Maybe they discuss your good points around others. But you yourself do not see or believe in your own unique qualities. My friend do you depend upon the compliments of others to keep you strong? <br /><br />Or like these two weak pig houses unable to take pressure. When a wolf, storm, or someone comes with negative words are you destroyed because your inner foundation was not resilient enough to withstand life’s evil storms?<br /><br /><strong>College years</strong><br /><br />These years can be a memorable experience or a disaster. If an individual studies in advance furthermore gets the help needed to succeed; they will have the confidence and assurance on test day to score well. <br /><br />On the other hand if they crammed the night before all they can do is hope for the best.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Cleopatra</strong><br />Was not just a beautiful woman because of her exterior; but she had to believe she was beautiful first on the inside. Imagine being reared in the palace her parents as well as the commoners calling her princess. This belief in Cleopatra became a part of her. To point that she knew who she was because she heard it every day!<br /><br /><strong>Confidence</strong><br /><br />• A process that sometimes needs to be worked on in advance. [Like a practice drive]<br /><br />• It is very difficult to continue to fake it [wrecks may be inevitable].<br /><br />• You need to hear it-- to become it-- to know it.<br /><br /><br /><strong>The Bible says as a man thinks so is he or she! </strong><br /><br /><em>So hear yourself speak great things about you!</em><br /><br />**God not only wants us to believe but know with assurance and confidence. <br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Your destiny is not written in stone</span></strong><br /><br />Maybe you weren’t raised in a Palace; and your present life circumstances are not so desirable. <br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: large;">But…</span></strong><br /><br />You can look in the mirror of the perfect law of liberty to speak over your life circumstances in order to change! <br /><br />You may have not had control over where you came from but you can help decide where you want to go.<br /><br /><em>Matthew 7:25</em><br /><em>And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.</em><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: large;">A brick house</span></strong><br /><br />The last pig standing was a confident pig that built an unshakeable brick house and ate him some wolf stew…<br /><br />And this too can be you<br /><br /><em>One brick at a time...</em><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size: large;">It may mean changing your friend selections</span></strong><br /><strong><br /><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />Your birds that you flock with can either be bird brains, jail birds, chickens, doves, or eagles… so choose wisely…<br /><br /><br /><br />Learning to love is learning to give. If you desire favor it’s good to show favor. It will return on every wave...<br /><br /><strong>Evolution</strong><br />-It’s called survival of the fittest for a reason. Most species that survived are the ones that evolved and became adaptable during the ages.<br /><br />-Get to know who you are and go from corrections to perfections.<br /><br />Become the best you can be. <br /><br /><strong>You are your own scale of 1-10 </strong><br /><br />Face facts man does look at the outward appearance and people daily read you as a resume from head to toe! We live in a materialist world and presentation is essential. The saying they will like me as I am does not hold true in every instance; especially if your personal scale rating is low. If you rate yourself a 1, 2, 3 than others will also see and view your ratings and you may get rejected!<br /><br />Celebrators are open doors for other celebrators, but misery is no joke. Everyday ask yourself critically where am I on my own personal scale. Sell yourself to yourself. If you are not buying you, don’t expect others to buy you either!<br /><br /><br /><ul><li><strong>Jealousy can be defined as one peeking at someone else’s scale of 1-10 to envy them. </strong></li></ul><br /><br />It may be their: <br /><br /><ul><li>Personality --work on yours</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Charm-- work on yours</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Beauty-- develop yours</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Style-- find out yours</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Intelligence—explore the world, read some books do something [LOL]</li></ul><br />Like the teacher says during a test “keep your eyes on your own paper don’t cheat”. You’ll only be short changing yourself<br /><br /><br />According to the world standards You may not consider yourself to be Mr. or Miss Universe. Develop an attitude of so what! Be like this guy I used to date; he would say “I look good to me”! <br /><br /><br />**Remember: An individual will never be as good or bad as another; simply because they will never be them. <br /><br />Plain and simple even with the plastic surgery and acting lessons; (not knocking either). Trying to become someone else is nothing but a fantasy and a dream. God has fearfully and wondrously made you. You are His workmanship created unto good works. It is what it is!<br /><br />It doesn’t matter whether you are Armani potential or the Bargain discount shopper, work what you got!<br />Confidence is not just your clothes it’s you on the inside being expressed on the outside. If you feel worthy of praise on the inside than you outside will demand that.<br /><br /><em>Your gifts, talents, and abilities maybe the very things that will make you shine in life to usher you to your destiny.</em><br /><em><br /></em><br />My Sister, my brother; you are not worthless: but either under some type of:<br /><ul><li>construction,</li><li>or development.</li></ul><br />&nbsp;Sometimes life will take a toll on you. Having gone through so much hell could bring you to the point you can’t even recognize yourself anymore. Hey, don’t be discouraged because you’re still alive and you know you’ve got to be in there somewhere. <em>Dig deep if you have to in order to pull yourself back.</em><br /><br /><br /><strong>You must realize that it’s not just about people not liking you; it’s about your confidence and you liking you!</strong><br /><br /><strong>You do need to be approachable</strong><br /><ul><li>Make yourself user</li></ul><br /><ul><li>&nbsp;Loveable if you want to be loved</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Friendly especially if you want friends </li></ul><br /><ul><li>Wise if you don’t want to appear as an idiot</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Respectable if you don’t want to get dis--ed </li></ul><br /><strong>Come out the prison cell of limitations </strong><br /><br /><ul><li>No one can see your potential if you keep it secretly locked up!</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Drop the sand bags out of the hot air balloon.</li></ul><br /><ul><li>Motivate yourself by becoming your own cheer leader, "Yeah for me"!</li></ul><strong>This life is an awesome journey so have a pleasant stay and wonderful trip.</strong><br /><br /><br /><br />Begin with faith...<br /><br />Click on the Link and purchase your copy today!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-last-pig-standing-building-confidence-restoring-your-dreams/10803822#">http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-last-pig-standing-building-confidence-restoring-your-dreams/10803822#</a><br /><br /><em>Coming soon&nbsp;to your local bookstore....</em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3508655020143643834-5781138831187427034?l=thelastpigstanding.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Evangelistvaleriemillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06857016039824940746noreply@blogger.com0
