I never really sit down and think about how much having confidence brings to your life. Confidence makes such a crazy difference to your lifestyle and how you live each and every day. I can’t speak for everyone, but I for one know that if I had a lot more confidence, I’d be living a very different life. I think we all have potential to do so much, but so many of us are held back from our lack of confidence. Things like showcasing your singing skills, your talent with an instrument, drawing, dancing, etc. Think about all the opportunities we miss out on because we are so afraid we won’t do well or don't think we are good enough. But what do we do to build and boost our confidence? I think it starts with loving yourself truly and accepting everything about you that makes you you and unique. Then I think you have to stop focusing on what other people think of you or of what you do, and realize that other opinions don’t matter. If you're happy, that's all that should matter. Be confident in the decisions you make, stop second guessing yourself and trust yourself. I feel like those are all key components to building confidence. Watch how much of a better life you will start living when you stop looking for validation from others, trust yourself, feel good about yourself, and the things you do.
