Your best friend is CONFIDENCE. It’s not tangible. It’s not something that someone else can give you. It’s not even something that someone can take away. It is within you.
YOU have to nurture your own confidence. Build it. Mold it. Shape it. Don’t cast your eyes down when you walk into a room.
Hold you head high.
Push your shoulders back.
Meet everyone’s eyes.
Speak your mind.
Stretch.
Take up space.
Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. The worst possible answer you could get, is no. Or yes, depending on the question. Have the confidence to know that you’re not asking for too much.
YOU are not too much.
You are perfect, just the way you are.
Have the confidence to go for what you want. For what you need.
TRUST yourself.
BELIEVE in yourself.
Surround yourself with people that you admire and want to be like.
You want to ask that guy/girl out? Do it. Be assertive. You are a catch. You are worth it. Rejection is nothing compared to the not knowing.
You want a raise? Ask for it. You deserve it. You are valuable. Keep your chin high and walk into your boss’ office and ask for that raise.
You want to start your own business? GO FOR IT. Tell everyone. Tell me. Build your empire. Make it happen. Do the damn thing.
Want to go back to school? I’m all for it! Get that degree. Get that certificate. Take that class. Feed. Your. Mind. Juice your brain. Fill your head with so much knowledge that it hurts. If it is something you want to do, DO IT.
There’s a gym you want to join? JOIN IT. Everyone has to start somewhere. So what if you are the slowest runner. Everyone else was slow as some point too. So what if you can’t lift as much? You can build those muscles. Everyone else had to.
Have a dream? A goal? Start working for it, build it, NOW. You only have so many tomorrows. You can do anything. Be anything. You just have to have the confidence to take that first step. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Seize the now, and make now your bitch.

P.S. We all know that pearls are superior.
