Unlocking the Confidence Within

In today's modern world, women are rising to the forefront. However, many of us have hidden our precious qualities beneath external influences. It's time to reclaim our self-confidence and unleash our true potential.

A self-confident person knows what they need to be happy and fearlessly pursues it. We are all born with the inherent belief that we can conquer the world, but as we navigate life, external pressures can erode our self-assurance. Whether it's the harsh realities we face or the expectations placed upon us, the impact is profound.

To rediscover our true selves and regain our self-confidence, we must let go of external influences. Here are some practical tips to guide you on this empowering journey:

1. Embrace your "flaws" as strengths. Often, what we perceive as imperfections are invisible to others. Rather than hiding what you desperately want to hide, embrace your uniqueness and find liberation.

2. It's impossible to please everyone, and trying to do so will only hinder your personal growth. Learn to say no for the sake of your well-being.

3. Embrace the strength and freedom to accept rejection. It may be intimidating, but remember that a no should never be taken personally.

4. Comparing yourself to others is fruitless. Focus on your own progress and growth, respecting your own journey without the need for comparison.

5. Stop doubting yourself. You have the knowledge and wisdom to navigate your path.

6. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength. No one has all the answers, and it's perfectly okay to ask for assistance when needed.

7. Prioritize your own interests without guilt. It's not about being selfish, but about taking care of your own well-being.

8. Embrace gratitude in every situation. Seek the positive even in challenging times; it's difficult but not impossible.

True confidence comes from embracing who you are. There is unparalleled joy in being your authentic self, facing the world head-on without fear of judgment or hurting others. It's not about selfishness, but about finding your own happiness and spreading joy to those around you. Embrace your inner power, unlock your confidence, and let your true self shine.

Nine Easy Apps to get up to $500 Advanced Instantly

Photo by Yan Krukov Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency.

Dating After 40: Why You Deserve a Man Who's Done the Work

I'm 44, and while I'm no expert, I believe women in their 40's should have a different outlook on dating than those in their younger years. As we age, our priorities change. We reach a point where we no longer have time for "projects." And that includes men who don't have their shit together. At this age a man should be stable, both financially and emotionally. We've invested time and energy building ourselves up and we deserve a partner who has done the same. Once you reach a certain age, you can no longer afford to invest your time and energy into someone who isn't on the same page as you. You've spent years working on yourself and improving your life. You've invested time and money into your education, career, and personal growth. You've learned the importance of taking care of your physical and mental health. So why should you settle for a man who hasn't done the same? A man who has done the work is someone who is emotionally matu...

A Weak Man Hates Anything that Challenges Him to Be Better

Let's talk about weak men. We've all come across them. The ones who blame others for their shortcomings. The ones that struggle with accountability and reject anything that challenges them to be better. In essence - the narcissistic and self-centered ones. It is not easy to deal with these men, especially when you find yourself romantically involved with them. Weak men often have fragile egos, and anything that threatens their little fragile sense of self is perceived as a threat. We have to understand that these men are not secure within themselves, and they rely on external validation to feel good about themselves. Therefore, when you try to challenge them to be better, they feel like you are attacking them, and they become defensive. They cannot handle criticism, and they struggle with personal growth. One of the reasons why weak men struggle with personal growth is that they are afraid of change. They are comfortable in their current ways, and they are not willing to step o...

No More Tears - written by Juanita Harris

This is a poem about leaving an abusive relationship. It is published in my book "RIP-Rejection, Inspiration & Peace." released in May of this year. Let me know what you think. No More Tears I’ve dropped a million tears for you, But I shall drop no more. I lived my life in fear of you, But I shall fear no more. I put my pride Aside For you, But now I’m walking out the door. You see, I put my dreams aside for you. Did anything You wanted me to. I cooked your meals And ironed your clothes. I made love to you All nightlong. I was devoted to you And still You did me wrong. I supported you Through the hardest times. I’ve paid bail and lawyer’s fees. I brought you in whatever you needed Be it cigarettes Or weed. I sat through visitations Twice a week, But when you got out (of jail) I was your last priority. Everyday You would say That you love me. But you took away My dignity, With bruises And beatings And nights Of laying beside you, Crying While you’re sleeping. Yeah, I’...

Ex... (P1.3)

I knew it. All the signs were there. This man flipped the script so fast! We were just in love and planning on starting our business so we could really build something. Ex had enrolled in school and began classes. Soon after, he started going out without me. He was staying out really late. At family events he sat in a corner with his face in his phone texting and smiling instead of talking with the guys. I wasn't stupid. I confronted him and he denied any wrong doing. I waited up for him so many nights. The bars closed at 2:00 am. Sometimes he didn't make it home until 5 or 6. He said he was at the "after hour." I called him a liar. I argued with him every day. I bitched and yelled, and he wouldn't tell me the truth. I tried talking and reasoning with him, but he wouldn't tell me the truth. I had to find out on my own. So I did. After only three months...

Are you Too Nice?

Can being too nice be a relationship liability? When we think of someone as "nice," we often regard it as a positive quality to have. Being nice is frequently associated with traits such as kindness, empathy, and respect towards others. However, there are circumstances in which being too nice can signify a more significant problem. People who are too nice may struggle with setting boundaries, expressing their opinions, and making their voices heard. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of being "too nice" and how it can be a liability in a relationship. Photo by Kampus Production When Niceness is Not Genuine Niceness One of the main reasons why being "too nice" can be a liability is that it is not always genuine. Some people may be excessively nice as a way of avoiding conflict or pleasing others. Niceness, in this case, is a by-product of low self-esteem, a lack of assertiveness, or a fear of rejection. When you are constantly trying to please o...

Unalienable Rights

Way back in 1776 the Continental Congress voted in favor of its independence from England. Two days later on July 4th, the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence which states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATER WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, THAT AMONG THESE ARE LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." With stolen land and free labor white supremacists built the very system that we still use today. People of African decent were not considered to be American citizens. We were property. Natives were killed and forced into small areas; their kids taken and put into orphanages where they cut off their hair and abused them. White women couldn't vote, work or inherit any of their family's estate. The only people who had inalienable rights in this country were white men. People: It is 244 years later and many Americans are still fighting for their basic God given rights! 🔸The r...

Stop Dating Needy Men. You're not the Goodwill

Ladies, it's time to stop dating needy men. You know the ones I'm talking about, the guys who seem to only take from the relationship and never give back. The ones who drain your energy, demand your attention and always need you to do something for them. If you're tired of being the Goodwill of your relationships and donating your vagina to men who don't deserve it, then this post is for you. First, let me clarify what I mean by “needy men.” These are men who are incapable of doing anything for themselves and believe that the world owes them something. They are the ones who always need you to babysit them emotionally or financially. When you’re dating a needy man, you are the one doing all the heavy lifting in the relationship. You're paying for the majority of expenses, driving them around, and picking up their messes. Let me emphasize the importance of reciprocity in relationships. Relationships should be about give and take. When you're doing everything for ...
