I use to believe some have it and some don't. I was wrong.

I use to believe quiet was shy and loud was not. I was wrong.

It wasn't until I put being confident in the back seat and started focusing on being simply just the person I wanted to be that confidence showed up in my life.

I stated to observe people who seemed to be emotionally balanced, calm, relaxed that I started to understand that being confident wasn't what I needed to focus on. I needed to simply improve what I already was. And I just kept doing that.

Confidence ultimately comes from progressing in life. The progress at every stage provides enough self belief and then that is when we start becoming truly confident. That's the kind of effortless confidence that took my insecurities away, my shyness away, and even reduced my anxieties ❤

• Treat yourself with respect, courtesy and encouragement

• Keep negative emotions at bay with meditation and presence

• Pick up a book on being assertive and practice it

Confident is definitely a choice and all it takes is improving but a tiny bit every day.
