It’s your mindset that really matters. Confidence is one of the layers of being truthful. It comes from the inside. If you want to be confident enough to show your inside, your inner self has to be beautiful enough, true enough, and compassionate enough to give you the confidence to show it. You need to elevate yourself in order to radiate a positive energy.
