Believe in yourself: Toyin M. Ogboye

Self-belief is trusting in your instincts, gifts, talent, and having the confidence to utilize it appropriately. It is the self-assurance that your visions, dreams, purpose and goals are achievable. Self-esteem and worth are functions of self-belief, the more you believe in yourself, the more your self-esteem and worth increases. Low self-esteem is as a result of lack of self-belief. You can’t be truly happy, love and successful without first believing in yourself.
Self-confidence is doing what you believe is right despite the opposition or criticism. It is the courage to take responsibility for both your rights and wrongs, taking risks and going the extra miles to achieve a desired task. It is those who are aware of their identity that becomes uniquely great in life. Until you are confident of your abilities you can’t utilize them to attain success. For you to control your destiny, you must have a strong belief in yourself. People will never take you serious in life if you lack confidence in yourself.
