Expect more from yourself than others. The good news - everyone believes in what you show. Nobody can read your thoughts to know your doubts. The bad news - you can interpret every people's speech in a wrong way. Any weird reaction and you start worrying without any reason. Psychologists recommend listening to your "inner voice". Try a small experiment: note down every thought while you are lacking of self-confidence. Every time you start worrying, do a two-minute break. Take the list and remind yourself how great you are. Show to your mind the material proof of your self-confidence.

Surround yourself with positive people. The more you surround yourself with positive and confident people in all areas of your life the more you will begin to feel the same. The very interaction with confidence motivates you to feel the same, it is contagious. The same goes for negativity. So, take a look at the people in your life and reflect on their net input regarding confidence in your life. Real friends support you be more of yourself as far as it is concerned.

Appearance is everything. When you look good you feel good. Simple. If you are walking around looking like you just got out of a rubbish bin, you probably won't be too confident about yourself. We all know how you feel when you walk out of the hairdresser, you walk a bit taller, you walk with purpose. So look after yourself and dress your best and you will feel your best. You know your best features to show them off!

This book will help you identify effective methods designed to bring out your charismatic personality.  

Improving yourself takes time and effort. You have to be willing to make the changes and be committed to taking action rather than just reading about them.   

The next step is to follow the given steps and start understanding yourself, your environment and the factors that will drive you to passionate success.

Chapter 1 –  How to Wake Up Early, Energized and Motivated Everyday with Morning Routine

Have you ever seen the sun rise, opened your window and breathed in that breezy morning air, or even sat down for a while savoring your favorite cup of coffee down to the last drop without even worrying about anything? If not, mind you dear reader, these are just some of the simple things in life you surely missed out on.

Mornings are lovely and great. Each morning speaks of a new beginning, of a new hope and of a new you. As you start to face reality, give yourself some alone time. Take some time off from all the stuff that keep you awake at night. Take time and enjoy a daily dose of happiness.

Happiness is not measured by how hard you laugh but by how happy your heart is. Happiness, therefore, is an act of love and an act of purity. Being able to appreciate even the smallest things in life is happiness itself.

So go see the sun rise, breath in that stunning morning air, or enjoy that cup of coffee. Whatever it is, it would surely be your own fresh cup of happiness.

Here are some simple things you should definitely try:

Say a Prayer

Prayer is the ultimate way for starting your day right. When you start and end your day with a prayer, you will have a peaceful heart and a peaceful soul. Your prayer does not have to be lengthy and full of sugar coated phrases. Just pray to be thankful for another opportunity in life and to pray for strength to hold on through all the challenges you are currently facing and for all the challenges that are to come. Pray with a sincere heart and surely you will be heard!

Work that Body

Once you’re finished mastering your spirit, why not exercise your body? Exercising is one way of keeping your body healthy and in shape. Health experts believe that there are many benefits you can gain when you exercise. Here are some: You get energized and surely you’ll shake off that lazy feeling. You will have an improved joint performance and reduced threat of arthritis. You would surely decrease the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and other risky things that pop up. Those are just some of the benefits you would get when you work that body. So, start working that body and show the world what you have benefitted from exercising.

Don’t forget to Eat

Experts say that breakfast is the most vital meal of the day, so don’t miss breakfast. It is important because it generates the energy you need to start your day and because it is linked to many health benefits. Also, eating breakfast helps you feel less tired and helps keep you focused on the things you need to accomplish within the day. You may be conscious about your body which is why you may be concentrated on dieting, but you still need to eat breakfast each morning.

Show that Smile 

While you say your prayers and be intimate with the Creator, why not try to smile? Aside from being grateful for another day, smiling to a new day actually helps you start your day with a positive vibe. It helps you feel good and ultimately makes you happy. It takes away all that stress in you and replaces it with a secured morning. So smile but don’t just smile; show the world your best smile!

