Note: Signs You Are Self-Confident


💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Eleven signs you are a self-confident person:
1] Since you trust Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala at all times and you aim to please Him Only, you're not worried about His servants' criticism and enmity.
2] While you try to be kind and fair with everyone you meet, you don't worry about having a few close friends. You understand that your worth is not measured by your likability and popularity, but your faith/Imaan, good character and piety.
3] You don't force yourself to gain people's approval. You do whatever you believe is the right thing even if it causes certain individuals to dislike you.
4] When you fall, slip or commit a mistake, you don't feel discouraged or lose self-esteem. You either laugh at yourself, acknowledge you're human and you obtain valuable lessons from past mistakes.
5] Critics' insults and haters' mockery do not affect you negatively. If their remarks are obvious lies, you readily brush them off. If what they say could be partly true, you use their feedback to improve yourself, so you can progress with efficiency.
6] Aware of your rights and what you deserve, you're not afraid to go after what is beneficial for you. If you're unable to achieve what you want, you accept Allah's Qadr/Decree patiently, looking forward for a better option next time or a different opportunity.
7] You're brave enough to show your vulnerable side once in a while, strong enough to apologize when necessary, accept someone's apology, admit you're not perfect, and you know there's always something you can learn from everybody.
8] Instead of envying others' positive qualities and achievements, you can be genuinely happy for them, knowing they deserve those gifts for their hard work or they're being examined by Allah the All-Knowing.
9] In general you don't brag about the things that make you happy if discussing what makes you proud does not inspire nor benefit anyone. The more confident you are of your beauty, the less interested you are in taking and uploading selfies.
10] As a confident person with self-love and self-acceptance, you make effort to uplift, support and defend others, rather than bringing people down or gossiping about them to feel better about yourself.
11] The more genuine self-confidence you have, the more you're willing to share what you can contribute, continue doing what you excel at, be helpful, motivate and take initiative to do good, even if some onlookers may doubt you, think you're weird or consider you misunderstood.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllah 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the  phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of shaytan."
