Don’t be fooled. Even the most confident people have their insecurities and the most competent are flawed.

Though we may have dreamt of being the perfect persons we see in other people, we have to understand that nothing can be perfect. The things we would want to happen in our lives don’t necessarily happen the way we want them to be however tactful our plans were. The very things we want to attain will not pass by us so long as we won’t work towards achieving them. It takes effort to make things happen though.

And the self confident people have acquired their attributes not out of luck. An author once said that the most beautiful people do not just happen. They must know hardship, they must know suffering, they must know defeat, struggle and loss before they truly understand the depth of their worth.

Everyone is built for recognition, for achievement, for fame. The capacity to be confident of oneself was not given by random, it lies in all of us. Like with all other things we are in equal standing with that of the fellow sitting next to us. The difference though lies in our personal treatments of the capabilities that we were endowed with.

Initial development of self confidence roots from our childhood, the fashion by which we were reared, the opportunities that honed us to be the persons that we are and our reactions to the challenges that were given to us.

At a very young age, we already know how it feels to be humiliated or encouraged. At a very young age, we are already capable of giving interpretations with the way things happen to us. If at childhood we failed to react positively due to reasons like lack of or improper guidance, poor models and insufficient knowledge, it is likely that the succeeding phases of our lives will become dependent with how the things went during these ages.

But with age comes maturity. And maturity arises from the experiences we are encountering. Experiences, as we know them, are among the great teachers we have. Failure to take advantage of the experiences we encounter will only send us back to the same circumstances until we are able to spot where we have gone wrong. Therefore, we have no excuse that we were not given the chance to improve with each experience.

You see, improving self confidence is just a matter of becoming mature. If you will become complacent with the idea of setting back to lack of achievement and recognition then you will fail to comprehend that life is more than mediocre living.

Everyone can improve self confidence regardless of how we were in the past. What only matters is now- the present. If you would take stock of yourself and believe that you have the capacity to be anything and everything you want to be, you are sure to be a step higher towards achieving self confidence.

There are lots of ways that you may take to help you improve your self confidence. The keys are to have the positive attitude that anybody can do anything and adaptation of the belief that you can be anybody and you can be anything you set your mind to be.

If all else fails, remember the moments when you felt good because you were able to achieve something by feeling good about yourself. That way, you will be encouraged to become a better person you always wanted to be.

You know those little moments in time where a guy’s girlfriend or wife is modeling new jeans and she turns to him and says, “Do these make my butt look fat?” Most guys in this situation tend to look very similar to a deer caught in the headlights when you see the expression on their faces. They know that no matter what they say it’s not going to be the right answer unless they can answer in the negative with a convincing tone. These are times when you really need to think quickly and seriously before delivering your answer. This can be true of women with sensitive male partners as well.
Now, before you answer questions such as these, you need to evaluate your situation well ahead of time in anticipation of these questions that are potential land mines for your relationship. Decide just how much honesty your partner can handle. This is the first question that you must answer especially when it becomes clear that you’ll have to face those questions in the future.
Something to remember is that in many situations, telling a little white lie is the best and safest policy. However, you must assess each situation individually before delivering your answer. Sometimes you simply must tell a version of the truth. For instance, if your lady is trying to go out of the house in an outfit that would do justice to the hooker downtown on the street corner, you simply can’t let her go out and embarrass herself that way. Be kind when you present other clothing choices to her and tell her something along the lines of how much you adore seeing her in the outfit that YOU picked out. Nothing should get you further than flattery.
At other times, you may just be forced to tell something that’s not quite true in order to avoid hurting your beloved’s feelings, or putting yourself in the doghouse. Under the circumstances, it’s better to tell her that no, those jeans don’t make her butt look big, or tell him that his hair doesn’t look silly all spiked up and gelled like that. Now, when you go out, if there are some side glances or not so discreet giggles, simply say that you have no idea what they could be staring at because you find your partner absolutely adorable. THERE’S your little white lie.
Simply put, the basic rule about telling little white lies is this: As long as your partner isn’t going to be seen in public in a way that will get them ridiculed and made fun of to a huge degree, let it go. If your partner is happy about something regarding their looks, as long as it won’t be permanent and won’t be TOTALLY ridiculous, agree that it looks nice. These are the types of little white lies that don’t hurt anyone and usually won’t get you busted. Simply agree with your partner and hope that the phase passes.

When I think about how I lost love, I think about Alfred Lord Tennyson’s quote, “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” When I lost love, I felt the whole world had collapsed around me. I’m sharing my story in order to help you if you too have lost the love of your life.

I think it is important to remember that every relationship has a natural lifespan. In Junior High, that’s about four days. As we get older, the lifespan increases. But, there are certain relationships that are right for a period of time and then go awry. Most of us will only have one great love in our lives. The other relationships will terminate. That’s why when I say I lost love, I understand that this is a natural process.

In my case, my girlfriend and I were thinking about ratcheting up our relationship. Her lease was about to end, and she wanted to move into my apartment. As we were spending most of our time there anyway, it made sense from a financial perspective.

