At age 18 I was short and bald. My small stature prevents me from standing before the public to speak. I have always being a little boy with a burning passion to speak out his convictions but I couldn't.

My lack of confidence wasn't because I was plagued with less confidence from birth, my lack of confidence grew due to my inability to see the goodness in myself.

Occasionally I have been called to speak amidst other students but the battle in my mind is a war I could not overcome. In my mind I always have this conversation...

My Mind : Why stay before the people? You are short, nobody will notice you.

Me: But I want to speak, I have something to say.

My Mind: You are bald, people will see how bald you are and they will laugh at you.

Me: I know I'm bald but I still want to speak.

The conversation between I and my mind was a prison I locked myself in. Every single day I lived in the shadow of my mindset.

I realized I have written many articles on how I was able to grow in confidence, how I was able to kill low self-esteem, how I was able to break the back of depression but I realized all of these jointed pains and frustrations occured because of the following:

1. A Poisoned Mindset:

As a man thinketh so he is. It dawned on me that anything hat happens to a man originated from his thought.

I was a very short boy but everything I saw about myself was how short I looked, how bald I was, how unprepared and disjointed I was.

The universe is a confirmation of every thoughts we generate. It is impossible to grow better than how we think.

My confidence didn't grow overnight, my confidence grew the day I grew my mindset. I started thinking the confidence.

The first cure to any problem isn't the problem itself, the first cure is to re align the mind to be solution driven.

After a few years I became a life coach by profession and I realize everything about me changed all because the leading factor which is the mindset was changed.

To grow your confidence, you need to think it. Whatever we think, we act.

2. Action:

A powerful mind can only do little when the hands refuses to work.

Motivations can build the mind to a state of high intensity but if the hands are not ready to move the card, you never win.

To overcome confidence means you train the mind to see confidence and you develop the hand to act it.

I realized I didn't grow in confidence only because my mind has changed from housing a Poisoned mentality to a growth mentality, I noticed I grew faster when I cared less about what was going to happen, I just did it.

Yes, you just have to do it. Think it then act it.

I grew my confidence only when I was able to think and act.

This is the magic, if you can think your confidence and act it, you will be more functional than ever.

I hope to see you win. This is my story, I have shared it many times but the newness still exist. There's more to what we can do, all that is needed from us is to think it and afterwards act it.
