Which term describes your belief in yourself and your abilities?

• A. Self-awareness
• B. Self-confidence
• C. Self-esteem
• D. Power

Answer: (B)

Belief in your own abilities is self-confidence. It means you trust you can succeed at tasks, handle challenges, and keep going even when things get tough. This idea focuses on what you think you can do, not just how you feel about yourself overall or your awareness of your feelings. Self-awareness is about recognizing your emotions, strengths, and weaknesses; self-esteem is your overall sense of worth as a person; power refers to the capacity or authority to influence others, not the belief in your own abilities. When you have self-confidence, you’re more likely to try new things, set goals, and persevere.