Go Crazy

One of the best ways to have that extra special dose of happiness is listening to your favorite beat. Music helps relax your mind and helps you feel good about your day. It motivates you to be magnificent and to be who you want to be. So turn the volume up, sing your heart out and shake that body to the beat of the music!

Simply You

Simple joys in life are worth more than the happiness you get from having fame and fortune. You may be rich and famous but somehow there would come a time that you won’t be happy anymore and all that fame and money would somehow cease to exist. Don’t miss out on all the things that make you happy. What matters most is how happy your heart is and how your happiness infects others.

Meditate

Meditation and exercise may have a lot in common but these two are really very different things. In exercising, you are rewarded by a lot of sweat and that fat burning sensation you would feel after rigorous physical activity, but with meditation, you will get that relaxing feeling and the calmness you’ve always desired.

As you work on starting your day right, accompany it with a cup of happiness and you’ll surely get that savory mixture and that lovely feeling that would surely do you well.

Chapter 2 - How to Find Your Passion

What discerns passion from talent? Or are they congruent to one another? Passion is a motivation - a dynamism that drives you to act while talent is natural in a person. Passion needs rationalization and confirmation while talent only needs manifestation. Talent exists without us comprehending the why and what of its presence. Passion is what fuels or motivates skills. Passion is what gets you through in this world when talent is not enough. Doing something that is already second nature for you and loving every minute of it would likely inspire you to achieve success than accomplishing something difficult and uninspiring.

So what are the steps to finding your passion in life?

Meditate. Passion is a big force. It is unseen when it's not propelling something forward, such as talent. Therefore, passion can be more difficult to see than talent. You might have several innate talents such as writing, singing and carving. One of these talents could be your passion in life.  It is not easy to decipher our large number of desires and dreams into passion or just short-term obsession. You need to think from your inner core. To be able to access your inner core, you need to meditate. Look for a place where you will be still and be at peace with your environment. Dive right down to your inner core to draw on your deepest and truest aspirations in life. Ask yourself these questions:

a. What is my objective in life?

b. What occupies the majority of my time?

c. What do I love doing?

d. If I will get the opportunity to do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?

e. What would I do even if I do not get any payment or received anything for it in return?

f. What is it that I really do that animates me?

g. What makes me forget everything else aside from what I am doing?

When you can answer these questions in all honesty then you'll discover important clues that will help you define your passion in life. You will need to really concentrate on your inner self, before you make an effort to answer these questions. If you're touching this self, you'd be able to perceive the case more clearly and answer these questions without bias.

Create a list of what you wish to experience. Before you start your list, you should think about things which you have dreamed of doing but never got around to. You might not have done such things because of some factors such as - you didn't have courage to do it; you do not have the money for it; your loved ones were against it; you were too worried to fail hence you never even tried it or it was way beyond your comfort zone. In making this particular list though, you will need to include all that you have dreamed of doing without consideration of the factors that have hampered you from doing it before. Go over your list in case you might have missed out on something that had interests you in the past. Include everything you have dreamed of doing even if you think it's highly impractical, high-risk or vivid. Maybe it's not really your passion but who knows? While doing it, you might suddenly discover your true passion in life, that something which ignites a raging flame in you.

Try to experience at least five of those included in your list. At the soonest possible time, you should try to do at least ten of those that you've included in your list. Personally experiencing it'll give you a hint of what really interests you, what lights you up above all else. Passion is what makes a usually quiet person talk animatedly in regards to a particular subject; about his passion in life. You can never really know what drives or excites you most if you haven’t done a lot of interesting things in your life. Have a firsthand experience of the possible things that could make your adrenalin going. Take a shot and who knows? You may discover just what it is that you would wish to do for the rest of your life.

Exceed your comfort zone. You may be so used to your kind of life and your environment that it hampers you from discovering your passion. You have not been able to try anything new which is out of your usual league or have not traveled beyond your home-to-work road. Then it's time so that you can try new things which people would not expect you to do. For instance, if you have always been convinced you are left footed, then you might like to take up dance lessons. If you have always
