Lack of self confidence apparently is one of the great problems besstting people today. Everywehere you encounter people who are inwardly afraid, who shrink from life, who suffer from a deep sense of inadequacy and insecurity, who doubt their own powers. Deep within themselves they mistrust their ability to meet responsibilities or to grasp opportunities. Always they are beset by the vague and sinister fear that something is not going to be quite right. They do not believe that they have it in them to be what they want to be, and so they try to make themselves content with something less than that of which they are capable. Thousands of people go through life crawling on their hands and knees, defeated and afraid. And in most cases such frustration of power is unneccessary. You don't neccessarily need to have a phd in any field of study to develope self confidence, because self confidence is simply a mindset. A poorly developed mindset is the "holy grail" of lack of self confidence. There are many well educated folks who lack self confidence. Self confidence is the platform that sustains any level of success you'll ever achieve in life. The first step in the journey of developing self confidence is to rearange your thought pathern or thininking process. No matter who you are and where you are in life, if you can begin to rearange and realign you thought with positve virtues or thoughts, you'll soon discover the amount of positve energy that will be oozing out of you in the form of self confidence.
