Confidence

Dec25

Success

The best choice you could ever make is not to care
What other people think of you. You want to be
The ‘cool’ kid – the one who gets all the attention
And your name is what you want people to mention
All the time, everywhere, but popularity
Is most often a shallow and fleeting affair.

You may think that you’re not enough just because you
Don’t fit in. It means only that you are unique.
A fake diamond ‘appears’ perfect but a real
One has flaws. You want always to be the real deal.
You’re Enough! All the constant approval you seek
Is preventing you from knowing all that is true.

It’s better to be hated for who you are than
To be liked for who you aren’t. Most people judge you
Based on someone’s opinion. You have to believe
In yourself. You have all that you want to receive
Already. Take a more positive point of view.
You can do more for yourself than anyone can.

Don’t trade your dignity for popularity
And don’t dim your light so that others don’t have to
Squint or hide. You were meant to stand out in the crowd.
In a few years you’ll look back on this and feel proud
That you took the time to care enough about you
To allow yourself to live more confidently.

What if I’m strong and confident most of the time?
As a woman I have a hard time letting go
Of my nature when I’m in a relationship.
Past failures are the cause of my current guilt trip.
If I have to give up something how will I grow
As a person? Can I find a union sublime?

It would be such a blessing to find someone who
Can find value in the way I happen to be.
What I want is to not have to change or let go
Of some characteristics of mine. I don’t know
If I could trust myself with someone completely.
I need some kind of guidance on just what to do.

Trust yourself to be able to handle what you
Don’t control. Sometimes you make the right decision
And sometimes you have to make the decision right.
There will be days of darkness but most will be bright.
All will go as you wish if you can envision
Everything about your biggest dream coming true.

You trust other people to the extent that you
Trust yourself to be able to handle the flaws
Of others. You attract what you’re feeling inside.
Be aware of how you feel because it’s your guide
To fulfillment so you need not worry because
You have taken on a positive point of view.
