Confidence. What a simple, yet so important word.

As humans, we tend to dwell on the negatives and focus on our insecurities more than we should! In my opinion, this kind of mindset does nothing but bring us down. Unfortunately, I think we can all agree that we are our own worst enemy. But you know what, it doesn't have to be that way! Try a new mindset for a change, instead of looking in the mirror and saying, “Ugh, I look so fat", start saying something you love about your physical appearance.

Better yet, just take the time to compliment yourself whether it's on how you approached a situation or how good your pants look on you! Remembering to love yourself will build up that courage, that positivity, that CONFIDENCE in yourself that you will do great things today and the next day. It all begins with a mindset, if you radiate confidence, I guarantee you will see things a little brighter.

As confidence is attractive, it could open new doors to your love life, the workforce, and more. Nobody wants to be around someone or hire someone who doubts their abilities. Be confident in what you can do, show compassion. Don't worry if you don't look a Victoria's Secret Angel...NEWS FLASH: most of us don't. There are many types of beautiful, and you, my friend, are one of them. But hey, don't let me tell you that. Go tell yourself that!

Special thanks to my wonderful sisters of Kappa Delta at Arizona State University for helping me learn to go about life confidently and how to instill that in others around me. The best leaders are the confident ones. So take it from myself and KΔ, and go confidently.