But there is something significant about having separate places. I know I lost love because I couldn’t handle her taking our relationship to this level. I guess the time span of our relationship was up because I wasn’t willing to become more committed.

Now, I know I handled the situation badly. I went to a friend’s bachelor party and let’s just say things got out of hand. Word about the wild antics at the party got back to my girlfriend, naturally, and she dumped me. I lost love over the events of one night.

But, when I think back on what really happened, the events of the bachelor party were really a reaction to our discussion of more commitment. I seriously don’t think I would have behaved the way I did if I really wanted her to move in. I lost love because I wasn’t ready for the direction it was taking.

I’m glad I had the chance to be in a relationship with my ex. But I don’t think she was the love of my life, my soul mate. Instead, she was someone with whom I genuinely enjoyed spending time. I loved her. I still love her. But, she is not the person with whom I see spending the rest of my life.

I went through a period of mourning the relationship and analyzing what went wrong. I really was hurt when she said she wanted to end things. Sure, I understood that I had hurt her. But, I didn’t want her to leave my life completely.

I guess what I wanted was for things to continue on the way they were. But, every relationship has to grow or die. Because I wasn’t willing to let it grow, it had to die. In every relationship, there is a time to die. And, for me, this was it. That’s how I lost love.

Instead of buying a book on relationships, there is plenty of free relationship advice out there for you to take advantage of. Make sure that advice comes from trusted resources first and foremost. Some great free advice includes ways to keep your relationship strong, how to show love in difficult times, what to do when times get hard and who to turn to when times get tough.

There are several ways to keep your relationship strong, the most notable of which is communication. Communication is the cornerstone of a great relationship because communication is how your partner shows love to you. Communication doesn’t have to be just talking, it can be actions as well. Remember, the body has 5 senses: seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and feeling. Learn how to communicate in all of those ways, and your relationship will be more stronger by the day. Also, be honest right from the outset with our partner. They will thank you for it. It doesn’t do anyone any good to lie just to get them off your back because eventually the problem will rise again and you two will have to face it. Stay honest and true to yourself, and your partner will be true to you as well.

One great piece of free relationship advice on how to show love in difficult times is to show your partner that you trust them. If there are tough financial times ahead and you are acting like your partner can’t pull his or her own weight, that will cause them to feel discouraged and dejected. Instead, work with your partner to make things better, always saying and doing encouraging things along the way. Also, agree to disagree on certain points of view your partner may have. Let’s face it. You both may not have all of the same opinions. That’s okay. Acceptance of this is an important part of making the relationship strong during the hard times.

If times are really hard between you and your partner, sometimes it’s good for both of you to take a breather. Agree to pick your discussion up at a later time in order to give both of you a chance to collect your thoughts. This is to ensure that neither of you risk saying something you will regreat later. When times are tough, reach out to your trusted family, friends and church family. Also a church couselor or community counselor can be a great resource.

Marriages are very difficult to make work these days. There’s no doubt about that. Couples that can make their marriages work are to be admired because they’ve found the secret to staying happily married. They don’t give in when it seems that everything is falling apart. Instead, they dig in their heels and start to attack the problem or problems in their marriage with a determination that shows how serious they are about keeping their marriage together.
Then, there are the couples that decide they want to stay married just for the sake of any young children that they may have together. While on the surface, this may seem like a caring action, it may not be that at all. Instead, it may be something that’s rather damaging to the children involved.
Consider that your kids aren’t idiots. It doesn’t matter how hard you try to fool them, most children will pick up on the undercurrents of the problems that the two of you are facing. There’s tension that cannot be hidden, no matter how much you attempt to sweep it under the rug. They understand that something’s not right. This gets even worse when the two of you are sleeping in different rooms when that was something you never did in the past.
If you’re going to attempt to continue a dead marriage for the sake of your children, there are certain things that you’ll need to do if you really want it to work out for them. For one thing, you must treat each other with respect and civility, at least when the kids are around and they can hear you. Save your knock down drag out fights for when they’re out of the house and have no danger of walking in on the two of you. They’re not going to believe you if they hear you screaming and fighting with each other.
Something else to consider is how far you want to perpetuate the lie. If the kids are really young, it’s possible that they won’t notice a lot of things that older kids will. However, young children do grow up and become more cognizant of what’s going on around them. As they do get older, they may start to ask questions. This may be the time to sit down with them and explain some things. You may try telling them that even though Mommy and Daddy aren’t in love like married people anymore that you still care about and respect each other and you want to provide a nice home for them. This one works out well if you and your husband really do still like each other.
You do need to consider that if you and your husband really can’t stand to live under the same roof any longer, it’s not a great environment for your children. Under these conditions, staying together for the kids isn’t a very good idea. They’ll suffer much more if they live in a stressful home than if they travel between two happy ones. Children survive divorce every day and as long as you and your husband have their best interests at heart, yours can, too.
