facade extraordinaire.

smoke and mirrors: a metaphor for a deceptive, fraudulent or insubstantial explanation or description.

everyone has a smoke and mirror act(s) in their life. i don't give a shit how many times you've said you got rid of all the fake people in your life, some are still present. it's unfortunate, but some people do possess this talent, similar to a magicians' illusions. i like to call it facade extraordinaire. they make a personality appear, then disappear.

don't be fooled.

exude confidence.

You gotta do that. Once you have confidence, you can do, say, and wear damn near anything. I have seen the most homely women and men get attention out in public. Why? Because they exude confidence & power. They smile, laugh, engage in exceptional conversation and acquire great body language – which is pertinent. If you’re always slouched and frowning do you think anyone will approach you? Negative. They’re going to see you for what you are - an unmotivated, monotonous individual. Especially someone who's attention you are trying to get. How can you expect to have a fun, blissful life with people if you’re not happy? Sitting around doing nothing is certainly not the answer.

And yes - I’m speaking to a specific someone. I’m only saying this ‘cuz I love you. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t waste my blog’s precious space.

Take control. Own it.

Ciao.
