NUGGETS FROM REVEREND SAM ADEYEMI’S TEACHING: HOW TO BUILD CONFIDENCE – PART 1

1. To build Confidence, I encouraged you to build your Character.
2. I encouraged you to Develop:

I. “Strong Values” – Very important.

II. “Set Standards” for Yourself – Standard of behavior because I have realized that Negative Behaviours defeat our Sense of Confidence. It affect the way we feel about ourselves.

So, build Character, Strengthen your Character, Choose to be Honest, Choose to be Trustworthy, Choose to have Integrity.

And that simply means: What you “SAY” aligns with what you “DO” – Who you are in Private aligns with who you are in Public.

I want to encourage you that we should build our Character.

… And do you know how it is?

It functions like the Muscles – It Strengthens day after day because we Human Beings are Creature of Habits.

So, we can Strengthen our Character daily by constantly building Values.

1. So, Honesty is a Value for example; Generosity is a Value – We can subscribe to those Values.
2. Service is a Value.

Helping to meet People’s Needs, helping to Solving People’s Problem – These are Powerful Values.

3. Love is Powerful.

Choosing to love People generally; to care for People; to empathise with People – That builds Confidence.

So, “Strong Values” very Critical.

Have “Strong Values” Primarily Love because those Values influence our behaviour; they help our Decision Making Process.

Sometimes sincerely speaking, we have only a few split seconds to make our Decision.

Somebody once said: The Natural Human Instinct is to help the Person back. But when you have the “Strong Value” of Love, you know that forgiveness has to Prevail over the desire for Revenge.

Not revenging sometimes make us look weak but sincerely speaking when you write off someone’s Debt; that Emotional Debt, when you forgive someone like that – You feel Good on the inside.

It Strengthens your Feelings – It is a Positive Feelings that it gives you. It Strengthens your Results, Strengthens your Characters.

So, build your Character – It is absolutely Critical to the Process of “Building Confidence”.

The other important thing here is: For you to build your Competence, your Capacity to work and to Solve Problems.

… It helps your Confidence!

One of the things that defeat confidence the most on this Planet is:

1. For you to want to do something and you fail at it.
2. For you not to be Good at it especially if you have been trained and you have been employed for it and you have been Paid for it.

… For you not to be able to do it will defeat your “Self Esteem”.

So, Skillfulness build Esteem for you to be able to do something and for you to be able to do it well.

My first car, you know after sometimes developed a fault. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was. It was a puzzle and this is what happened.

When I would drive on highway, whenever I wanted to overtake another vehicle. At the Point of accelerating, I mean the sound of the engine would just go down and it would stop moving.

The accelerator didn’t work anymore.

I had to slow down and the car won’t just pick up and run.

I would had to Park by the roadside – Put the engine off, wait a few minutes, start it all over again before it would start and move.

This thing took Months and Months because I took it to the Mechanics; he did something to it but it didn’t work – It took Months.

One day, the car stopped in our neighborhood. We Pushed it to the house.

So, my Mechanics came to look at it.

And the way he was speaking obviously he didn’t know what to do.

I could see it, I could hear it – He wasn’t sure what to do but he still recommended for me to buy some Parts.

And it happened that there is a friend that is using exactly the same kind of car.

When I called him, he said oh my Mechanics is very Good. If you don’t mind I will bring him tomorrow morning.

When my friend’s Mechanics arrived, he knew exactly what to do.

Within ten (10) minutes, my car was up and functioning well.

… It is amazing and I haven’t forgotten it.

It has been quite some Years now and it was like Magic.

… He knew the job, he knew what he was doing.

What I am saying here is: Competence on your Job; Skillfulness on your Job; Expertise on your Job will build your Confidence!

I will like to say this to you: If you are a Student studying right now, do the reading well – The Good Grades will help your Confidence!

And some People were Gifted for Academics – We have got to accept that.

They don’t work as much as we do, yet they get the highest mark – It is a Function of their Gift.

… So, if you need to Put in hard work, Put in your hard work to get the Good Grades – It will help your Self Esteem!

If you want to build your Confidence:

1. Function in the Areas of your Gifting.
2. Align your Career with your Strength.

… Your strength will help you to Stand Well.

… It does!

So, you should just bear it in mind that your Talent is given to you in “Raw Form”.

1. It is to be Refined.
2. It needs to be Cultivated.
3. It needs to be Developed.

The more you develop your Talent, the more you develop your Gift and the easier it is for you to Succeed.
