You should try to make your vision like a sandal tree which does not get affected with snakes.

Wish you happy journey for this beautiful destination called success. Success is all yours :)

Your talent will not be something you hate doing. Sure, I'm really very good at scrubbing bathroom. You can conduct a white glove inspection when I'm done, but that's not my special talent. That's not my special gift to world. And it sure as heck never built an ounce of self-confidence for me. No, you have to really truly deeply love what it is you're doing or talent won't show itself. You have to forget to think and lose all track of time while zoning out in flow of creating, building, stretching, and growing with hobby. Get to point that when you look up and notice what you've done, that you're impressed with yourself. Practice until you get to that point where you forget to judge yourself. You could very well end up making it into your career if there's a market for it. If there isn't, no harm done. You have got to build a can-do attitude around your ability to do something well.

Once you've learned something that well, you can begin stretching beyond your comfort zone and trying other things like public speaking. Okay so that might not happen right away, but once you've really mastered something, then you can always remind yourself that you are capable of success and you are capable of learning something new. Once you know that you can practice and learn new things, then fear of new things isn't nearly so immobilizing. You can step beyond your fears knowing that with enough practice you can master almost anything you set your mind to. At that point, you won't actually have a self-esteem problem anymore.

The point is that by playing around with something you love until you are very good at it, you will gain self-esteem and that is going to make it possible for you to hold your head high and to bravely step into other more frightening areas of life. Start out by practicing at something you love until you're good at it, then move on to other things that don't sound like much fun at all. You'll really know deep down that there's nothing to be afraid of. It all comes down to whether or not you believe that you are capable of learning something new. That's all. Self-confident people reassure themselves when walking into unknown territory by saying, "Well, I'll just have to wing it until I learn how to do it right. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough." That comes from experiencing positive effects of having practiced and learned something new. So go learn something new -- start with something fun.
