever they are set to do and they are well aware of this
impact on their lives. The confidence that is in them finally creates opportunities that yields

success in each new filed that they put their endeavors. The confidence that they filled with
concerning their abilities is what places every building block of success into its rightful place.
In most, cases we say that perception builds a reality and this is one truth. You can
typically become what you want to be. This can seem to be more synonymous but let me bring to
your understanding one aspect of this. Woods and Scott (Pg.23) say that everything in our lives
is propelled with motivation and effort that is put towards what we do. An individual who has no
self-confidence issues alleviate their system of the burden of social problems that affect their
motivation towards what they do. Low levels of motivation are associated with low energy and
urge towards an activity. Putting less effort typically translate into expecting to achieve very
little. The vicious circle continues up to the point that an individual becomes totally unproductive
to engage in any important activity. As such the first step of becoming productive in whatever
one puts their hand on depends on their level of self-confidence which will intern help them in
overcoming the social challenges that are a great limitation to success.
Building self-confidence starts by acknowledging your positive aspects. Make a list of
the good things that you handle best or the things that other people praise of. Think of all the
compliments that have come your way as a result of the things that you handle authentically. Do
not care about what these things are if they are good, note them down. Try as much as possible to
keep away from the negative thoughts that you project towards yourself of which others project
towards you (Cobb et al.Pg.89). Always surround yourself with positive, confident and
successful individuals. They will help you to pull your battles forwards as well as provide the
needed mentorship that will help you in steering your life forward. You must always strive to
look at yourself through another mirror that can point to you how worthy you are. In this process
do not lend a deaf ear to your weakness because partly the process of success is dependent on

improving the weaknesses while maximizing on the strengths and being comfortable with none
of them (Woods and Scott Pg.47).
Self-confidence can assist one in overcoming various challenges in all the sectors of life,
but I want to narrow my focus to the social challenges. The social challenges that most
individuals in the social domain suffer from are mainly related to low self-esteem and social
anxiety disorder. These two issues can completely paralyze the life of someone....
