Now, are you saying that a better job and a woman are something that will be fulfilling? I'd have to politely disagree.I think what you are wanting is more self-confidence and possibly a better job, woman in your life or something fulfilling.
A happy, fulfilling life is something that starts within. There's no amount of money, clothing, women, shave products, etc. that can help achieve happiness. Do they help? Possibly, but only in a very small fashion. It all depends on what defines one's happiness. Lofty goals are great because achieving a goal is an awesome reward but to place those goals in the positions of being markers of happiness is unwise. What happens if you reach a goal and you're not suddenly happy? I've found that most people reach a goal, find they're not automatically happy, and then they descend into a even greater sense low self-worth only to set another goal that they think will bring happiness. The cycle starts over again and the unhappiness continues.
I will agree on the self-confidence. That is something that has always helped me out in life. I have no problem in that arena and it's noticeable. I feel comfortable in most any situation, with any group of people, in any situation because I know that everybody there is just a person. They're no different than anybody else at the most basic level. Bus stop full of college chicks? It's just a group of people waiting for the bus as far as I'm concerned. Club full of people that may be more fashionable than I am? I'm sorry but pretty and handsome are a dollar a pound and both are commodities that are in abundance so it's nothing to lust after.
Be confident in who you are and people will be confident in you as well. Be unsure of yourself as a person and it's noticeable. Be happy with you and there's nothing can take that away. I'm happy with who I am but I also know I can be better so I strive to be a better person. I use my view of a better person as my benchmark.
