Confidence is a very important element in my life. I have been brought up, labeled as a bright student, capable of doing many things. This indirectly shapes me to become a very confident person in doing my things, and sometimes arrogant too. However, I have long ditched the arrogant attitude after some kind feedbacks from some close friends. I learned to be humble and yet confident when tackling my tasks.
Over the years, confidence have assists me to accomplish many of the tasks that I face and fortunately able to go through all of it. While I cannot deny that luck does help me a lot, especially when I recap on how I gone through everything, yet confidence is also the main reason why I'm fearless when encountering problems or challenges.
There are many unhappy things, in particular, failures that occurred this year which slowly erodes my confidence. My confident level has fall until a point that I myself will think that I will fail even before I try. Because of this mindset, I have faced more failures than success.
For example, I played pool with my friends recently. It has been few years since I last played pool, and because this is a spontaneous activity, I do not have much mood to play. I joined my friend anyway since I do enjoy playing pool last time, but I sucked at it this time. I remember last time when I first played pool, I was confident that it should be easy and I played according to my common sense about force and angle. It all came out well and I thought I have little talent on playing that.
So this time, I was not in the mood to play and also my confidence level is very low, I missed many times and even did stupid mistakes and fouls. Mistakes that I couldn't believe I'm making, where my cue doesn't even touch the white balls as if I'm blind or what. Once awhile I told myself to stay cool and focus, I regain some confidence and managed to pocket the balls perfectly without a miss. But as soon as my guard is down and the confident feeling slipped away, I began to do stupid mistakes again like aiming the wrong angle, hitting the side of the white ball and stuff. All these happens because I'm not focused and not confident.
I wished to gain back the confidence I used to have. In order to do so, I need to seek motivation and self recognition about the things I do. i want to become the person that everyone can trust and rely on doing things again.
