Being Assured

My late 20s has taught me so much about how to be assured of myself; it was—and still is--not easy because there is a part of me that always want to prove to others of my worth and please others. We want to feel accepted and fit in with society and not to hurt anyone’s feelings and sometimes, it’s because of this, we become more unassured of ourselves every single day since we are allowing other people to determine and do the thinking for us.

Being assured means we know who we are and know what we want out of life. We can think for ourselves and appreciate ourselves without having any other external factors play a part of; it takes a lot of trial and error to get to that point and we will have to pass through many frustrations and hardships in order to get to that stage.  There is a saying that life is simple but it’s not easy; the simplicity of reaching the self-assured path has a simple formula but getting there will require a lot of concentration, endurance, and motivation. The formula is to practice every single day being decisive of your daily decisions and actions and eventually our confidence will grow. But in the end, all the sweat and frustration will be worth it when we remember where we are going is more important than where we are today.
