Bet on yourself. Don’t wait for someone else to choose you. When you choose you, fully, unabashedly, humbly, you become a magnetic force. This isn’t overconfidence, this is self-acceptance. Overconfidence is an act for others, hoping they’ll see you a certain way. Or a shallow, “fake it until you make” it performance for yourself. Truly accepting yourself is a quiet constant internal act rooted in gentle love. No bravado. “The first product of self-knowledge is humility.” - Flannery O’Connor
