Good, Confident People
Do you ever look at other people and just wish that you had their confidence? Some just seem to ooze confidence, whether this is sex appeal, fashion sense, kindness or intelligence.
Some people I meet and I just know they are good people. They are kind and good and you never have a bad word to say about them. There are those people who are so nice it drives me mad, but then there are those good people who could never drive anyone mad. At least, that is the way I see them.
Perhaps what I have described are different types of people: the confident, and the good. These do not always go hand in hand, sometimes they are complete opposites. Though these qualities are both things I aspire towards.
Often, good people can be full of self-doubt. They may be so good-natured that they let everyone else come before them and do not stand up for themselves. In many ways my boyfriend is like this - at least in my eyes, there is nobody in this world who could not agree that he has a good heart. Yet I know he has, at least in the past, been haunted by issues of self-esteem. Recently things have improved for him, thankfully, though he never sees the person I see when I look at him.
Then there are those who seem so utterly confident in themselves, their personalities and their bodies. Often this self-confidence can be mistaken, and is closely followed by arrogance. Though in many ways it is an admirable quality. Often I watch actors and imagine filling their roles. I always come to the conclusion that I wouldn’t be able to do it, I would get scared, I would blush, people would think I was silly.
Yet that is the point. When you have confidence in yourself, it doesn’t matter what people think. When you know you are doing the right thing, following the right path in life, it shouldn’t matter what people think. I just wish it was so easy to believe in what you are meant to do and who you want to be. Self-confidence must be what allows people to reach their complete potential.
