Greetings people of the internet! As I sit down to write this blog having consumed copious amounts of coffee, I realize that this may turn into a very wordy, very philosophical jumble of words taking over your screens- and I couldn't be more excited. Talking about something like self-confidence can turn into a boring- I've heard that all before type of topic- and yet as I type this, coffee in hand I know that this will be anything but. I recently had a conversation with someone, and it brought me to the conclusion that we all are made up of different versions of ourselves. I know, it sounds crazy, but hear me out. We all walk through life and take in experiences that make us who we are. Then, we hold the different versions of ourselves, built from our experiences and only let certain ones out whenever we choose to. For instance- in my everyday life I feel as if I'm made up of two different people- the logical, analytical, and extremely self-confident Hunter in one part of myself and the anxiety-ridden, fearful, self-doubting Hunter in another. Neither of which likes the other and that leads to many internal conflicts. These are just the versions I have in me, but I believe we all have our variations of this. If you agree- try to take notice of when which version of yourself comes out. When you look at it retrospectively, it can get trippy! My favorite version of me is, as you would expect- the self-confident one. I've noticed that when I'm at school or work that's when this version of me is at her strongest. I strap on my game face and give my all to whatever I'm doing. It's like the self-confidence is radiating through my veins to project this mask onto those around me so that they don't see the other versions of me I have tucked away. Probably not the best way to live- but I bet more of you can relate than we would all like to admit. So, where am I going with all of this? Self Confidence is like this miracle drug that enables us to get to a completely different level in life than we ever thought possible. Imagine a world where self-doubt didn't exist, and all anybody did was whatever they could dream up. Would we still have wars, or famine, or incurable disease? Would we have breathtaking architecture, eco-friendly cars, or maybe even floating houses? I say that we should all strive to be that Self Confident, driven, force to be reckoned with a version of us in all situations and see what kind of change we can bring the world. XOXO, Hunter
