Loving Me, Loving You

Bold rather than arrogant, confident rather than cocky, the differences between the attitudes or attributes are huge, and a wise young friend of mine pointed to how each sets a tone, with bold and confident instilling trust while arrogance and cockiness instill the opposite in relationship. I think bold is oh so very attractive given the fact that insecurity is like a rampid disease, inferiority claiming the lives of many, stealing their dreams and relegating people to the sidelines rather than the spotlight in their own existence.  What the heck, how does this happen?  What steals away the fire of knowing how fabulous we are designed to be, what cold water is poured freely on the fire that is, leaving smouldering coals and a I can't put my finger on the memory of what greatness looks and feels like ghost of something that could be?  Bold, confident, this means claiming who I am, who you are. This isn't a threat to others, because it calls them forth too, domino effect welcome.  Loving me means I model you loving you, and so on and so on, and so on...
