Self-belief

To be self-confident is to trust in our own abilities and believe that we can do what we set our minds to. Carol Dweckโ€™s research at Stanford University changed the way that we think about success. In her book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, she revealed the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. A fixed mindset assumes that our intelligence is static, meaning that it cannot change. Avoiding failure at all costs is the name of the game. Conversely, a growth mindset thrives through adversity. Failure is viewed as an opportunity to grow and stretch oneself.Healthy self-belief is not narcissism, bragging, or boasting. Rather, it is a realistic but optimistic evaluation of yourself and your abilities and a sense of trust and confidence in yourself.
