I was always somebody who had many confidence issues as I grew up, from a child, through to adulthood. I firmly believed that I had been dealt a very bad hand of cards and I often became rather down in the dumps. The issues that I had in my life were:
A bald patch the size of a ten pence piece on my head
A problem with my speech known as a stuttering
A weight problem, I was quite fat for my height
I am quite short for a male at five-foot-four
Certain people would take the mickey out of me, and their comments would hurt. I made sure that the people around me could not see the amount they were hurting me but inside I was full of anger and frustration.
I could not live life this indefinitely and aged 22 I decided to fight back. My quest for a better life began with me reading a lot of literature to do with how to gain confidence and how to increase self-esteem. I was eager to become a success as I wanted to run by own business selling external doors. I had spent far too long offering advice with regards to Voucher Codes and needed a change.
These were the things I had to take on board:
It is not important what other people think of you, it is what you think that counts
You need to start to like yourself
There are various things about your person, you do not like but which you can not change. It is basically a matter of knowing that there are many other people from all over the world who would love to swap into your shoes; you may think that you are rather unlucky but the truth of the matter is that you are in fact one of the lucky ones.
You need to have respect for yourself
Do not accept second best in life
Be happy
Learn to relax
Treat yourself to some pleasures. Like a regular massage or reflexology.
The above tips helped me to become more positive and happier in life.
