I always thought once I'd hit my 30's I would be so secure and confident that nothing or no one would have me second guessing myself. Welp, I was wrong. I'm a couple weeks away from turning 33 and, not that it is often at all, but I do have my moments of self doubt. Hey, who doesn't!?
However, I am much more confident then I have ever been. I think there is a beauty in growing older and knowing year after year you settle more into your own skin. I am thankful that I no longer need validation of my worth that so many of us desperately seek in our adolescences and early 20's. I love that I know what I like and how I like it. Professionally, I feel strong in my talents, skills and value add. This is who I AM.
And, whenever those moments of self doubt seep in I quickly dig deep and remind myself that it's OK to be ME. And, if I am feeling negative vibes from others I know it is most likely that they are not comfortable within themselves that making you feel badly is what they need.
Bottom line, as I see it, under no circumstance should you ever feel you need to alter who you fundamentally are as person. Love who you are and OWN IT.
Be your authentic self and never apologize!
