Everyone dreams and has goals which he wants to achieve. However, without self confidence, dreams and goals will just remain where they are. Enhancing your self confidence can provide you the impetus you need to achieve your dreams.

There are three ways you can really gain self confidence and build up your self esteem:

Write a diary- It’s an old human tendency to forget the good and focus on the bad. Hence, write a diary every day about all the positive things that happened to you or you did for the day.
A daily diary will help you understand how the little positives assemble up over months, weeks and even years. Simple things and acts of kindness or initiatives that helped you in your career can be really uplifting in the hindsight.

Something as trivial as holding the door for a wizened man or reading a self lifting book can make you feel positive about your self. As you feel these positives building up over a period of time, you will be motivated to achieve even more.

Instead of making your dreams look big and unachievable, break them down into small steps. Accomplish some of your steps everyday. List those steps down and strike them off once you accomplish them. Each time you do that, you will feel empowered and more confident and in control of your life. These baby accomplishments will help you to realize your ultimate goal.

Let’s say that you want to save money for a vacation. Breaking this goal into small steps would mean that you buy a piggy bank and put $5 in it every day. Imagine you joy when you break open your piggy bank and get $1000 for your vacation and without even thinking much about it! Failure to achieve big goals can really dampen your self confidence; hence small goals can help you build up your big dreams and your self esteem.
