Would you like to be confident?
Your answer may be - yes, I do want to be confident!
However, this answer lacks the impact.
It is too generalized and we know generalization don’t give the definite path intended for you.
Just like everybody wants to do well in life, be happy and have enough money to live off, but not many ever realize these generalization.
This is because to actually get somewhere in life, you need to have intention.
This also includes your confidence.
You need intentional confidence: confidence with purpose.
You need to define the task for which you need to be confident so that you can execute it successfully.
Like a dream must have a deadline, a mere wish to be confident must have a purpose.
Confidence is Different for Everyone
Self Confidence might mean different things to different people groups.
For a child it might mean to be able to recite the poem to her teacher the next morning.
For a business executive it might mean to be able to present the business report to the Board of Directors.
For an employed person it may be the ability to be able to make a switch over from his secure job to a new independent venture and so on.
To execute their respective tasks, these people need a certain level of confidence, which would see them through.
Every task requires a minimum level of confidence to be able to be executed.
