You Are Better Than You Think You Are

Be confident. Be you.

You Are Better Than You Think You Are

Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? If so, what did you think? Did think to yourself that you are beautiful, smart, and talented? Or did you think that you need to lose weight and make self improvements? Have you ever been in a room full of people and compared yourself to others, wishing you were more like someone else? Thinner, prettier, smarter, and more talented? I feel that every person has these thoughts at some point in their life, which makes their confidence drop. I am going to be the person that tells you, you are good enough, you are beautiful, unique, and talented. Whether you believe me or not is your choice, but I want you to continue being yourself, because no one else can be you and you can never be someone else. Just like snowflakes, no two individuals are the same.

Self confidence is a key part of life. However, it is a part of life that every individual suffers with at some point. It is hard not to get down on yourself when you see someone you think is better than you. But I guarantee that you have something they don’t have. It is hard to love yourself when we live in such a competitive world. However, respecting and loving yourself is essential for living a life full of happiness, because without confidence, it is hard to be the unique and beautiful individual that you are. How can you ever expect to love someone else if you do not love your own self first?

Have you ever heard someone say that first impressions are everything? They truly are. The first impression you give someone is what they will remember of you. If you hold a lot of self confidence, someone will recognize that about you because it is very evident in one's personality. Remember this next time you are at a job interview. The interviewer will most likely hire the person who holds more confidence. I guess this is why my mother has always told me that confident people go further in life and are more successful.

Next time you are feeling down on yourself, and just do not feel that you are good enough, you are good enough. You are beautiful, unique, and you need to realize that. Here are some quotes to remember for the next time you do not love yourself as much as you should. Just remember, your attitude is everything, believe in yourself, love yourself, and just be you. Everyone else is already taken.

"Confidence makes you sexy" - Queen Latifah

"Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love" - Brene Brown
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different" - Coco Chanel

"Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself." - Coco Chanel

"Don’t waste your energy trying to change opinions. Do your thing, and don’t care if they life it." - Tina Fey

"Being comfortable with who you are is the ultimate threat" - Sean Beaudoin

"When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things." -Joe Namath

"I don’t like to gamble, but if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s myself."e -Beyonce

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
