Easyrider Show - Long Beach CA 2016

Well this is the recap on the Easyrider show in Long Beach.  I took a vacation day to go to the show......paid my 20 dollars per person to go and what a disappointment!!!!  Never again.  A waste of time and money.  One vendor with apparel, one with gloves and yes the timeshare dude.....So I won't be returning to any of these Easyrider shows again.

Confidence vs Arrogance

So I am writing because I think there is a confusion about the meaning of these two words. 

The following courtesy of 
www.Merriam-Webster.com

Arrogance
 Simple Definition:
: an insulting way of thinking or behaving that comes from believing that you are better, smarter or more important than other people.

Confidence
Simple Definition:
:  the quality or state of being certain

Simply put I think that being confident is walking into a crowded room without feeling the need to compare yourself to anyone.  Just knowing yourself well enough to be yourself.  Society gets lost with the "keeping up with the Jones" mentality.  Which is all competition of material items.  Who cares?  If you have what is important to you and your family what more do you need?  So really, what we should all be doing is becoming more comfortable in our own skin.  Instead there is this overwhelming need to become more and more arrogant.  I guess its like the over abundance of the "Real Housewives" shows, reality tv and all the drama that comes with that.  It all started with Springer and everyone has followed in his footsteps.  There is always someone that wants to be famous that will do ridiculous stuff for minimum compensation. Just to say look at me, I'm better than you........

How much better would we all have it if we focused on our own confidence and and just stop competing for top "goofball"?  Doesn't it make sense to just like where we each are individually?  If we don't like it then we are the "only" ones that can change it, right?  So get on with it if that is the case.  Sometimes it's not easy, but it is soooo worth it!
