Self confidence

This Friday we were at Keys On Main, we were having a good time listening to the music having a few drinks. My wife out of no where pointed out a group of older men with their wives, she singled out one man who had a very young girl sitting next to him. It was obvious that this 40+ year old man was trying to impress this woman. He was dressed in nice cloths, ordering lots of drinks and doing everything possible to close the deal with this 24 year old bomb shell.
I watched this guy intently for about 20 minutes, on the surface he looked like the modern playboy party boy, but when you watched him for a few moments you started to pick up on little things. The way he looked around when he laughed, the way he make over the top sexual jokes to be funny but the topper of them all was the way he constantly had his hands on her making it public that she was with him. It made me laugh to watch him, and see how insecure he was. The funniest part is that I, an overweight, middle class 24 year old has more self confidence that a well off (or tried to make him self appear so) good looking 40+ year old. Happiness in not about money, good looks or having a good looking girl on your arm, it’s about being happy with who you are and loving your self. The most important thing we can learn in life is to be confident in who we are or we will never be truly happy.
