You can shine! Believe in yourself.

From the song 'Watch Me Shine' by Joanna Pacitti:

Bet you don't think I can take it,
But my mind and body are strong.
...
Better watch out,
Going for the knockout,
And I won't stop
Till I'm on top now,
Not gonna give up
Until I get what's mine.

"Passion is the overwhelming feeling, the burning desire, the drive that ultimately creates change. It is the total belief in yourself and your abilities that nothing can stop you."
#DianeMatyas, Performance Your Guide to Personal and Professional Excellence

"Confidence and empowerment are cousins in my opinion. Empowerment comes from within and typically it's stemmed and fostered by self-assurance. To feel empowered is to feel free and that's when people do their best work. You can't fake confidence or empowerment."
#AmyJoMartin

Do you have a pocketful of sunshine?

From the song 'A Pocketful Of Sunshine' by by #NatashaBedingfield:


I got a pocketful of sunshine,
I've got a love and I know that it's all mine,
Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me,
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me.

Take me away,
A secret place, a sweet escape,
Take me away.
Take me away, to better days.
Take me away, a hiding place.

#Bible, Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)

"He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly."
#BCForbes

A case of a girl projecting confidence naturally? Or maybe other things make up for the lack of confidence?

From 'What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction:

You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,

Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh, oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'd understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh, oh,
You don't know you're beautiful.

That's what makes you beautiful.

You can be the greatest,
You can be the best,
You can be the King Kong banging on your chest,

You can break rocks,
You can be a master,
Don't wait for luck,
Dedicate yourself and you're gonna find yourself
Standing in the hall of fame...

Fantasia's winning performance on American Idol:
http://youtu.be/wRNIsY1ha3E

From 'Believe' by Fantasia Barrino:

I can see it in the stars across the sky,
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize,
You see I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally, I believe.

I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart,
Overcome any obstacle,
Won't let this dream fall apart,
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see,
Cause anything is possible
When you #believe.

Fantasia believed in herself and was confident, but also realistic and humble....
