Having confidence and believing in yourself is one of the primary keys to a successful life. During times of hardship it is important that we have faith in ourselves to be able to pull things through no matter how difficult the tasks before us might seem. A good way to build up confidence in yourself is to set goals for yourself. The achievement of realistic goals seems to add self-confidence to a person's life like adding money to a bank account.

You also must use your failures to teach you how to conquer challenges that you may not of been able to accomplish before, doing so will give you an advantage over your past trials. You have to be able to take criticism and use it to better yourself. Doing these things will not only make you a better candidate to successfully complete your goals, but will also greatly improve your self-confidence over time.
