20 & staying true to yourself.

20 & staying true to yourself. 

One important key to success is self-confidence.

I will start by saying that if you know and love yourself, you will find it effortlessly to be true to yourself. 

A mentor of mine once told me that and it stuck with me ever since.

Why live a life where you aim to please others?

In our 20's we are peer pressured to drink, take drugs or simply do something we are not comfortable with.. and for what? To be popular? To be in the "in crowd"? It's not worth it because at the end of the day you look in the mirror and think "why the $%*# did I do that?!".

Don't pretend to be someone else. 

Why live in a lie?

We are in the digital era of communication. We use it every hour on the hour.

EX:  Twitter, Instagram, FB, Snapchat etc.. where people are often comparing themselves to others. (this goes to both males & females) BE WHO YOU ARE!

As the saying goes, "You can't love anyone else until you love yourself."  & it's 100% true.

How are you willing to give your all to someone when you're not even sure who you are?

Which often leads to a bad relationship because then you start to change what you like to do for fun only please the opposite sex. At the end of the day you're confused & unhappy.

So take a minute to reflect on yourself! What do you want to do with your life? Where do you want to be in five years? What's your favorite music genre? Where do you want to travel? 

Go have some me-time and take care of yourself first. 

Just think.. you need to love yourself like Kanye loves himself. (yes I just said that) but its true, the man has so much self-confidence it needs to start rubbing off on everyone. 

Respect yourself and others will respect you.
