Confidence?

There’s nothing more sexy.

Confidence is smooth, elegant, subtle, and fun. Confidence creates trust. Confidence rocks the boat.

Confidence doesn’t mean cocky, narcissistic, fearful or cynical. No. Confidence is being tough and relentless and disregarding criticism and following your convictions.

Seth Godin is confident. Sean Parker too.

A confident person walks in a room with a smile. He’ll do whatever it takes to make you smile.

A confident person say’s she’s an amaaaazing singer just because she can, and then walks into work loudly singing her favorite song on the radio.

A confident person forgives first. She doesn’t need to play that ego game.

You know what I’d really, really like you to know? No one is born confident. It’s not a gift. It’s a choice.

Every day we get a chance to charm someone.

And it doesn’t mean you have to be confident all the time. The game is to be confident once. And then perhaps again.

Small steps, ok?

Take care,
James
