A Tip for Boosting
Your Confidence..
Stop
Trying to Please Everyone
Else!
An excellent tip
for boosting your confidence is to stop
living for everyone else and start living for yourself.
It's impossible to
make everyone happy, but it's not
impossible to start making yourself happy. Yet, it won't happen if you
are too busy focusing on what you "should have said" or "what others
think of you."
The truth is, if
you like
who you are, it won't matter
what others think of you because you
don't need reassurance that you are worthy.
As an example, I
have spent the majority of my life
caring what others have thought about me. There have been many times
when I would put my needs and wants on the back burner just so I could
please a loved one. Yet, I would wonder why I felt so resentful or
angry when that person wouldn't return the favor.
Since I have
created this website, I have been called
selfish by three of my closest family members. However, I have gotten
to a point in my life where I can no longer allow myself to come in
last, which has meant that I have had to let some loved ones down.
I don't want to
feel angry anymore, and I will not tolerate "put downs" from loved
ones any longer. So, I have decided to assert my needs and wants
because I feel that I deserve to be heard just as much as the next
person.
I believe that
putting oneself first, before pleasing
others, is the most loving thing one could ever do for the self and for
another. The problem is, many people do not understand this form of
thinking.
Boosting your
confidence is just a matter of believing
in yourself. It's up to you to make yourself a
priority. If you don't make a conscious choice to please yourself
first, you may spend an eternity waiting for someone else to do it for
you. Don't let this be you much longer.
