What is Self Confidence?

Self Confidence is the faith that we have in our own ablilities, it is the mental power of being comfortable with yourself and who you are despite the flaws

Self Confidence is acknowledging the realisation that you are a unique person deserving of love, trust and respect and having the ability to recognise your own unique talents and skills
We could say that our Self Confidence is linked closely to our Self Esteem and is an important part of every human being. 

We are not born confident, our self confidence is fragile and can go up or down depending on many different factors in our lives, it is also not unusual to feel confident in some situations and unconfident in others, even the most confident of people are unconfident and uncertain at some time in their lives  
Our own thoughts can have an enormous influence over our self confidence both positively and negatively
