The Girls Are Not Fine: The cost of ambition, careers and becoming by Harnidh Kaur

The world will always underestimate a woman who underestimates herself first. When you doubt your worth, your potential, or your dreams, you silently diminish your own value.

People sense it before you speak a word. Most people don’t see your capabilities; they see your confidence. Underestimating yourself doesn’t make you humble. It makes you invisible. These thoughts compelled me to read more and learn how to regain my confidence and attain success.

Quotes from the book that piqued me:

💕 "Presence is confidence. When I enter a room, I’m not trying to be the most impressive person. I’m trying to be the most authentic version of myself.” Confidence stops being intimidating the moment it becomes personal."

The author vividly explains that confidence is not linear but cyclical. Some days you’ll feel magnetic. Some days you’ll feel invisible. Confidence doesn’t vanish on low days. It simply rests. True confidence lies in knowing your worth, regardless of how your emotions fluctuate.

The author evokes a spark of confidence within you. She pinpoints how to master the micro-moments of self-respect. She states that self-respect builds self-belief. Every time you:

• say no when needed

• end a draining conversation

• walk away from disrespect

• Prioritize your well-being.

Overall, it is an insightful and life-changing read.
