Confident

Become so confident in who you are that no one’s opinion, rejection, or behavior can rock you. (8-Images. Blogspot)

I never thought that I would be the one to say these things over myself because of all the sadness in the world today. I have to make sure that every day I wake up with the sole purpose of becoming more confident than I was a day ago. I do care about other’s opinions if they are in my inner circle, so when my inner circle starts to give me rejections about a decision that I am about to make that could hurt me, I pause to hear them out. Even if my inner circle starts behaving differently than I am used to with them, that doesn’t mean that it is terrible. All that tells me is that I need to refocus my intentions on what I am trying to do because my inner circle is the ones that are going to make sure that they hold me accountable for reaching the goals that I have set for myself.

I am glad that there is no one else like me on this planet because if there were two of me, I honestly don’t know if I could handle it. I mean, I already have a hard time dealing with just one of me, so the fact of having two of me is funny to think about because I know where I have come from and where I am going.

I love the new me and everything that comes with it. I know that I am not perfect, but I am relaxed because I don’t need to be. All I need to do is keep striving for more and do better the next time around. We all have those weak mental moments where we feel and think that we know that we are not good enough, but that is not true. You are good enough, and if you feel you need outside reassurance, double back to your inner circle and see if they can see what you can’t see to help you fix things.

You have one life, and I know that I will not waste one more minute on someone who is not invested in me the same way I have shown my investments in them. I know that this sounds selfish, and it is supposed to be because I am in charge of my emotions, not others. Sometimes it does get a bit crazy because you tend to get stuck in the mental and emotional roller coaster rides of feelings that are not that important in the end.

I will always speak highly over myself because I know that I have more hatters trying to tear me down. I know that they intend to try to destroy me, but that is just not going to happen because I know the women inside me. The women inside me have a lot of offer this world and others that come into her space. Even knowing these things, there are days that I still feel like what is the use. I know that I have done everything I could to keep the drama and negative energy at a distance, but somehow it still comes my way.

In the end, I am going always up to lift and build myself up first before I began to lift and make others. I can not give you what you didn’t work for, and I sure as hell am not going to let you destroy my inner peace just because you feel like you can walk all over me verbally. You know that if you don’t want it done to you, then don’t do it to someone else. Many people miss this lesson because they are always on this secondary, temporary high of getting things their way by any means. You are neglecting the fact that they are the ones with issues too. They tend to look down on you like you are the one with the problem because you are doing things for yourself that you have never done, and you are happy about the accomplishments that you have made. Some people want you to stay broken so that they can feel better about not taking action for their sorry-ass ways.

I am not throwing shade at anyone. All I am saying is this; I will forever keep building my self-confidence up to the point that no matter what you think you know about me, I will always come out on top and show you a trick you will never forget.
