Traits I’ve Noticed in Confident People 

Disciplined - if a target is set, it is achieved 

Speaking - Can speak multiple languages. Can express thoughts clearly even if vocabulary is limited. The listener understands their point. 

Strong extroversion socially - can approach and talk to new people with ease, but also make them feel comfortable. Good at following up, asking questions and inserting little stories about themselves without exposing too much 

Strong general knowledge / industry knowledge. They know what they’re talking about 

Hard to please but not arrogant about it. They won’t readily accept a fact or opinion, even if the majority agrees - they’ll debate with it, think over it, play the devil’s advocate

Good posture

Strong set of principles and self control. There’s no shame in wanting to say, help someone, choose not to drink socially, buy a coffee for a poor person on the street; they don’t hesitate to do good deeds 

Hygienic. Clean, groomed, well dressed, well maintained. 

Observant and proactive at the same time. Can pick up on body language relatively easily - can sense discomfort or unease in someone and do something about it. 

Have a strong sense of self identity. Can be opinionated but open to challenges.

as i continue to become a better woman. i’m really starting to understand the importance of remaining silent. everything doesn't need your input or opinion. everyone doesn’t deserve a reaction from you. some situations are really meant to bring you out character. know when to speak up. most importantly know when to remain silent.

Things I'm not afraid to admit as a woman:

• Looks do matter: The more you take care of your looks, the better you feel and the more you attract

• I love taking care of the house: I love cooking, cleaning, doing dishes and taking care of my people.

• I only date healthy masculine men: men that protect me and provide for me. Men that are secure and wants the best for me.

Things I've learned in my early twenties:

• Your education won't leave you

• Money won't leave you

• Looks attract but personality stays

• Hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and lips first

• Get your body moving

• What they don't know, they can't ruin

• A man should love you more

• Manifesting works if you start healing

• Reflect on the people around you

fall in love with taking care of yourself

be vocal with what you want
