Practice the portmanteau -Selfidence

Well for those avid dictionary users, before you get into conclusions, let me tell you that this word 'Selfidence' is my own creation. Probably it has emerged due to my liking for the portmanteaus.
                                               But yeah, this article concerns more about the thought delivered by the coined term, and not about the portmanteau!. When recalling our High School days, where we were exposed to the so called blended words called portmanteau words, considering the most standard and common example our teachers taught us "smoke+fog=smog", the word "Selfidence" is  no hard to guess. Yes, It is the blending of two most important priceless words, "Self" and "Confidence".
All of us know that we lack this self confidence , many a time in our life. But it is ironical that we have started losing the "self", meaning oneself and also confidence at present and thereby adjourning the entire word .
                                                Now what is this self confidence? How will it be useful in life?I know  these questions seem so familiar and rekindling as I am sure all of us would have  had our doze of advice on these things, when we were young. Considering the former, let me give you an instance which describes this self-confidence. You are put to test, with some biggest and the toughest task. Your brain, thinking that it's being more systematic and diplomatic, comes to a blind conclusion that this job is not apt for you, and you cannot yield the result. But this heart of yours, trying to give counter to this impetuous brain, irks you. Somewhere deep down your heart, you will fell that you can do it, and if not you who will do it. As a forest fire, this tiny feeling starts spreading and finally recharges your thinking, giving you that confidence to take up things boldly. Yes. This is what is self confidence. To put it in simple terms, it is the simplest, no-cost tool that makes you believe that you are worth it, to do anything and  end it in success.Even if you feel that your life is improving its shades of balefulness and fear starting to behave as a poltergeist , stealing your inner peace and calm mind ,don't panic. This self confidence can make you wake up from the bed of sorrows, fear , doubts, stress and your nadirs. It makes you more happy and proud of yourself , giving you a cheerful smile and stress free feeling. Isn't that the most important part of life?. If not you, who will make up your life? Who can live it for you? Who can face your hardships? Who can achieve laurels?So gear up your Selfidence and walk the happiest path of your life. We are tuned to memorize formulas! If it's easy to learn up your differential equations and page-long formulae and derivations in minutes, I hope "Self+Confidence=Selfidence" won't take you seconds .:)
