How To Develop A Strong Presence And Personality
3 min readFeb 10, 2022
- Be Comfortable With Yourself — You have to know yourself better than anyone else around.
• What buttons can be pushed to make you angry or happy? What do you like and dislike? What will you stand up for time and time again?
• The more you know yourself the easier it is to stay grounded when other people try to hurt you.
• Example: THEM: “You are an asshole.” YOU: “I know! I was there! Thanks for letting me know though.” - Stop Expecting — The more you expect of others the more disappointment it can bring to you.
• However, if you simply stop expecting anything then you will not put any pressure on others nor will you be disappointed no matter what they do.
• In doing this you also remove the expectations you have of yourself, and you will not be disappointed with you whenever something goes wrong. - Be Open-Minded — Here’s the truth you should take to heart: YOU MAY BE WRONG!
• Your Religious beliefs may be wrong, your view of the world may be wrong, even what you perceive to be real may be wrong.
• You can be wrong at everything so stop putting so much pride in being right.
• Be open-minded to the ideas of others, know you can be wrong, and you will know more than everyone around:
“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.” — Socrates
