Unfortunately, so many of us want to forget the process and we want to just focus on the here and the now. This can be done without losing our hold on a positive self-image, while simultaneously giving someone else the strength to push forward and not give up in their own journey. If successful, worthwhile people never failed and never experienced weakness, if everything came naturally and easily to them, then what hope is there for the rest of us?

Humility and confidence. Unfortunately, overconfident leaders see humility as a weakness or inadequacy. In reality, humility helps you see your blind spots, own up to your mistakes, and develop your problem-solving skills. Similarly, overly humble leaders may mistake confidence for arrogance. Nobody wants to be around someone who believes they're the smartest person in the room, but some degree of self-confidence is important.
Self-confidence promotes motivation, resilience, and courage. What's the solution? A healthy balance of humility and confidence. Here's how to achieve it:. Experts agree that emotional intelligence is important for productivity because it promotes self-motivation and emotional regulation.
Those qualities also make it an excellent tool for improving your confidence without giving your ego the reins. Fortunately, there's no shortage of ways to build your EI. Start small: Reflect on how you respond to your own emotions. If another driver cut you off in traffic, did you grit your teeth and move on, or did you add to the danger by striking back?
Observe your emotions, think before you act, and be open to others' criticism. Saying "thank you" helps us recognize all the good others contribute to our lives, explains Vicki Zakrzewski , education director at University of California-Berkeley's Greater Good Center. Take stock of your own beliefs, like religion, politics, and morals, and research them thoroughly.
Make sure you really believe in them for your own reasons and that you are not just following in the footsteps of others. Have confidence in knowing that your own beliefs are sound, but stay humble in realizing that other people also have opinions and hold different beliefs. Understand that your value does not decrease the value of others. Having confidence means that you realize your own self-worth, but it does not put you above other people. You are absolutely allowed to love yourself, but do so without putting others down.
Recognize that other people are also struggling and trying to find confidence in themselves. Remember that you were once doubtful of yourself too. Set goals while being content with what you have.
Look for ways to improve your life while still staying thankful for what you have. Think about how your life has changed and improved over the last months or even years. Remind yourself that everything in your life that you have right now was once a goal of yours that you meant to accomplish.
Method 2. Surround yourself with positive people. Negativity breeds negativity, and if you are spending all of your time around people who bring you down, you will eventually stoop to their level.
Try to find peers who like you for who you are and push you toward your goals instead of focusing on your mistakes. Make decisions based on your opinions plus the opinions of those close to you. If you have confidence in yourself, you may think that you know what is right all the time.
However, serious life choices, like making a move, accepting a new job, or going back to school can have effects on the people in your life who are close to you. Practice humility by checking in with them and not assuming that you always know the best. Take responsibility for your mistakes. Everybody messes up sometimes, and being both humble and confident means that you own up to your mistakes.
Show gratitude to those around you. People do things every day that make your life easier. Your partner making you breakfast, a coworker helping you out with a project, a child doing their homework without you asking. Call attention to people when they do things that help you out. This will show you have the confidence to compliment others and the humbleness to say that they helped you. This shows a lack of confidence. Offer suggestions instead of commands. Friends, coworkers, and spouses are much more likely to take your advice seriously if you offer it up as an option instead of something that they have to do.
Give them examples of life experiences that you have had while relating them to their struggles or situations. I made sure to emphasize all the new work I was undertaking and how much I was doing for the company. Avoid bragging about your strengths.
