KREPITE SAMO-ZAVEST

Self-confidence originates in knowing who I really am. While we are getting to know ourselves throughout life, is very important another basic element which is called: ACCEPTING YOURSELF.
It originates in our capability of accepting ourselves as human beings and focus on our positive sides at the same time – our virtues, priorities and good qualities, which define us. When we focus on these sides of our self-image, it begins to positively affect our self-confidence and self-respect. We center too less on our advantages, instead we are focused on our imperfections, which does more harm than good.

We have to help ourselves and others to start focusing on positive images.
