What does it take to be successful? Confidence can surely be listed right there at the top of the list of those attributes needed to succeed at what ever the goal.  Confidence is defined by Dictionary.com as "full trust; belief in the powers,trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing".  It is helpful to give thought to the fact that the definition is not only true for others but holds true for each person as an individual in building self-confidence.

Positive self-talk can be a powerful inner tool and  motivator in pushing forward with the things we want to or need to accomplish.  Sometimes we need to positively communicate with ourselves in order to calm troublesome fears and negative thoughts that can hold us back and which seem to come to mind at the worst possible times.
 Fears and negative thoughts have a tendency to appear right before an important job interview or making a presentation before a group at a sales or business meeting or having to introduce yourself for the first time to someone new can all be reasons for lack of or sudden loss of self-confidence.

In achieving success a certain mindset has to be established. Success is not dependent upon how smart you are or how talented you are.Although these are undeniably important and useful attributes, they are not what ultimately determines one's success.  The way you think determines the way you feel about yourself  and the way you feel about yourself will help you reach in whatever area the success we all seek in life.
