How To Improve Your Self-Confidence

In his book An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday life, The Dalai Lama writes, ‘Self-confidence is very important. How do we achieve it?

First we must bear in mind that we are equal to all human beings and that we have the same capabilities. If we remain pessimistic, thinking that we cannot succeed, then we aren’t able to evolve.

The thought that we cannot compete with others is the first step toward failure.’

To achieve self-confidence, you first must know who you are, where you are, what you want, and how to get it.
