Do you consider yourself to be a confident person? Do you trust your abilities? Do you even know what those abilities are? Having self confidence is probably one of the most important aspects of your personality you can develop on your journey of self development.

Lack of self confidence is often the origin of anxiety and preoccupations when we are faced with everyday challenges, whether they may be big or small.
It stops us from building meaningful relationships, from truly pursuing our dreams, from speaking our mind, from taking risks, in essence from being ourselves. That is why it is so important, not only for our professional life, but also for our private life, to find those tools and strategies that might help us in building self confidence and finding our place in this world.

Marcus Aurelius offers us 10 tips to build our  self confidence:

1. Focus on building your character
2. Practice Self-Acceptance
3. Focus on your thoughts
4. Make a plan and stop thinking
5. Keep your word
6. Take ownership of your actions
7. Don’t speak too much about yourself
8. Remind yourself of death
9. Ignore the naysayers
