Coolness is Subjective
Lots of people want to be cool, but what does being cool even mean? Coolness is surprisingly hard to pin down and define, mainly because it’s so subjective. One person might think skinny jeans are cool, while another person may think they’re totally outdated. But neither person is right or wrong. Coolness is in the eye of the beholder!
That means you get to define coolness for yourself. And you know what we find truly cool? Someone who embraces who they are and lives life to the fullest. Ready to adopt a coolness mindset? Here are some tips:
- Own who you are. Anyone is capable of being cool. The first step? Embracing the unique things that make you you. Don’t worry about trying to change yourself to fit a certain mold. There’s nothing cooler than someone who knows who they are and doesn’t pretend to be like anyone else.
- Do things you love. Cool people don’t sit around all day trying to look cool. They go out and do things they’re passionate about! Whether that’s hiking a mountain, starting a new painting, road-tripping to a new place, or having a photo shoot with your pets, the important thing is that you’re living life and having fun doing it.
- Be friendly and open-minded. Despite what you might see in some movies and shows, cool people aren’t mean and rude to others. Instead, genuinely cool people are nice to everyone—it’s part of why they have so many friends! Put yourself out there and be friendly to new people you meet. You never know when you might make a lasting friendship.
By keeping these tips in mind, you can live your best life with a coolness mindset and always be cool, regardless of your circumstances. And remember: you get to define what cool means to you personally.
