Let's be Happy!

          Hey guys!

I was thinking about what I should write this week, and I figured What if people need that pick-me-up about confidence? And considering how many people have those New Year's resolutions about being more confident about themselves, I want to help you keep going!

What I'd like to know is What triggers lack of confidence? Is it because people push you down? Or yourself? Or is it that you push yourself down because you think people are judging you? I know that sometimes I lack confidence because I feel like people are judging me, people who are strangers to me and even people who I let into my life. Whatever the reason, just think about what I have to say to you in this post.

This may sound cheesy, but this is something that helps me in being who I am, and therefore being confident and happy. We've all heard of the four elements, right? Fire, water, air and earth? I believe that each of those elements mean something. For example, fire means being spontaneous, wild, and adventurous. Water means being humble, "going with the flow" (pun intended!), and patient. Earth is the side being peaceful, helpful for others but for yourself as well, and caring. Air is being intellectual, firm, and persevering.

But of course, those elements have their own cons. Like fire can be snappy, water can be too emotional, air can be stubborn, earth can be... "backstab-by". But it's all about balance. I believe that those four elements balances each other out and will then shape who you are. And being all those elements will eventually let you be yourself, confident, happy.

I've heard a lot of stories about being let down by people, mentally, emotionally, physically. Whether they stare you down, or say words to you, it's just so wrong. And because of that, I think that those people don't have all the four elements "within" them. So if they push away your confidence, just think. You know about the elements, and they don't. That should boost your confidence high, high enough that those people don't bother you.

So whenever you feel bothered, just think to yourself: you know the elements, you have those elements. Be the four elements. Yes yes yes it's cheesy, I know! But it actually helps me. And whether or not it helps you, it might help another person out there. So hear (read) my words: Be the four elements.

I really hope you try this out, and that it helps you in life. It won't make you perfect, or the greatest, but having this theory in mind will lead to you to at least great things. You're one step away of being more happy!

Keep Smiling,
