5 Things Every Girl Needs To Remember When It Comes To Confidence

In This Article:

This is a message for every girl — the hurt, the belittled, the silenced. Being a girl does not mean that you are anything less than a person. You have the ability to do anything and be whoever you want to be. These are a few things that you need to remember when you get put down, either by others or simply yourself.

1. You do not need other people to make you happy 

Many girls are under the assumption that you need a significant other, or a large group of friends to stay happy. This is very inaccurate. To be happy, a person only needs a few close and trusted people and a good mindset. Having the ability to be confident and find joy in the little things in life, is the true key to happiness.

2. Pleasing others is not necessary 

Every day, girls make decisions based on what they believe will make other people happy. It is unnecessary. Do what you want to do. There is no point in giving yourself stress or regret, for another person's happiness. Live your life for you and no one else.

3. You are more than an object 

You are a person. You have emotions, values, and feelings, that should never be compressed or taken away from you. No one has the right to force you to do anything. If you feel like you are being treated as less than a human, remove yourself from the toxic situation. It will be the hardest, but most freeing feeling ever.

4. Speak your mind 

Don't be silenced. Be strong and opinionated. If there is something you are unhappy with, change it. If there is a problem, resolve it. Never settle for anything less than for what you see fit. Your thoughts deserve to be heard, so let the world hear them!

5. Be the best YOU you can be

You are fantastic the way you are. Don't let others' expectations of you define you. As long as you always put in all you have, you are doing great. There is no need to compare yourself to others. The only way you can achieve your personal peak is by being yourself.

Don't let anyone or your thoughts get you down. Everyone deserves to be heard. You have a purpose, no matter what anyone else thinks or says. You are a person inside of a body, not just an object. Live your life for yourself and be the best version of yourself you can be.

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.
