How to improve your confidence in yourself?

Confidence, some people just ooze with confidence, and some people look like they could use some. If you are one of those people who could use some, you have come to the right place. Before I go ahead with the pointers on improving confidence within yourself, let help you understand why you need it in the first place. In one of my blogs, I discuss the power of words. If you wish to be someone who wants to run the world, you need to be confident in yourself. If you want to grow in your life, socially and professionally, you need to have confidence in yourself. But of course, you need to learn there is a fine line between confidence and being a stubborn bull. Being confident does not mean you stop taking suggestions and advice it means having faith in yourself and the work you are doing.  Always remember self-confidence is the key to your super Saiyan mode So, what can you do to improve your self-confidence?  Answer  1) Work on your lifestyle.  One of the common reasons for people to lac

Why should you be open to advice?

  Wars are fought with weapons but won with advisers.  Many of us are at a stage of life where we do not wish to be told what we should or should not do, especially when it comes to our personal choices like drinking, smoking, careers, etc. We prefer to learn by mistakes rather than learning by choice, which is good but only in some cases.  We need to understand the importance of taking advice in life, not only from our elders but sometimes from the ones who are younger than us. I might sound a little old school in the concept, but in reality, we must learn to take advice in every step of our life. Why? The answer is simple. The world is full of people, and many of them have experienced things that we might have never even thought of, so when you ask for a piece of advice from your elder or someone who you consider wise, they might be able to tell you a different perspective towards the problem, or sometimes even give you the answer to the problem. Kings never fought a war without havi

How to say 'no' ?

It is said that "no" is the shortest sentence in English, which I think is true. Even though it's a very simple word, it takes up a lot of courage to say no. Why is that? the answer is simple because we as humans have the tendency to please everyone, we seek validation, we try to make everyone happy and because of this tendency, we end up saying yes to things we really don't want to do. When we those things which we wanted to say no too, we end up doing it half heartldly and that ends up just making thing awkward and uncomfortable for both parties.  When a person learns to say 'no', he or she does not only feel empowered but also grows as an indivuial. Now, you might be thinking that the stuff I just said is common knowledge the bigger question is how to say no?  Here is the answer -  1) Don't think much about it.   It is good to consider other peoples feeling, but if we end up diving in too deep we end up loosing our own self. So, don't think so hard

Words - Human Superpower

All of us have been born with superpowers, abilities that make us superhumans. I am going to talk about one of those abilities today, that ability is the ability of words. Words that come out of our mouths are so strong, they can break the hardest person in the room. Words with the correct personality can cause massive destruction, for example, Hitler. Words hold so much strength, you can either make a person or break a person with one speech.  Marketing is all about words, cheating someone is all about how good you are with your words, and just like the last few examples, many other professions depend on how good a person is with his or her words. Facts that are total bullshit can be turned into reality because of the words that came out of our mouth, that is the power words hold.  Often times as young adults we end up saying things without considering the consequences of the words we use. It is very important to always be conscious of the kind of words we are using to deliver a messa

'Self obsession' vs 'Self love'

If you have ever said the following lines in your life, know that you are arrogant. Let me know in the comments if this sounds familiar " I will do what I want, I do not care about what you think about me" or "I love the way I am, I don't need to change" If these lines sound familiar then you, my friend are self-obsessed, you may think it is self-love or you being cool, but it is not. You are just being an arrogant person, who is self-obsessed and refuses to improve him or herself.  Now, I know I sound a little harsh in my tone, but I feel it has become very important for people to know the difference between self-obsession and self-love. Changing yourself for the better is not a bad thing . Self-love means to be open to criticism, to be open to improvements, to be open to make yourself a better person than yesterday. It does not mean you brag about your flaws. Let me explain to you with the help of an illustration; let's say you are a bad listener, now a fr

Against the winds

Recently a wise old man told me, to never give up. He told me this when I was down on my knees; lost, defeated, and broken. When he said those words to me, I thought he just saying it to me because that is the right thing to say when you see someone down on the ground, but he did not just stop there. He continued saying, there is no such thing as 'bad luck'  it is only your mind that stops you from trying hard the next day, your own mind that tells you to feel defeated. If you put your heart and soul in something, even 100 days of defeat won't matter to you because the zeal that you would have in your heart to achieve that goal will be so much stronger than the feeling of defeat.  When you feel like things are not going according to your way or are against you; just stand still, breathe, and then plan your next move . You don't always have to fight the wind that is against you, sometimes all you have to do is stand ground, wait for a little and as soon as you see an ope

Individuality

 Often times relationships ask for a lot of your own time, which is a good thing if you wish to grow together and learn about each other.  Before I start with what I have learned over the past few years by being in a relationship and seeing relationships all around me, I wish to let you know that I strongly believe in sacrifices and a little compromise to make a relationship work. Now, that being said, I also believe 2 people who are in a relationship need to understand that they are there own individuals as well. What do you mean by that? It means to be the same person as you were before getting in a relationship, having the same dreams, still having some 'me' time. As young adults when we land in a relationship we often get too lost in it, we try so hard to be loved and cared for we make our significant others personality and choices our own, which is alright to some extent but too much of it can be harmful to self-growth because if by a stroke of bad luck it does not work ou
