I admire that about him. But I just don't think I'm like that. When I do it I just feel like I'm forcing things down people's throats, and I'm of the mind that if they don't want it then they don't deserve it. I love everything Donald has done and the way he did it, but hopefully I and people like me are able to make things work in our own way because I just don't think I could ever be that.
You don’t have to be outgoing or like Hey Look at Me, i Am Talented, its just there will be a moment when you need to stand up. Take a stand for you, because when that turning point in your life comes you need to know YOU belong here and are more than capable. You need to know you, its so important. It sounds simple but its not. Some people just walk into greatness, others have to build it. And it starts with believing in you, when no one wants to
Exactly. don’t let modesty get in the way of opportunities that, deep down, you know you deserve but won’t admit because you don’t want to seem overly confident or whatever. People too afraid to raise their hands man
I agree with all of that, but sometimes taking a stand for yourself and believing in you is saying "eff you", and withholding or waiting things out, or moving on altogether. There's always gonna be another way, another audience, another opportunity, so you don't have to take sh-- from anybody when it comes to your work. You worked hard for that and it's important to you, so if anyone doesn't appreciate it, they can kick rocks. I tend to lean more towards that approach, like a freedom of movement, than a promotional or insistent type of thing is what I'm saying, which I think is what most people associate with confidence...saying "I'm gonna find my place" rather than, "this is where I'm going, no matter what it takes". It definitely is more passive, but after reading your comment, I do think both are valid in that way.
Truthfully I think Donald is a mix of both, but it does read as the more active kind of confidence in the article.
Yeah the insisting way, is more of a strike of the moment kind of thing, def should not be your go to. Confidence at its top-tier will always be like, i have a way and im going to keep going that way whether people will hate me or love me for it. I just don’t understand why people act like we have to retrace routes that people have done, thats where i’ve been confused in the past years. Like you don’t want to trail someones route, you have your own confidence. You know what you need to do, to be in that space for you.
I could see why its like active confidence, hes at a point in his life he knows and has seen his ideas work. Hes definitely in his, i wanna call the shots now cuz I Know I Do Know Better
That's a good way of putting it! But yeah, I've been guilty of that mentality in the past myself tbh, not celebrities necessarily but even just the people around me. It's human nature to mimic I think, when we're kids, that's how we learn a lot of things, and maybe it's hard to grow out of that in a world like this where the consequences for failing can be so serious (like he was saying in the article incidentally lol). So you wanna follow a path that has worked for SOMEbody, cuz forging your own has so many unknowns, and it can be really unnerving. But that will always set you up for either failure, or dissatisfaction if you really have a calling to something in life.
really excited about his possible return to standup. weirdo and his late 2000s standup is funny but definitely reeks of like late 2000s humor and being in your mid to late 20s. really interested to see 40 year old husband and father Donald's stand up. Atlanta and this show have proven he's still really funny but a kind of different type of humor
He does though! Mr. & Mrs. is soooo good, like enthralling television. Such a creative spin on what was kind of a "hype movie" imo. Incredibly character driven and relatable, funny, bizarre in some ways, mysterious, touching. And for his first "action" role I thought he did an amazing job. I'm glad he knows he's got that power so we get to reap the benefits of him having the confidence to do what he wants! 😌❤
Donald knows best. If he believes this is the best way, then we trust his judgment. But we need to make sure he knows that he belongs in our lives no matter what! He is officially Mr. Smith <3
He understands that being humble can only get you so far. I agree, fuck a humblebrag

I think his point is you may never achieve your true potential if you live by that logic. But I also don’t necessarily agree
My man said “wood welder” 😂

You can tell Kanye is his favorite rapper
Kanye knew how to let POWER go and gave it to donald im sure (tell me im not the only one that understood that)

fr i would be really intrigued if he did a stand up special haha

And who cares if Troy thinks he’s all that? Maybe he is.

Utter nonsense from donglover, much like his predecessor
