For many people, thoughts are nothing more than fuzzy, invisible, nonexistent stuff. Many people live their entire lives with no understanding of what thought actually is. If you are one of these people, who have never given much thought to what a thought actually is, then that is A-OK. I was once in your shoes!

However, if you want to boost your self confidence, then you must believe me when I tell you that thoughts are things-very powerful things. Thoughts are the basis for everything you see around you.

The computer or mobile device that you are currently using began as a thought. The roof over your head was once a thought in a carpenter’s mind. Your Iphone was once a thought in Steve Jobs’ mind. The clothes you are wearing, the shoes you have on and the dinner you will eat tonight all began as thoughts.

The article you are reading began as a thought in my mind earlier this morning. A few minutes of repeated and habitual positive thoughts about this article led to the belief in me that I could indeed create this article. This powerful belief motivated me to sit down and begin typing this article. Anything that is created in this world follows the same general steps as the steps I took to create this article.

So what does this all mean with regards to self confidence? We know that thought is the basis for the creation of physical things, but thought is also the basis for the creation of non-physical things as well. Take emotions for example. Emotions are created by habitual and repeated thought. If a person repeatedly and habitually thinks negative thoughts about themselves, then they will begin to experience negative emotions such as self-doubt, worry, anxiety and fear. This is the basis of how a low self confident person comes into existence.

Thoughts like these have a dramatic negative effect on a person’s life and their level of self confidence. If you are thinking these thoughts, it is next to impossible for you to enjoy life. Thinking these types of thoughts will create awful feelings of self-doubt, anger, sadness and frustration.

I didn’t realize I was doing this to myself because I was not accustomed to paying much attention to what I was thinking. The reason so many men struggle with self confidence is because we fail to give much attention to what we are thinking. Fortunately with the right help and strategies, anyone can learn how to become more confident by simply changing the way they think about themselves and their abilities.

Inside the bathroom, Suzy asks her friend how her mother was doing; to which her friend replied that her mother was dead, and that she had killed herself in that very same bathroom.

Taken aback by what she had just heard, Suzy looked around the bathroom for signs of a suicide. But after glancing over each wall and seeing the bathroom spotless and clean, there were neither signs of blood anywhere, nor any evidence of suicide. Seeing Suzy looking around the bathroom, the friend said, “I cleaned the bathroom after my mother’s death.”
