It’s pretty likely that throughout your life, you’ve been told to “be confident” a million times. Whenever you were embarking on a difficult task, about to do something that requires courage, go on a date, or have a job interview, somebody probably told you to have confidence in yourself. But why exactly is confidence so important, and why should you be confident in yourself? Keep reading, we’ll tell you!

1. There is nobody else exactly like you. That might sound cheesy, but it’s true! There’s nobody else who has had your exact experiences in life, and thinks exactly the way you do. Therefore, there’s no one else that brings the same thing to the table. Everything you do and say is uniquely you! How cool is that!

2. When you radiate confidence, you attract people to you. When you feel truly confident, you exude it. When you exude confidence, people can tell, and it draws people to you. Because of this, when you radiate confidence, it’s easier to land the job, get a second date, make friends, and meet people in general.

3. The more confident you are, the more people will believe in you. If you don’t believe in yourself, other people won’t believe in you, either. Similarly, if you do believe in yourself, it will be easier for people to believe in you, too. 4. If you’re confident about yourself, it will be clear whenever you do anything. When you feel confident, you naturally speak and act with more conviction, and that makes other people take you more seriously. This will make it easier for you to land a job, get a second date, and so on.

5. When you’re confident, you’ll be more respected. Remember when we said that people can tell when you’re confident? Well, people can tell when you’re not confident, too. Unfortunately, the world is full of people who will walk all over those whom they perceive to be less confident than them. If you are confident, and stand up for yourself, you will encounter fewer of these people.

6. You have a better chance at being successful in all that you do. If you walk around thinking negative thoughts about yourself, you’re setting yourself up for failure. If you don’t think highly of yourself, like we said above, it will be hard for anyone else to. If you try your best, go for what you want, and aren’t afraid to talk yourself up a little, you are more likely to succeed.

7. Confident attracts confident. You’re more likely to meet other confident people if you exude confidence. This can lead to networking and business opportunities, as well as just meeting cool new people. 8. The more confident you are, the higher your self-esteem will be. You’re thinking, “Wait, but isn’t that the same thing?” Not quite! Although confidence and self-esteem are similar, confidence refers to how you present yourself in the world, and self-esteem refers to how you truly about yourself. If you have high self-esteem, your confidence will be higher, and vice versa. 9. Confidence makes it easier to navigate life. When you are sure of who you are in the world, it becomes much easier to go through life. Having a general attitude of “I got this!” tends to make tricky situations much less tricky. 10. You have no reason not to be confident. You’re awesome!

Thinking negative thoughts about yourself just makes it easier for others to think of you negatively. Why would you want that? Everything you have to offer is uniquely you. You should be proud of who you are! When you truly believe you’re awesome, the whole world knows. When the whole world knows, doors just start opening up. What do you hope to achieve this summer? Whatever it is, we know you can do it!Grow, live, and change the world. Keep growing and inspiring.
