Inspired: confidence

Even the most arrogantly confident of people have a little bit of self-doubt in them. It's what pushes them to be better, to become "perfect". It seems like we're always on a journey to figure out our purpose in life. We're trying to find out who we are and where we belong. And sometimes when you don't have all the answers, the feelings of uncertainty can be nerve-wrecking.One of my favorite designers, Diane von Fürstenberg, sheds some insightful thoughts about confidence.

The most important relationship you have in life is the relationship you have with yourself. No matter what happens, you always have yourself. Every pain, every joy, every satisfaction - you always have yourself...In order to like yourself, first you have to be tough with yourself. You have to be demanding on yourself, you have to be true to yourself, you have to know what's good about you, what's not good about you. And you have to always say the truth.Once you have that relationship, then it's true friendship.

The best and most fulfilling relationship you can ever have is the one you build with yourself. Be your own best friend. Build yourself up. Watch your confidence grow.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XI2LASVKB4]ml
