is confidence in the eye of the beholder?


so as i sit and ponder after a day of classes and exams, i came to the conclusion that being confident comes in several different ways, but it's a continuous process. i can sometimes have days when i feel like i'm on top of the world and could conquer anything, but then there are some days that i just feel like chillin' in the bed and not conversing with a soul. and while i know everyone has days like that because we are all human, my main question is: what makes a person confident?

you could say being able to "walk the walk and talk the talk" is confident, but actions speak louder than words, right?  maybe it's your fashion sense that makes you confident, or your ability to walk into a room and just be the center of attention. Maybe you don't even have to cause a scene when you step in the building, but you can silently just chill and your presence is felt. i'm sure when people think of confidence, names like beyoncĂ©, pres. barack obama & his wife michelle and lil' wayne (wait for it...ok, i'm back) come to mind, but they weren't always this way. so when did it finally click for them that they could literally hold the world in the palm of their hand if they wanted to?

being abroad thus far has given me a chance to really observe not only how life is in another country, but what makes people gravitate to certain people with that charisma, that spark, that extra something.
it's also given me a chance to re-evaluate who i am and what impact i want to continue to have on those that i come in contact with.

below are two people who i look up to that exude crazy confidence. shout out to them. =]
