 "If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards." - Paul Bryant

Good day my dear readers, trust you are very fine. I bring to you the concluding part of the last post. In case you are yet to read Part 1 of the Why you find it difficult to believe in yourself post, you can read it here  Now let's consider the number 3 factor which can prevent a person from believing in himself or herself.

3. PAST EXPERIENCES OF FAILURE

This factor is perhaps the mother factor when talking about the causes of a lack of self-confidence in oneself. This is so because almost all the other factors that one might think of have their root cause in a past experience of failure. Take for instance the two other factors we had earlier discussed: Fear in most cases comes from a bad experience that a person has had, or a bad experience that had happened to another person which we know about. This creates in us the feeling that a similar thing could happen to us if we meet ourselves in a similar situation. Also, one of the causes of a low self-esteem is a failure that had been experienced in the past - we said something about this in the last post, but perhaps, we can now get to understand it better.

"Doubt whom you will, but never yourself." - Christian Nestell Bovee

Believing in oneself is an easy, but also, a very difficult thing to do. It is easy in the sense that it's all about the concerned individual. Nobody knows a man better than himself, therefore, such an individual can easily put confidence in his abilities, and go for whatever the target is.

On the other hand, to believe in oneself can really be very difficult if certain factors come into place. In such cases, no tangible result can be obtained from whatever is being done because without a strong believe in oneself, success will remain unachievable.

Today's discussion seeks to examine some of those factors that prevents a person from believing in himself or herself, and ways to deal with them.
