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 have decided that I don't want to feel resentful and angry anymore. Likewise, 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. However, you have to make a choice 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.
