In the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill he gave us a very simple Formula for developing self-confidence.

It is well known that sooner or later you will believe in what you Repeat for yourself, whether it is true or not. If we repeat a lie time after time we end up accepting the lie as truth. We will believe that it is true. We are all as we are, because of the dominant thoughts we give permission to fill our minds.

Thoughts mixed with emotions constitute a magnetic force that attracts similar thoughts. A thought that is magnetized with feeling can be compared to a seed that, when planted in fertile soil, sprouts, grows and multiplies again and again. A single little seed, becoming countless millions of seeds of the same kind.

Decide to reject all influences from unfortunate environments you may have grown up in or are in now, and bring your life in order. When you do the status of your mental abilities and assets, you will find that your biggest weakness is lack of self-confidence. This disability can be overcome by means of a single arrangement of positive thought impulses, expressed in writing, recorded in memory and repeated until they become part of your subconscious mind.

Self-confidence formula

1. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in life, therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

2. I realize the domination thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality, therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.

3. I know through the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it, therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of SELF-CONFIDENCE.

4. I have clearly written down a description of my definite chief aim in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

5. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attraction to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, Selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.

I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a selfreliant, and successful person.
