Alhamdulillah, all thanks to Allah that we are still breathing on His world and receiving endless blessings from Him. When we’re talking about low self-esteem and self-confidence, I, too, have experienced it. At the time, I felt that I belonged in a group of underperformers, I was scared and always compared myself to others. In other words, I felt that I was full of weaknesses. When I think back on it, why did I have to feel that way? When I do have a lot of strengths and abilities, I was aware of my strengths and abilities. 

From there, I rose and started to think that it’s better for me to think of the positive aspects about me and not focus on the negative aspects. This is because when the way that I think about myself is negative, everything I do will go wrong and the product would also be negative and proven to be a waste. But when I think that I’m capable, incidentally my confidence will also increase and the product is positive and beneficial.

I believe that there are those among us who always feel less confident because of factors such as their personality, looks, and skills. Usually when we see that others are more intelligent, more beautiful and happier and more perfect than we are, then we would be inclined to feel humbled and feel that we can’t compete with them. These feelings are negative. What we should do is turn our weakness into a strength. Turn the weaknesses inside you as a torch that lights your spirit to keep on improving yourself. 

Therefore, here I want to invite everyone to feel more confident about yourselves, because we are the ones who frame ourselves. Surely we want to succeed in life and have all the goodness of it, right? So start with making changes, change to be more confident so we can be a great person. At the time, people will also acknowledge our greatness but we should never hope for praise and recognition from humans, because those things never last.

Let’s understand the tips that I’m sharing!
