If you find yourself nodding to all of these questions, then you may be the envy of others. However, there are those who possess these characteristics yet still feel like there’s a hole that needs to be filled. As an image consultant, I always find clients of this predicament. This could mean one of many reasons, including a lack of understanding of their true identity. This is often neglected, but knowing your true self is essential in understanding your existence and your level of confidence. Digging deeper into that empty space can mean the discovery of the answers you’ve been searching for.

2. Being a team player and getting along with others is a plus.

3. Getting involved in worthwhile activities helps one feel fulfilled.

4. Attending self-enhancement classes, joining workshops, or enrolling in career-advancement seminars gives one an edge.

5. Concentrating on the niceties of life and putting the negatives on the sidelines foster a positive attitude.
