Learn How To Turn Your Negatives Into Positives
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 flyer printing 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
Learn to relax
Treat yourself to some pleasures. This could be some form of massage, aromatherapy or reflexology.
The above tips helped me to become more positive and happier in life.

How To Raise Your Self Confidence
There were a range of things which impacted upon my overall self-confidence and self-esteem levels as I grew from being a young child to a man. These included:
A bald patch on my head
A speech impediment known as a stutter
A weight problem, I was basically too fat
I am rather vertically challenged at only 5ft 4
Certain people I met would be quite nasty and would try to make fun of me. I tried really hard to ensure that these nasty people did not affect me however I must admit that there were many a time when I would shed a tear. Life at times was quite tough especially where I worked at the company offering a Medical negligence claims service.
These people were making my life a misery and by the age of twenty-two I had had enough. I decided I needed a big change in attitude and started to read books about life and about positive thinking etc.
These were the things I had to take on board:
Who cares what other people think about you? As long as you like and have respect yourself nothing else really matters
You need to start to like yourself
There are likely to be many things about yourself that you are not too about about however some of these you are unable to change. You therefore have to start accepting these things and realising that maybe there are other people in life who are more unfortunate than you.
You need to have respect for yourself
Only accept the best from life
I tried hard to implement this advice and even though it was not easy to change, I knew I had to. It is now time to make the most out of my life; I have a lot of catching up to do - there is certainly no time for worrying. I have also managed to eradicate the stuttering problem.
I have now become a successful external doors salesman and my life is now much happier overall.
I hope this article will be of benefit to the people who read it.
