confidence by brandi ciara
One of the best kept secrets in life is your confidence. However,
somebody, somewhere tricked you into believing you're not good enough.
They told you that there were certain things you could not do because of
who you were. Who you're trying to be. Who you are. Someone else told
you that only certain people could do or be the very thing you wanted to be
and you did not fit the bill (ie: successful lawyer, famous actor, a great girlfriend, a good father, etc.). You presented yourself & your goals to them & they turned you down and made you feel like you were not one of those people that can achieve those things. With a sleight-of-hand manipulation of facts, someone made you think you didn't have what it takes, so they took it. Someone told you that you were slow, or lazy; too fat, too skinny; butt too big, butt too flat; crazy or too quiet; or just flat out not good enough. How dare they? And you believed that? They done tricked youinto believing what they wanted you to believe. They knew who you were and knew you had no idea.......no idea that you could have placed a stop to everyone (or one individual) from convincing you that you're just not good enough. You know better then that. Where's your confidence? Your esteem? Your security? You gonna let THEM tell you what you're capable of doing and achieving? Each of us brings to the world unique talents, gifts and abilities. Even if you don't know what it is, or value what you do, someone, somewhere, will benefit from your presence. No one can do what you do exactly the way you do it. So if she tells you you're not good enoughfor her because of your "flaws" so be it. If he tells you that you're not "glamorous" enough for him, OH THE FUCK WELL. Always remember and never forget, you are just as unique and as valuable as the other. Never allow anyone or anything to limit your mind because of your race, color,
gender expression, style of fashion, work experience, non-existent college
degrees or body type. Trust me...you're not missing out on anything. It's
their loss. Not yours. When you do what you do, exactly the way you do it,
someone will adore you just for that. Without reading all the fineprint.
