Confidence isn&rsquo;t just a trait&mdash;it&rsquo;s a foundation for growth. When you trust your instincts and embrace your inner voice, you open the door to transformative change.
On today&rsquo;s episode of Brain Busters with Basmah, Egyptian entrepreneur and content creator Sarah Abou Elkhier joined Nile FM to share her personal journey. She spoke candidly about the power of self-belief and why she sees confidence as the driving force behind true success.
You&rsquo;re Worth It&nbsp;
Confidence is more than just a word; it is a feeling you build. Sarah says, &ldquo;The core is &lsquo;You&rsquo;re worth it&mdash;just be yourself.&rsquo;&rdquo; True confidence means knowing your value without needing to prove anything to others.
Self-Talk
Self-talk can either lift you up or bring you down. Positive self-talk builds from actions: every small step forward strengthens your inner voice and prepares you to do even better next time. Negative self-talk, like saying you&rsquo;re &ldquo;the prettiest person on earth&rdquo; every day, can come off as arrogant and lose its ability to inspire. The goal is to reflect honestly: talk to yourself, learn about who you are, and back it up with real effort.
Goals
Clear goals drive determination. Focus less on what you plan to do and let your actions speak. Dreams boost confidence; if you face rejection, keep trying until you succeed.
Stepping to Your Own Beat&nbsp;
Sarrah added, "Taking the first step can be scary because overthinking leads to excuses." She continued, "Striving for perfection is a trap; no one starts out perfect". Start now, improve along the way, and let your progress matter more than perfection.
Arrogance vs. Confidence
Arrogance your possessions or accomplishments, can come off as rude. True confidence is quiet and humble: &ldquo;The more humble you are, the more confident you become.&rdquo; Use your confidence to move forward rather than to put others down.
Post-traumatic syndrome (PTSD)&nbsp;
Sarah briefly mentioned PTSD, a mental health issue triggered by flashbacks. Symptoms can include flashbacks, severe anxiety, and intrusive thoughts. Recognizing and addressing PTSD is an important step to regaining your confidence, but you have to overcome and focus on your goals.
Final Advice: Be Yourself&nbsp;
Sarah&rsquo;s advice to her younger self and all of us is simple: focus on your own journey. Don&rsquo;t worry about who likes you or who doesn&rsquo;t. Concentrate on your health, your goals, and your family. Let being true to yourself guide you.
