We’ve all met her…
The woman who walks into a room and effortlessly captures the attention of everyone in it.
She’s not necessarily the prettiest, thinnest, smartest or wittiest, yet people are drawn to her like moths to a flame. Why?
What is it about this woman that attracts and captivates the attention of men and women alike? What is it about her that makes people want to be in her presence and hang on her every word?
The answer to that question is quite simple.
It’s CONFIDENCE. Not pride or arrogance, oh no, those are very different and unattractive, to say the least. Confidence is humble. Confidence holds a distinctive, captivating charm.
A confident woman is secure. She is very aware of her flaws but doesn’t allow herself to focus on them. She works to improve as she sees fit, but doesn’t fret over her less than perfect attributes. What she has chosen to do instead, is embrace her strengths. She realizes there will always be someone smarter, prettier, more talented, etc. than she. Yet she doesn’t let that diminish who she is as a woman. In other words, she’s very comfortable being exactly who she is and doesn’t stress over who she is not.
A confident woman never begs for attention. She is genuinely interested in others and enjoys listening to what they have to say. She believes there is something to be learned by every person that crosses her path and she takes great pleasure in making others feel comfortable, interesting and confident in themselves.
A confident woman has made the decision to enjoy life, no matter her situation. She realizes that life isn’t always fair, and at times it’s even cruel. But she has chosen to look for the good, rise above the hardships and make the most of the life she has been given.
A confident woman knows her worth. She knows that she is far from perfect and never will be. She sometimes makes mistakes, speaks with a sharp tongue, loses her temper, and acts unbecomingly. However, she knows that her actions do not define who she is as a woman. She gives herself grace to be human and doesn’t beat herself up over her imperfections.
These are just a few of the attractive traits that confident women possess. I think if you start paying close attention to the women in your life who you enjoy being around, you’ll notice that most exhibit some, if not all of these qualities. And while being attractive is nice, true confidence has very little to do with the outward appearance and everything to do with what’s on the inside.
As I heard a gentleman once say …
“There is nothing quite like the fragrance of a confident woman…it permeates the air around her and makes her absolutely irresistible.”
