When you don’t have to rely on someone else, you are the master of your own destiny. That’s really the secret to everything in life. If you’re OK with yourself and you don’t need others approval for your happiness, then you are happy. Self reliance comes with self confidence. Self reliance helps a person to prepare for life challenges.
Rest your mind and imagine a situation where you are confident and successful. Go over the details thoroughly in your mind. What did you do? What did you say? You can also try to remember a time in the past when you acted with a lack of confidence. Go over the situation in your mind, changing whatever details you would need to alter the outcome to a desired one. Visualize yourself strengthening your self-confidence and acting the way you wish you would have acted. Don't judge yourself - simply re-create the situation and envision yourself with strong self-confidence, and having the outcome be better.
To build on self improvement one needs to love him/herself. Leaning to love yourself is fundamental in self improvement and building good self esteem.

When you stop and deal with your issues and insecurities, you are on the road to a more well and vibrant you and hence achieving success will be easy.
