For some reason, in day to day interactions, people don't like people who believe in themselves to the point where they think they are great, or the greatest. These people are labeled egomaniacs or way too full of themselves. People often say they lack humility or are arrogant jerks. I've always been confused by this, if you don't believe in yourself, then what do you believe in? I know the standard response is that you can believe in yourself without being arrogant or condescending towards other people, and yes, that's true, but if you look at the world's most successful or famous people, they have many things in common, but one I see frequently these days is an unrelenting belief in yourself, your own ability, and belief that you will be great. For most people, this belief grows as one develops self-confidence, belief in their own ability to be great in whatever endeavor it is that they pursue. Once you start to believe in yourself and you push yourself and work with the goal of really truly being the best, why don't you deserve to feel like you are the best? Finally, along with believing in yourself and really believing that you are the best, you have to not care in the slightest how others (aside from your loved ones) view you at all.
Once you have developed that self-confidence, that swag, along with the ability to let your insecurities about how other people perceive you go, you can do anything you want and realize your true potential. Kanye West has been inspiring this belief in me for the longest time, and with every day that passes, he continues to embody and live out this ideology.
Bravo Mr. West
