I would like to start a discussion on what is meant by confidence or will power.
This is not my analysis , I have read this and am trying to share with you about my understanding on the topic by citing some examples. A note to the reader that please read example with your gender. I am going to use only 'He' , of course you can substitute it with 'She'.
We have heard so people saying for others "He is very confident guy", "He has got guts", "He can do anything", "He will manage", "He is very bold", "Its hard to control him", "He is power house", "What a attitude man", "He can meet the figures", "He will complete the project on time", "He is go getter","He is successful" and the list goes on..
Point to ponder over here is what is that which makes them 'Oh so confident ? Why everyone is not confident. Yes confident at situation's and life condition.
Is confidence is somewhere related with will power or the two are different characteristics and what is the role of imagination and belief in it?
Well, I think confidence comes from within , you can't teach anyone to be confident, of course you can inspire one.
Confidence is inbuilt quality subjected to the situation. A very confident person in business life might not very confident in terms of social life , a very confident boy in sports is not very confident in academics..then why some are confident and some are not, its situational.
I think that it is because when someone does something or is involved into something which he likes or desires is confident.
Now the question comes, how come a person realize that this is exactly he likes or desires.
Is it a divine call or is it from looking at others or call from with in ?
Whatever it may be , but it should be from inner YOU, with in YOU. It is not biased by outer world. Yes you can be inspired by external environment but its the inner YOU who is responsible for the confidence.
As i mentioned before that confidence is inspired by imagination and imagination is a belief or more precisely a THOUGHT.
This where comes your THOUGHT PROCESS or what YOU THINK.
Many people fails over here who comes into category of not so confident. It is because they can't think of being confident at particular situation and it is due to the belief which are built upon over the year's in their life by looking into surrounding environment where they have been brought up , involved with and what most of them say "I have seen this", "It happens like that" , " If I will do this then that will happen" , and so on.... "It happened with him, situation is same, it will happen with me as well"....All sought of varied thoughts on speculation.
Apparently, they prove it right as well , because this is what they think, all the time and those who break this glass ceiling of belief comes out to be spectacular confident human being.
All this complexity and doubt is your own creation and your own belief !!!! Change this programming. This is called as negative belief and what comes out after reprogramming will very be wonderful. Think about it. Your new avatar.
Let us take an example, there were two fellows who wanted to reach airport on time to catch up a flight scheduled at 8.55 PM and till 8.20 PM they are on road. One was fearful or confident negatively that he will loose the flight and other was confident that he will catch the flight. Just imagine who would have won??
Yes the confident one about catching the flight, because he has already imagined that he will catch the flight and discarded all the negative belief system which came in between in attaining his desire. So here comes the imagination which has surpassed the will of other who was negatively confident about loosing it.
Let us take another example, Again two fellows both of them were studying together in degree college ,aiming for fantastic career in business world and passing out with same grade. During the course of time, one became a good business development manager in a giant organization in a small span of time and other is still a researcher and aiming to settle down in life. By citing this, am not criticizing a researcher.
For relationship example, I have already quoted a post title "love".
Let us take example on health with some of our bollywood celebrities viz Anurag Basu, Liza Ray both of them have recovered from illness. This is all because of thinking in line with confidence to live.
You can look around in your life for other examples, there are so many, I have cited just a few.
To conclude, Just be confident about your desire to achieve something in your life ,devote all your THOUGHTS in getting it by aligning your belief and taking actions.
Over to you guys for comments.

its well written and articulated but i would like to add that it is the upbringing and exposure that also matters. Confidence also oozes out if we have experience and grasp on that aspect.Thats why people from higher educational institution seem very confident. A rich man looks comfortable in flight but a person lacking experience keeps looking around.
Its about struggle also...those who struggle know inside
Thanks Dr.Ajay for your comment.
