Everyone Does This A Little Now and Then

Often I see that people flirt with girls they like and the same with boys but in result, the person they flirt with usually doesn't like them. It's because it's not truly them. It seems apparent that the ones we try the least to impress are the ones we impress the most, because the way we act towards them is with genuine humility, actions without personal agenda and we carry ourselves with personal security. We are happy with ourselves and who we are, we aren't influenced by others. Most of the time with people we like we act differently to change ourselves to be more 'likable' but in the end we do the contrary. Being just who we are, gives us confidence and the conviction to do what is right rather than being influenced. When we're secure in our being it helps us give away our superficial wants because we don't care about status, we don't care about it at all. We're content in who we are and everything in our lives. Perhaps that's what has been missing the entire time. Perhaps self security leads to self control and everything else that I have ever written for. Be self secure - it doesn't lead to arrogance but a greater humility than we've ever known, a greater peace in our mind than we've ever known. We learn to be mindful of others while not minding the others' mind of us. We know we're richer than we've ever been though we can't afford luxury. We become stronger than ever before because we know of our weaknesses. We don't feel ashamed of them or try to cover them, we just acknowledge them and know it's a part of us. Nobody's perfect, but when you're self secure, you're perfect with what you are.

“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. 
Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. 
Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
