Is Your Self-Confidence Being Crippled By Fear & False Beliefs?
Self-Confidence Crippled by Fear & False Beliefs
Read More »The Secrets of Self-Confidence
Guest Author: Ivana Pejakovic
The key to success, happiness, and overall life satisfaction is confidence. Those who lack confidence tend to miss out on opportunities that would bring them closer to what they desire.
While some people tend to lack confidence in multiple areas of their lives, others only lack it in one or two situations. We are most likely to lose our self-confidence when trying the new and unfamiliar (when we don’t have a clue as to how things will turn out) or in situations that bring up bad memories (e.g., presenting, meeting new people, etc.).

Are you afraid to try new things? Or do you make a few tentative steps then give up before you’ve had a chance to really begin? Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? Is it to avoid failure or rejection? Do you feel the new task is too difficult, or you lack the required skill set? Is it a few steps too far out of your comfort zone? Are you concerned that others will point their fingers of judgment at your efforts?
If you answered yes to any of these responses, then shame on you. You’re justifying your fear with yet another Pyramid of Failure.

Every day brings a new story and everyday is the end of a story. Breaking news from the world we live in: Mother Nature unleashes her fury on one nation. Global recession recovering, construction is climbing; Home one day and gone in the next. Uprisings and revolutions – Peace and war.
From one day to the next seasons change. Today there is snow tomorrow rain, a sign of an ending season. Trees blossom and flowers bloom changing the landscape from cold and grey to warm green and blue.

"Bruno is truly a gift. I met Bruno at a time I felt my life was coming to a closure. He filled me up with knowledge and showed me my skills that I can use daily to over come my triggers. Everyday I challenge my fears and now I have decided to walk thru them instead of ignoring them. Bruno showed me how to heal my inner child. This lead me to let go of years of pain and gave me a reason once again to move forward in my life. Now I can see with clarity where I want to go and with my new found awareness I no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel. I choose to have the light at the beginning of the tunnel and see the light shine through. This allows me to see my fears and any obstacles that might be in my way. I can prepare now for anything and stay more focused because now I choose to see more clearly. Bruno is so genuine and right on. Bruno LoGreco is a professional and a great person. His 10 week program is amazing. Thank you Bruno for coaching me and for showing me that trusting in myself and the outer world can be achieved."
Stuck inside a box
Are you stuck inside a box, too afraid of trying something different – Afraid of being judged or perhaps failing and not living up to “someone’s” expectations?
Break down the box! Take a chance and try something new and different. If you stay in your current box for much longer you will eventually create another box and that box is a very lonely and depressing one and will consume your thoughts.
The reality is when you become afraid to leave the comfort of your box you are actually giving up your control. Whoever or whatever created those self-defeating false beliefs is what is keeping you stuck inside the box, and still has power over you.
New experiences are the key, which unlock doors leading to self-identity. It’s actually part of our natural psychosocial developmental process. What happens when we fail to continue to develop and stop the natural process? We create internal conflict – that’s what happens. Internal conflict is the foundation to the second box – a state of mind deep in thought, reliving almost every negative past experience. That’s torturous for the soul because it experiences the emotions all over again as if the experience were happening at this moment.
The mind cannot discern real from fiction. Stimulus is stimulus and the mind has no way of knowing the difference. Imagine reliving all those negative past experiences all day long with nothing else for the mind to see. Yes, physically you are here but mentally and emotionally you are in a state of dualism far away from reality.
By taking chances and by creating new experiences you allow the mind to continue the natural process of development, which by the way never ends. In each developmental stage you must meet the criteria or you might have difficulties fulfilling the criteria for the next stage. By giving up control and fearing new experiences it stops you from learning what you need so you could be successful in life. Long-term avoidance of this natural need will deepen your internal conflict and stump you from achieving true success.
Challenge your beliefs, take back control and break down the box. Those are the benefits you get from living life full of experiences.
Free yourself from dualism. Enjoy the moment! You have nothing to lose except for the box…
Who cares? People will judge you anyhow
You guys have been great and I appreciate everyone who stops by and takes a moment to read this blog. I know that some of you have been following me since I started down this journey back in 2006, when my writing skills were horrid, but you didn’t care. You were interested in the message rather than my writing skills. I am grateful you stuck with me and continued to come back to read more.
At first I was apprehensive. I was nervous about publishing my thoughts for the world to read because similar to you I was also afraid of being judged. But I knew the only way I would become successful as a life coach and author, and to get to that place I dreamed of, I would need to put it all out there. All of it for everyone to read and to be judged by. So I had to take a decision. Put it all out there for everyone to read, or regret it later when I think back to what I could have been.
Okay, so I’m still not the greatest writer and forget about grammar, but I really don’t care. I’m still learning to write and because it’s not a natural strength of mine I might be learning to write for the rest of my life, and that’s okay too. That’s what editors are for. My weakness is their strength. How perfect!
If you have a dream, something you always wanted for yourself but are too afraid to go after it because of what people might say and think, I have news for you. People will say and think exactly what you believe they will because that’s just the way negative people think. And there are lots of them in this world. Ask yourself, Do these people contribute to my growth? If you answered NO, then who cares – Put it all out there.
