I can probably ask many women this question and they would all give me a different answer according to what they feel and how they think a confident woman should be.

Some would say that a confident woman should know who she is, where she comes from, and where she is going. I would agree, but allow me to elaborate.

A Confident Woman knows where she comes from and is humble to that fact. A confident woman isn't ashamed, embarrassed, or apologetic. She knows her past is what bought her to her future. She strides in this confidence because it's what made her who she is.

A Confident Woman knows that there aren't limits to her possibilities. She knows that she can go as far as she is willing. No one can stop her because she doesn't measure herself by other women successes. A Confident Woman knows where she is going. She does not need the instructions of anybody else to tell her. She is confident enough to know that if she stumbles and falls along the way, she'll still look cute getting up from that fall and continue on accomplishing what she set out for.

A Confident Woman takes compliments with grace, takes criticisms with grace, and knows how to give compliments with grace and she criticizes with grace. She knows that she doesn't need a man to complete her nor compliment her. She knows that she completes him and compliments him.

A Confident Woman doesn't need love to feel loved. She feels loved because she gives love.

A Confident Woman walks into a room and immediately owns the place. She commands attention and she doesn't need to put forth much effort. It comes naturally. She may get the attention of your man, but she doesn't want him. She may get the negative attention of all of the jealous ladies, but the confident woman will go on about her life while these women are sitting at home wasting their time discussing her. The confident woman could care less, and do you know why?

The Confident Woman knows who she is, where she comes from, and where she is going.

To My Confident Women,
