Mikey's Laws Of Living No.1

[Recommended listening: Pride And Glory - Shine On]


Walk like you own the world.... But know that you don't.

This is about believing in yourself and having the confidence to show it. Walk tall, walk proud and other people around you will notice. You get treated better and your days end up much better. You end up smiling more and others around you end up smiling more. Greet everyone like your friend and sincerely thank everyone for their help. Be observant when doing this and you will notice many changes around you.

Even if you are feeling down or depressed.. Try it. Not only will you start to feel better about yourself, but you'll make everyone around you feel better too.

The other half of this is being humble enough to not tread on everyone with your new found prideful steps. We don't really own anything or anyone. Don't use your confidence to belittle other people and use them. We're all part of one global community and we should all help one another as best as we can. Even if that's a friendly smile or chat to the total stranger sitting next to you at the bus stop.

So stand up tall, walk straight and with purpose, even if you have none. Believe in yourself, even if you don't. You soon will when you see all the people around you acting differently towards you.
