Congrats and best of luck to the crew who put this short together.

Confident people carry themselves in a different way to others. They earn respect and attract attention and success. To obtain this super power you just need to understand a few simple facts about yourself.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time on this planet, it’s that a man with confidence has the keys to the kingdom. But while some men are raised in an environment where this trait is facilitated and encouraged, most aren’t. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you can build confidence the same way you can build python biceps or a washboard stomach. Here’s how:

1. Think Positive
Yeah yeah, roll your eyes all you want. Positive thinking isn’t going to keep your cancer from metastasizing, but it will help you gain confidence over time. Here’s what you do: spend a month looking on the bright side, finding the silver lining in things like ruining your car or running out of beer. My method is, for every negative event, stretch and think of three positives that can come out of it. Pretty soon, your brain will be trained to find the positive in just about everything. This in turn will make you a more optimistic—and confident—guy.

The endorphins your brain releases combined with your growing muscles make you think you’re one bad mother-… hey, I’m just talkin’ ’bout exercise.

2. Be A Cheerleader… For Yourself
All too often, men don’t acknowledge the things they do right. You spend time calling yourself on perceived inadequacies, but you probably don’t take credit for the aspects of life where you’re totally killing it. Why the hell not? Any time you do something right, no matter how inconsequential it might seem, give yourself some mental daps. One easy way? Keep a record of at least one cool thing that you do every day. After a month, go back and take a look at it. You’re going to be pretty amazed at how much ace stuff you get done.

3. Get Some Exercise
There are a couple reasons exercise works. The endorphins your brain releases combined with your growing muscles make you think you’re one bad mother-… hey, I’m just talkin’ ’bout exercise. But another benefit comes when you actually do start looking good, and the ladies can’t keep their hands off you. That does wonders for any guy’s ego. Oh, and for those of you who “don’t have time” to work out, ask yourself which option fits your busy schedule better: exercising for one hour three times per week, or being dead 24 hours a day, seven days per week.

Is she concentrating on her form… or yours?

4. Pick Up A New Skill

Not only will learning French or ballroom dancing give you a great way to meet women, it also boosts your esteem. Because really, what makes you feel better about yourself (and in a totally lasting way?) than manufacturing a new talent. Pick the thing you’ve totally always wanted to do, but thought was impossible, like preparing filet mignon or how to weld. Even the smallest accomplishments can make you feel like a million bucks, giving you energy you can carry to other aspects of your life. Bonus: guaranteed turn-on for women? Being totally stoked on something. Anything. True story.

Chicks dig welders. Hell, we all dig welders.

Not to be confused with Cockiness.. Nobody likes Cockiness.

 5. Take A Breath

You know what kills confidence? Anxiety. And how do we get rid of anxiety? Barring a severe anxiety disorder,  breathing is great start. When you feel out of your element or about to lose it, step back for a few, take a couple deep  breaths and collect yourself. Then hold your head high, push on and take control of the situation. That’s what confident  guys do.

 6. Set and Meet Goals
Just having a goal gives you the confidence of forward momentum, the feeling of going somewhere. The trick to goals is  to make them SMART. Nope, that’s not me accidentally tapping caps lock. It’s an acronym.

 Specific: Learn a foreign language is a bad goal. Complete a semester of Chinese at the local community college is better.

 Measurable: Get better at running is a bad goal. Shave a minute off your mile is better.

 Attainable: Become king of the moon is a seriously bad goal, dude.

 Relevant: The goal should have some kind of significance to you personally.

Timely: Set a realistic deadline by which you are aiming to reach your goal. Otherwise it just becomes another thing you don’t do.

Alright, I’m done writing and you’re done reading. Time to take action. After all, grabbing life by the horns is something confident dudes do on a regular basis. Get after it.

..Or Really Funny

As part of my current work these days, visiting The Lost Dogs Home every month for an afternoon tea outing with a group of elderly people who have been homeless or at risk seems like a very fitting activity. In many cases both have lived on the streets, been abandoned, had to fight for survival and put their life in someone else’s hands; but life is all about second chances.  Since 1910 The Lost Dog’s Home has been a voice for animals without owners. The LDH have been pioneers for fair animal laws and continue to work at the front line to reduce the number of lost, abandoned and stray cats and dogs.

By adopting a pet from an animal shelter like The Lost Dogs’ Home, you are giving an animal in need a much deserved second chance at life. This is a very positive thing to do and you will be rewarded with a deeply loyal and loving companion.  Visit the adoptions page via the link above to browse pets for adoption from our shelters. The site is updated daily and allows you to search by location and pet type and even save your searches!

As well as photos, many of the online pet portfolios give you insight into the animal’s personality and their needs. You are also welcome to visit the shelters in person to see the cats and dogs for adoption.  Adoption staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, as well as allow you to be introduced and spend some time with your potential pet.
