Personal Note On Self Love And Confidence

Self confidence is the foundation of success, achievement, and happiness. Unfortunately, the foundation of self confidence can become shaky and unstable if someone that you look up to as a role model hurts your self esteem and courage. One of the biggest role models in my life used to be my first club soccer coach. He seemed brilliant, passionate, and willing to work with my team. This man soon became the complete opposite of what I hoped he would be. I soon realized that he was a two faced liar and one of the most awful people I have ever met. Little did my ten year old self know he would be the downfall of my self confidence and he would slowly destroy any passion I had for the sport I loved all with only a few words.

A person with a strong sense of self esteem will have a more positive outlook on life and will be strong enough to handle difficult situations through life.

To have a positive outlook on life we all have to gain confidence physically and mentally. We can attain self-confidence overtime; we need it in order to be successful in life. Although, it is difficult in our society to attain high level self-esteem due to picture perfect images, plastic surgery, and surreal role models. Low self-esteem is not only in women it is in men; everyone has some sort of low self-esteem because as humans none of us are perfect.

I will be visiting Raleigh in late August; a few potential matches may still be interested in correspondence.

feelings and thoughts fueled my low confidence. People say if you fake it enough, it eventually becomes like second skin. I decided to fake confidence. I continued my bubbly facade. I looked in the mirror and repeated to myself that I’m allowed to love myself.

I, Moin Ahmed and my spouse Ismat Ara, continuing our married life since August 22, 2014. I have been working in a prestigious university, as a Lecture since April 8, 2012, and getting a lump sum salary. My organization already provided me No Objection Certificate which is attached with this application and there it is mentioned that, my institution will have no objection if I go abroad to reunite with my spouse, and I will get leave of absence and will be able to join in the same organization after coming back in my country. This NOC is giving me the opportunity to apply for this visa and accompany my wife in her hard times when she is struggling to cope up with a new culture and new environment.

I’d shrunk from a waist of 36 to a 32 and sprouted from 5’4 in height to 5’10 which was taller than most boys in my grade. I still wasn't ripped like the Hollister models, but I began to grow in self-confidence which was the importance of the my journey through school . I began to care less about what others possessed that I didn't and spent more time appreciating what I naturally had all along. I can't swim, but I'm a good long distance runner. I’m not the best athlete, but I have a 4.0 GPA. Also I don't have the most expensive material to wear, but I have a keen sense of fashion that sets trends from the simplicity of thrift stores. I suppose my newly discovered confidence proved to be a success, because shortly after my realization a nice young lady felt compelled to be my girlfriend. After some sessions of texting, it became an offer I couldn't decline. In the midst of understanding myself, I began to think of the quote my grandmother use to recite by Malcolm S. Forbes which stated,“Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.” when I decided to place less value upon what I wasn't and appreciate what I was. I found out I wasn't missing anything all

I have no other option, but to write this humble request. I am going through challenging times, and respectfully ask for help. The reason behind this charitable request is the growing cost of healthcare expenses which includes a needed hernia surgery and owed dental bills.

“Love yourself, girl, or nobody will.” Self-love is a struggle for most no matter if a girl or boy. We have to learn to appreciate about

Unpretty – TLC Love Yourself, Accept Yourself, Forgive Yourself and be good to yourself. I chose the song Unpretty by TLC. During the song TLC sings the lyrics, “you can buy your hair if it won’t grow, you can fix your nose if he says so, you can buy all the makeup that M.A.C can make.” And then goes on to sing about how she still doesn’t feel beautiful. The message she is bringing across with this song highlights how people have become too obsessed with the idea of physical perfection that they will never truly be happy with themselves.

It all began 7th grade year when I was struggling with my weight.I already felt worthless about myself, not to mention getting bullied by people I called my friends. They would body shame me and call me various names that added onto my stress. They would call me things like cow,fat ass, fatty patty etc. I wanted it to stop, but I didn't want to get bullied for being a tattle tail or a sissy. Holding in all the stress and depression caused me to cry to every night before going to sleep. I finally realized that I could change it and transform myself into the “ideal image” that everyone wanted me to be. I worked out daily and begged my mom to enroll me in an actual gym. She took me, and I began to see progress a few weeks later. I finally began to feel good about myself, but they still seen me as fat. I was a little hurt, but after finally coming to my mom about everything that's been going on, she sat me down and taught me about how to love myself .

This definitely showed in my social life; I was a social butterfly. When I transitioned into middle school, I started hanging out with the wrong crowd. They would tell me we were best friends then spread rumors around about me. They would tell me, sweet as they could be, how ugly and how dumb i was. Without thought, I started to internalize it. Only during my ninth grade year, when i was meeting new people did i realize how horrible they were for me. I stopped hanging out with them, but i never stopped my feelings about myself. I always had immense anxiety that other people saw these unforgivable flaws in me, too. I felt these feelings were a sign of weakness, a sign that I didn't have confidence. I thought these feelings were something i should be ashamed of. I became an expert at hiding my emotions, and I was so excited, yet surprised when i had my first real boyfriend. For once, I told somebody how i was feeling; he told me it was okay, that he still liked me. That was shocking to me. We went along fine for a while, walked home every day together, until the middle of 10th grade. I saw how he was looking at other girls and doing things for them he had never done for me. My insecurities flared and I fell into a deep darkness, depression. I clung to him, I didn't want to lose the one person that said my flaws weren't that bad. I started acting hysterical, desperate,

I didn't look like the other high school girls and I didn't speak like them. I was convinced, everything the other girls had I needed and wanted in my life. My first year in high school I would sneak and wear makeup; just to look like the other girls. When I wore makeup it still didn't make me feel beautiful. The more makeup I put on the more anger I felt towards my best friend and me. Then came my sophomore year of high school. I gained weight and felt worst about myself. Not only did I not feel beautiful, now I'm fat. I tried out for my school JV volleyball team and I didn't make the team. I was a failure. Due to my lack of beauty and confidence, I was ready to give up on my dream. I was done with everything. My mother wouldn't allow me to beat myself up nor give up. She told me to "believe in myself" and "tell myself I'm beautiful every day" "you only fail when you don't try" She signed me up for volleyball clinics and eventually I went on to join a club team. I started to feel better, but I still had

Insecurity drills a hole into a person’s heart, minimizes their integrity, and accumulates as plaque build up, hindering any kind of future growth. Just as any human being’s growth is stifled by the insecurity within them, the United States as a whole suffers the same from its own tremendous amount of insecurity. This lack of acknowledgement of self-worth causes a ghastly chain reaction; people tend to pursue the wrong ideals, become corrupt, and inevitably lead themselves to their own demise. Insecurity is a route to destruction, and America is speeding down that road to dissolution.

Every story has a beginning … This is the beginning of a little girl who would not accept herself because she did not look like every other little girl, that girl was me. Growing up I was always the big girl, the girl that was heavier and just bigger than every other girl. Knowing that I did not look like every other girl in my classroom growing up, it hurt. Knowing boys liked them and not me hurt even more. Looking back at it now what hurts me the most was what I did in order to be “liked”. Confusing love with lust was what made me feel beautiful. Being a 14 year old girl being told she’s beautiful, sexy, and simply perfect for the first time is actually dangerous. When you are told those things and yourself does not believe them, you start to need those compliments, they help you get by. But receiving those compliments comes with a price. There is no sugarcoating this, when I was younger and clueless the one way I felt pretty was by getting compliments. The ones giving the compliments
