I think you’re amazing.

I think you’re beautiful.

I think you’re brilliant.

I think you’re charming.

I think you’re…

Enough about what I think you are.

What matters more is what you think you are.

Because what you think you are is and should be way more important than what I or anyone else thinks you are.

What you think you are will determine how you act and behave; it will also determine how you show up for yourself and others.

If you’re constantly thinking about how others think you should be then you’ll have to develop multiple versions of yourself because everyone you meet might want you to be something different. However, if you build yourself around the person you think and believe you are, then you will be consistent and more important, congruent with yourself.

The sooner you realize that you’ll never please or earn the admiration of every person you encounter, the better off you’ll be. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be kind, pleasant or respectful to those you meet, it just means that there will be people that like you and people that don’t, and that’s okay.

So instead of thinking about what I or anyone else thinks you are, focus on thinking about the kind of person you think you are. Once you do you’ll develop an inner sense of confidence that won’t be relying on, or looking for validation about what other people think you are.
