5 Ways to Sparkle Everyday

You know those days that you just feel, oomph?
Well here is a guide to making your life sparkle everyday.

It took me a while to figure out why somedays I felt on fire, brilliant, and accomplished, and yet other days I felt cold, dull,  and unproductive. Once I figured it out, each of my “on” days came down to these five simple things:

3. HAVE AN OPINION Want to know the number one pet peeve of guys? (this was taken from a highly inaccurate, and definitely informal poll from past dates, ex-boyfriends, and my current husband). A girl without any idea of what she wants is a huge turn off! However, men love a women who knows where she is going in life, what she wants to do with her assets and talents, has knowledge enough to have a take on what is going on in the world, and most definitely knows what she wants for dinner and what movie to watch.
Have you ever hung out with someone that always says “I don’t know?” when you ask the weighted question of, “What should we do?” HOW badly do you just want to shove that person out of your moving car? (okay, drastic). Don’t be that person that is being shoved out of a moving car. Having ideas, thoughts, and an opinion that you are willing to talk about doesn’t just make you sparkle, it makes you shine. (And also makes the boys buy you diamonds. Shine bright like a diamond).

4. FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT  That is the true key to confidence. Cockiness is when you have an unreasonable amount of belief in yourself and like to share about it. Confidence, however, is silent. (Thank you Sami for such a great term! ) Confidence is something that doesn’t just exist. Confidence must be built. It is the cousin to bravery; brave people aren’t without fear, they just don’t balk in the face of fear. Same with confidence. Whenever you are faced with something, or someone, “out of your league” you just simply fake the belief in yourself until everyone else believes it too. Build your confidence until it is real.

5. BE THE COMPETITION, BUT DON’T COMPETE Say what?! Let me explain… always be on your game. Always be the first to respond, always be the first to volunteer, always try your best. Not only does this determination set you apart from others, but it will fuel your fire for whatever passion you have. Don’t compete with others though. I love the quote, “A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it, it just blooms.” Basically, you do you. THE BEST YOU. Compete with yourself, and you will have a mega sparkle.
