5 Tips to Get a Kanye West Sized Confidence

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Mass Amherst chapter.

“I still think I am the greatest.”

– Kanye West

Whether you love him or hate him, Kanye West can teach us all a thing or two about having killer confidence.  Here are some valuable quotes articulated by Chicago’s Hip-Hop King.

1. Stay true to yourself and what makes YOU happy.

“I refuse to accept other people’s ideas of happiness for me. As if there’s a ‘one size fits all’ standard for happiness.”

2. Never Settle.

“Know your worth! People always act like they’re doing more for you than you’re doing for them.”

3. You are in charge of your own future.

“Nobody can tell me where I can and can’t go.”

4. Credit yourself for your own extraordinary talents.

5. Believe in yourself.

“If you’re a Kanye West fan, you’re not a fan of me, you’re a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. I’m just the espresso.”

Pretentious, maybe, but always remember to be your biggest fan.
