What really <\/i>makes you happy?  Get clear about that, advises Christine Arylo in her fabulous gallery of tips to build self-confidence<\/a>.  She says:<\/p>\n

“Stop trying to fit into the expectations that outside forces–society, family,
\nwork, friends–have said you must achieve in order to be successful,
\nhappy, and accepted, and start asking yourself, “What really makes me<\/i>
\nhappy?” Think about the times that you’ve been happiest. What were you
\ndoing? What did you have? Do the same for your most unhappy times.
\nCompare the two to your life today and notice the gaps.”<\/p>\n
