Confidence can get you so far in life, but we all have those moments where we doubt ourselves or envy others who just exude the confidence we wish we had.

Too much confidence can come of as rude or arrogant, but happy, positive people who believe in themselves, have a great level of confidence that will be a desirable trait in work and home life. Careerlism recently did a post on tips to help boost your confidence and we wanted to highlight some to help gain the confidence you need to be successful in life.

Everyone doubts themselves, even the most confident people have their moments. Some people are just better at faking it than others. So remember to take a moment and believe, believe that you are good enough, that you are a value to others, and that even in moments of self-doubt, you have the ability to show confidence in what you know.

Dressing for success is another way to increase confidence. Be mindful of your appearance and dress for the job you want, not for the job you have. Your confidence meter will go up if you exude confidence in the way you dress.

Live positively. Surround yourself with the positive things in life, people who lift your spirit, and things that create positive energy. Sometimes the biggest things in life that hold us back are ourselves, so surround yourself with positive things and you will feel more confident about life. And remember to, ask, believe, and receive.

Don’t compare yourself to others because everyone is unique. You make the decisions on how your life will turn our so don’t seek approval in others, be happy about yourself and who you are and that will turn into the confidence that you need.

Remember, it is your life, don’t be too hard on yourself and know that life isn’t a competition. If you’re a happy, positive person who is confident in what they know and believe, you will go far in life. Confidence is the secret sauce for success and you are the only one who can make yourself have more confidence.
