Confidence is…not afraid to be ourselves, to show our true colours to the world. To stand out, to have our voices heard, we have to be different and unique in some way. And we all are. Don’t try to hide it by wanting to be “like everyone else.” Because you are not. Celebrate it. Be proud …

Our confidence should be based on our value as human beings, not on the value of our possessions. Measuring our worth in tangibles creates a very fragile sense of self, ready to break by the smallest whiff of doubt or insecurity. You are much more than your “things.”
The ability to “talk the talk”—that is, to say the right things at the right time is, no doubt, a priceless skill. It’s also a brilliant gift—one that can inspire, touch the hearts of others, and make us stand out from the crowd. Eloquence is true gem—it has many proven benefits, but the greatest thing …
To know ourselves well–the good, the bad and the ugly– is crucial in so many ways. Because the way we think of ourselves–high or low–guides our interactions with the world. In return, the way the world sees us and reacts to us, is very much a reflection of these very same self-opinions — that stubborn image we hold in …
Positive self-validations are more than just repeating to ourselves a thousand times a day that we are great. It won’t work, unless we actually believe it. And to believe it, we have to feel that we are worthy, loved, appreciated, respected, and accepted. First and foremost–by ourselves.
To feel confident, we need to trust that there is always a path forward, even in darkest and hardest of times. Because hope breeds confidence, and confidence attracts more hope.
We’ve all had experiences, which we want to forget, or wish we could go back in time and change our behavior, reaction, or words. These incidents often leave us anxious and unhappy with ourselves too. We may ruminate on the happening for days, running it over and over in our heads—what we did wrong, what …
We often think that, in order to gain confidence, we need to change ourselves in some major way. This is not true. Quite often, the only change that we need to truly make is to shift the lens through which we see ourselves and the world. Because confidence is no more just a “mind game”–it’s our own …
I am a fan of the “Divergent” series. Not only because it is a good action-romance-mystery story but also because it raises an intriguing question—one that can certainly become a good Friday-night table topic over a glass of wine. That is—how important exactly are genes in determining our destiny? Is there such a thing as …
We often tend to forget that our “imperfections” are also the things that make us different and unique. They make us stand out in the crowd. Therefore, we should take pride that we are not like everyone else, not be ashamed of it.
