You're gorgeous, you old hag, and if I could give you just one gift ever for the rest of your life it would be this. Confidence. It would be the gift of confidence. Either that or a scented candle
I have great faith in fools - self-confidence my friends will call it.
If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality.
Don’t let mental blocks control you. Set yourself free. Confront your fear and turn the mental blocks into building blocks.
Anya looked upon Nin admirably. Having him as a partner-in-crime - if only on this one occasion, which she hoped would only be the start of something more - was more revitalizing than the cheap thrills of a cookie-cutter shallow, superficial romance, where the top priority was how beautiful a person was on the outside.
The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focussed on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts.
Teams that spend a lot of time learning the tricks of the trade will probably never really learn the trade.
This time around I was so lonely that I was forced to be face to face with myself. Realizing at the end of the day I only have me and I didn't seem to like my own company. I decided to I had to make myself into someone I can live with.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.
I do not believe in taking the right decision, I take a decision and make it right.
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.
I would rather be damned by my honesty, than caged by my lies.
Noble and great. Courageous and determined. Faithful and fearless. That is who you are and who you have always been. And understanding it can change your life, because this knowledge carries a confidence that cannot be duplicated any other way.
Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others ... Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth."
(Journal entry, 14 October 1922)
Be in limits, life will never limit you.
To turn your dreams into reality, all your resources, efforts and concentration should be aligned in the same direction.
Despite our battered exterior and in spite of the festering scars and rank filth that overlays it, there is underneath it all the pristine likeness of God Himself. And we would be wise to cast an eye not on the marred exterior, but to be fixed on the glorious interior.
Believing in yourself is the best poetry.
IF YOU CHOKE YOUR POTENTIAL BEFORE IT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A POSSIBILITY YOU WILL NEVER REACH YOUR DESTINY
Let us each take up our flaming torches and mount as the blazing fireballs of light that we are and let's burn the skies and leave it with deep scars and let them be our signatures upon eternity as we go forth!
You don't need to be rich to have high confidence, all you do need is to be proud of yourself and there you'll go with confidence.
Don't ever let others impose their self-limiting beliefs on to you. They don't have the courage and spirit that you do.
Wrinkles ? Why all the fuss ? Think of them as lines of distinction; marks of maturity.
Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it.
When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them.
Control Your Own Destiny or Someone Else Will
Fear is what keeps the walls up, so open the gate and let what you want, in when you want

We are meant to do the work of angels for we are often disguised from ourSelves.
If you saw the size of the BLESSING YOU ARE BECOMING, you would understand the magnitude of the battle you are fighting!
Don't get inspired by others, inspire yourself.
Stop waiting for creative inspiration. Start creating and inspire yourself along the way.
How do you know if someone loves herself? No hairstyle, religion, or ethnicity has ownership of self-love or a greater propensity toward self-hatred. The best way to tell if a woman loves herself is by how she treats herself and others. She makes self-loving choices.
Вера в себя способна творить такие же чудеса, как вера в Господа Бога.
Age is only a number. Keep an active life.
Our true self is made manifest in love.
Believing in yourself means more than simply believing in your own ultimate success; it means believing you will survive failures, disappointments, rejections, and criticism and still persist.
Daily meditation promotes self confidence, peace of mind and strong faith in God.
Confidently step into the future,
knowing that God has got you this far
as a promise that He is able to get you
beyond.
Success is most often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.
Lack of confidence, sometimes alternating with unrealistic dreams of heroic success, often leads to procrastination, and many studies suggest that procrastinators are self-handicappers: rather than risk failure, they prefer to create conditions that make success impossible, a reflex that of course creates a vicious cycle.
If you believe in your dream with all your heart, you can achieve it.
Modesty isn’t always a virtue; it can be a hindrance; a careful measure of personal pride builds confidence and ensures success.
Courage injures the strong ones who have no wisdom, but it motivates the brave ones, to always win.
Talent does not search for the person, in fact the person needs to search for the talent inside him and take it out to show the world.
The first secret of success: Believe in Yourself. Nothing changes in your life until you believe you can do things that are important to you. And if you have a low opinion of yourself, nobody else is likely to raise it.
Fear? What has a man to do with fear? Chance rules our lives, and the future is all unknown. Best live as we may, from day to day.
Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.
You are magnificent beyond measure, perfect in your imperfections, and wonderfully made.
Being in charge of your work life doesn't mean you always move with assurance and sublime self-confidence; it means you keep moving, continuing on your own path, even when you feel shaky and uncertain.
The beauty on the inside, will determine the ugly on the outside.
Having a purpose is the little secret of the nonpretties. Something to do always beats something to look at.
