“If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.” “If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” “Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.”
“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” “The worst loneliness is to not be comfortable with yourself.” “Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.”
One of the greatest regrets in life is being what others would want you to be, rather than being yourself. When you stop living your life based on what others think of you real life begins. At that moment, you will finally see the door of self acceptance opened.
Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weakness well, and have a positive view of yourself.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” — Gandhi. “Live for what's worth dying for, and leverage technology to create the world you wish to see.”
“Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.” “Keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
Most researchers agree that we can influence our self-esteem, and Nathaniel Branden suggests six practices that form our self-esteem: living consciously, self-acceptance, self-responsibility, self-assertiveness, living purposefully, and personal integrity.
