Here is a snippet of my journey towards becoming confident in myself and what I do.

Let’s talk. You me me, you talking for real being confident is a work in progress and it still is when I was younger I was very envious of my siblings because they kind of always had an idea of what they wanted to do when they were little and then they just like went for it and kept going for it but for me it was like I had no idea what I wanted to do and like I don’t know, I was mediocre at a lot of things so it’s very hard to decide you know what one thing am I gonna do but you know like I figured if I get involved in a lot of things I can get exposed to many different things and then I can decide you know maybe I’ll stumble upon the one thing.
00:00:43
That I really like to do, and then you stick with it. But then I got involved in like photography, I got involved in a lot of sports, I got involved in like social issues clubs, and I was also involved in science stuff, I was involved in the fashion show, was involved in plays. Like I was just involved in so many things, and I just couldn’t decide what I wanted to do, and I never really took the time to figure it out either, so that was kind of my issue there. I was just hoping I would stumble upon it because somebody put it in my face, kind of thing. But the thing is, you can’t live life like that. The only person that can figure out what you want is you.
00:01:20
And that’s very hard to do if you don’t even understand or know yourself, so the first step that I had to take was take the time to figure out who I am, like who am I, what do I like, what do I want, what makes me happy, what kind of things do I enjoy, and what kind of things do I not enjoy, you know what I mean? Like take the time and just assess your life and assess yourself, and then build a strong, healthy relationship with yourself. And then as soon as you kind of understand yourself, then you understand: okay, I know that I want to inspire, so from now on everything I should do should lead me to doing that one thing, and I think that’s why I’ve grown.
00:02:16
To be so confident now, it’s because I’ve taken the time to figure out who I am. I’ve taken the time to figure out what I want, and now it’s just a matter of bringing all of that into action and bringing it into fruition, and making something beautiful out of that. Um, I guess another thing too that’s helped me become very confident about this is that I’m very picky about the people that I surround myself with. I think it’s important to surround yourself with people that are like-minded and with people that support you, because it’s very hard to you know have your heart set on something when all the people around you are telling you You know, that’s sucks.
00:02:56
Don’t do that; it’s so hard to stick with it, so surround yourself with people that are supportive and will help you grow, and you know what? If all else fails, fake it till you make it. I mean, I can appear very confident, but trust me, sometimes I’m just faking it. So, I guess that’s my answer for how I’m so confident about this whole thing. I think it’s because it’s really in alignment to what I want in my life, that’s why I’m so confident. Okay, so what’s next? Well, I’m finally gonna jumpstart my travel vlog and take all of you guys to the Philippines with me! Whoa, super exciting!
