Why Confidence Is Still Key

"We already prepare ourselves for the worst and we haven't even stood up yet."

Why Confidence Is Still Key
The Huffington Post

A couple days ago a group of people and I were having a conversation on men and women, how we lack a lot of confidence to go up to a person we find cute and say something. Instead we use a middle man. Now! I'll be the first to say that I've done this. I have no room to talk because my confidence in getting up and talking to my crush is very low.

We are human, so we think a bit too much. Yes guys as well. What if they say no, but their friends are at the table with them, they won't like me. We already prepare ourselves for the worst and we haven't even stood up yet. Our what if's control our lives and give us regrets. Speaking of those. That's the biggest part in this all. If you don't get yourself up, walk over and say something, how do you know how it will end? I'll tell you how it will end if you don't do it. In regret. Instead of those what if's before the standing, you now have what if's after it. So here is your first and final step to this all.

BE CONFIDENT!

One of the main things that came up into this conversation was confidence. The question was asked, "so you're saying if I just walked right up to you, smiled, told you, you were cute and then asked for a date you'd say yes." The answer given in return was yes.

Does that sound odd to you? It shouldn't. Confidence makes you 20 times sexier then you were before. If you notice someone looking and smiling at you from the corner of the room, know they are already interested, they already find you cute. You'll become a lot more attractive if you get up and say something, instead of watching them walk away

People have said this many, many times and I know me saying it won't make a difference. The worst that could happen is they say no. My answer to that is if they say no and they don't even know you yet, are they really worth your time?

So here's my advice for you:

Find confidence.

Stand up.

Walk over there.

Say hello.

And let the adventures begin.

You won't regret it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
