Tips for Confident Living

• Surround yourself with positivity. If you want to be positive, you must surround yourself with positivity energy. The best way is to surround yourself around positive people. Personally, when I am around negative people, their negative vibe rubs off on me. Most negative people are irritable and have insecurities. If they can not be happy for themselves, they are not going to be happy for you. As for being surrounded by positive people, you feel that everything around you is meaningful. Most positive people believe in everyone and everything has meaning. They will raise you up and never bring you and your hopes down.

• Be kind. Learn to love others. Bitterness can rule over your life and bite you in the end. Even if they are bitter and negative, compliment them.As the lovely Dolly Parton once said, "If you see somebody without a smile, give 'em yours." Personally, receiving compliments from friends, family members or even a random stranger feels amazing. Pass on the positivity. Just like you want to receive it, give it. Compliment even if you feel crumby about yourself.

• Do it for yourself. Tell yourself that you're living you life the way you want, for yourself. Do not allow anyone to tell how to live your life. Remember that you can not meet everyone expectations. Life is too short to satisfy everyone. If something makes you happy and it isn't harmful, enjoy it. Many people have low self esteem due to society's expectations but you're not living for them.

• Learn from your past mistakes. Stop beating yourself for them. The mistake already happened and you can not do anything about. So, what do you do? Learn from them. We are all human. No one is perfect. You have come so far, do not loathe. .

•         Know that you're worth it. There is no one like you in this world. There are millions and millions of human beings, but there is no one like you.
