My childhood was full of self-doubt and lack of confidence. I lost most of the opportunities that came my way because I was always thinking about what people would think about me and always questioned my abilities.
But as I grew up, I realized that this has to STOP. As a Mass Media student, it was necessary for me to show my talent to a wide audience and impress people around me. Now I’m a confident person with a powerful personality.
Want to know how I did that? Keep on reading!
Here are my 5 favorite hacks with which even you can develop a Powerful Personality
1. Believe In Yourself
“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” — E.E. Cummings
Have you always been that “I can’t do it” self-doubting person? Then this point is especially for YOU. Because if you yourself don’t believe in yourself, then how can you expect that from others?
I understand you have certain fears, but life is not meant to be comfortable. Stop doubting your abilities because that way you’re yourself putting boundaries in front of you.
There will be a lot of challenges coming your way. But don’t find a way to run away from them. Take them as opportunities to know yourself and grow from within. Start believing in yourself, give your best shot, and then I will not even have to tell you to repeat, because you yourself will.
2. Know Yourself

Now that you finally believe in yourself, it’s time to dig deeper. To not let someone else find out your weaknesses and try to bring you down holding that, it’s necessary that you identify them and hide them with your strengths.
So obviously it becomes necessary to discover your strengths and weaknesses and find a way to work on them. However, sometimes we ourselves are unaware of what we’re actually good or bad at. Here, you can take the help of a trusted friend or family member.
Also, there are so many free aptitude tests available which help you uncover your inner self without having the feeling of being judged or having to worry about the opposite person using this list to get back at you later (The reason behind bolding the word “Trusted” earlier. Trust me, that happens).
3. Improve on your Weaknesses Little by Little
Only just knowing where you’re lacking will definitely not take you anywhere. You need to improve on those weaknesses slowly, learn from your previous mistakes, and find a way to tackle them with a better plan this time.
For instance, if you’ve always been nervous to speak in front of a huge crowd, you can slowly start improving at it by speaking in front of the mirror, or starting with a smaller audience first and eventually building confidence.
4. Be the Unique You

Don’t try to be someone else. Looking up to others is way different than trying to be that person. Don’t change yourself.
People adore powerful personalities only because they’re different from others and not because they’re perfect. Just be your best self and you will start attracting people towards you without even doing anything.
5. Be Clever With Your Relationships
As it is always said, “You never know when you will need someone’s help.” Even personally, I always suggest having a cordial relationship with everyone. No matter what has happened, there shouldn’t be a situation as such that you and the person in front of you would not even want to look into each other’s eyes.
Professionally, it is a must to stay away from unnecessary rivalry. Because someday if you need that person’s help, you and I both know that it’s not going to be an easy task. That way you’ll have to lower yourself down in front of the other person which will definitely not be considered as a “powerful personality trait.”
Final Words
Having a Powerful Personality doesn’t mean that you need to act rude or stop respecting others. In fact, a person having a powerful personality will give others optimum respect and yet know how to show their prominence.
This is not going to be an easy journey but I want you to know that you can do it! Just keep faith in yourself and don’t lose hope! Best of Luck!