The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.
Each guy stamped the passport of my heart. “You’re worthy.” Stamp. “You’re enough.” “You have not failed completely.” Stamp, stamp.
One concrete way in which we all landscape our sanity is by having our experience of reality confirmed by others. When our experience of reality is disconfirmed by others, our confidence in our own sanity can be undermined.
(page 125, Chapter 9, Graeme Galton)
If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
The moment you become friends with your inner Self, you realize that the failures or hindrances that you met earlier were caused more by your disconnected status with your inner Being.
Self-confidence is contagious.
Once you feel nice about yourself, you have planted the first seed to develop self-confidence.
There are two things essential if you want to enhance your Jedi self-confidence:
1/ belief that it is possible
2/ that self-help is the best help
A Master Jedi feels emotions, but they do not allow them to influence their reasoning. Yoda told Luke that he would know the good from the bad when he was 'calm, at peace.
Jedi act with confidence, move with confidence, and breathe with confidence. Jedi possess a confident calmness in their looks, attitude and
behaviour.
Stop comparing yourself with others. If they are good at something, you too are good at something else. Self-confidence is not measured by your own capabilities versus that of others, but by your own needs.
Concentrate more on your achievements than your failures. Learn to take the failures as opportunities to rectify your errors.
Self-belief, also called self-efficacy, is the kind of feeling you have when you have, like a Jedi, mastered a particular kind of skill and with its help have been able to achieve your set goals.
Your core, lying deep within you, is what makes you what you are. Some call it the soul, the Higher Self, the true self, the being and so on. The name is unimportant once you realize that you are more than your looks and outward appearance.
Jedi are conversationalists and negotiators, bringing people together and solving problems. Jedi listen and feel to what others are saying.
Gone are the days when 19-inch biceps would once command respect. A Jedi doesn’t walk around with their arms flexed and with a thousand yard stare in their eyes. They walk with a good posture, their head held high and with a serious, yet friendly, look on their face.
Humans, unlike Jedi, are powerfully afraid of rejection. We do not survive well alone, so humans as a species are especially vulnerable to thoughts that make us afraid the rest of the “tribe” will desert us to die a sad, lonely death.
Jedi are always assessing situations, actions and possibilities. Jedi don’t just think outside of the box with the help from the Force, they also adapt to situations outside of the box!
Tap into ‘The Force’ and soon, at any given time that you need that extra shot of high octane confidence; you will soon be like a Jedi Master at this technique.
This inner Being is all powerful, intelligent, indestructible and a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. This inner core is truly who and what you are and is perpetually trying to connect with your outward self.
Putting in effort is like riding a bicycle on train tracks, you will get to where you want to go but you will feel every bump along the way.
You must passionately pursue all your dreams.
And I'm not sure if it's G-d, or fate, or just air masses colliding over water, but I will say this: It feels, finally, like flying.
Ask yourself: what is it, that if I believed it down to my core, would change everything?
Great change doesn't come with official endorsement.
The most important point to remember in developing self-confidence is to take responsibility for who we are. This empowers us. We can change anything, do anything, and be anything when we assume full responsibility for ourselves.
When you say, "I need more confidence," what you're really saying is, "I need those people over there to approve of me."
That is the desire to control other people and what they think. The first person who figures out how to do this owns the world.
Tis in ourselves that we are thus or thus. Our bodies are our gardens to the which our wills are gardeners.
Do not just believe in God and neglect the fact that He has an unprecedented belief in you.
Extra miles, extensive preparation and exhaustive efforts usually show astonishing results.
Happiness is a choice you make when you allow faith through the entry gate and fear through the exit gate.
Celebrating your achievements and applauding your triumphs is a sure way to refuel your enthusiasm and keep yourself motivated for your future endeavours.
It is not important for life to meet your great expectations. What is important is that you hold high expectations of yourself and meet them greatly.

Learning is a matter of gathering knowledge; wisdom is applying that knowledge.
You cannot wish for happiness but you can work towards your life goals and create lasting happiness.
To be able to live each day with honor, respect and dignity is the greatest achievement of all.
Believe in yourself. Under-confidence leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy that you are not good enough for your work.
Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.
Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it.
The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead.
Do not despise your gift. We are all valuable.
Do something: be it good or evil, if they ask why you did it, tell them you're different.
Her feelings of fear and helplessness had reached such a pitch that they were suddenly transformed into their opposites. Having overcome them, she felt corageous and self-confident enough to tackle any power on earth; more precisely, she had ceased to worry about herself.
It is easy to smile in the face of a challenge, when we believe in ourselves that we won't back down.
Self care, self love.
Self esteem, self confidence
