Radiate Confidence

This is a lesson I have learned early on in my life. I knew that confidence was something that was felt from within. It doesn't matter what our exterior looks like. I think many people get this concept backwords. People focus so much on the exterior of themselves that they don't nourish themselves from the inside. People spend so much money on fancy clothes, designer handbags and expensive make-up and with each purchase still coming up empty, emotionally. Confidence is something that can't be purchased at boutique or at a beauty counter. Confidence is non-tangle. We can not put a price tag on it, nor can we purchase it. It is something that money can't buy no matter how hard we try.
I always knew, what one feels from the inside would be projected to the outside world. Good or bad. Even though I was physically different, I always had confidence in myself. I saw people buying into the "fake" realism that money, great house or expensive car would create a better world for themselves. That if the could just obtain one more thing, they to, would feel they "belonged." It seemed to me that they were "chasing" a belief that someone else deemed worthy. I wondered if the slowed down to take a look inside themselves, would they really need what they thought they did? Would one more handbag equal happiness, self-confidence and self-worth? I don't think so!
Self-Confidence comes from a special place. It derives from happiness, self-respect, great attitude and above all loving yourself. When I say love yourself, I mean being happy in your own skin with all of your faults and shortcomings. Living by the concept, that you aren't perfect and embracing that. Remembering, it is the human experience to not acquire perfection. Some could say, "Why is that girl so confident, she only has one arm?" My response is quite simple, "I embrace my differences and my uniqueness." I am proud of it. In fact, I like to put it out there for the world to see. I know that confidence dwells within me and I project that to everyone I encounter. Having confidence is shifting to an idea that you believe in yourself. I want you to believe that you are beautiful (inside and out), smart and capable of your accomplishing your goals. I want you to exude happiness for the world for to see. You will be surprised how people take notice of your new behavior. When you love yourself, others will to.
I also want to share with you a secret. Once you have a healthy balance of your "idea" of self, you will have harmony in your life. Which in turn, will radiate more self-confidence, for to the world to see!

Stay tuned for more adventures,
