Believe in Yourself

I tell everyone as well as anyone who will listen that If you don't believe in yourself, how can you expect others to believe in you?

It starts with ourselves by gaining clarity about who we want to be in the world. Confidence is like a muscle, the more you use it, the more it grows. And magic happens 😊 

Age usually brings with it knowledge, wisdom and expertise so rely on others who will share it, or use it once you get it.

I used to embrace and look up to the number eight, but this morning I hate it as the temperature outdoors is a freezing cold EIGHT.

The number 8 is said to be the luckiest number in Chinese culture and they believe the more the merrier. I will have to test this theory when it's 88 degrees outside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kle2xHhRHg4

As a proud Cuban-American, I ask why our dances are the most popular, lively, and passionate forms of movement in the entire world.

These dances are characterized by delicate and sensual movements and provide both the practitioners and spectators with an unforgettable experience.

Cuban dance is as unique as the music that accompanies it. Cuban culture is highly diverse and one of the most interesting ways to begin to understand Cuban people is by exploring, watching, and trying the various dance forms which are popular here.

Here is one for spell check or AI to answer. The phrase is to ask, or request. Which is the etiquette word and please tell it like it is. 

Etiquette is mandatory in language, whether in writing or in spoken form. Etiquette means observing every convectional requirement for polite behavior among associates of the same profession or members of the same group. 

Advise means offering recommendations to someone on the best measures they can take about something.

LOVE vs HATE

These both cloud our thinking and judgment. They’ve sparked confrontations, violence, wars, and some of the greatest epics of all time. Both make our heart rate increase, our pupils dilate, and our palms moist.

OK. So it seems like love and hate are not quite so different. Plenty of age-old sayings agree: There’s a thin line between love and hate. The opposite of love is never to hate, it is indifference. Common knowledge points to hate as a learning process, which I not only believe, but I have met a few individuals who never missed a lesson and have shown little class.
