confidence

When you decide - follow it up with action as spontaneously as possible if not sooner because the quicker you reciprocate with the decision the sooner you shall see results.

You can only be as confident as your repeated interpretations of your self-worth.

...but beautiful mosaics are made of broken pieces.

If you believe in your abilities, it will amaze you what you can accomplish.

Her stare was direct and unwavering, full of confidence earned from painful experience...

Affection is the source of self-confidence, happiness, security, and a comfortable mental state.

Projecting an air of self-assurance will take you a long way.

When people say, "Oh you're so cocky. You're so arrogant," I feel like they're telling me that I think too highly of myself. My question for them is: "Who are you to tell me that I need to think less of myself?

It was the age of confidence. Arrogance was epidemic.

Quality brings security and confidence

The best thing you can wear is self confidence.

It seems to make little sense how a person's self-worth or self-confidence should be wrapped up in how much their jacket is worth or what shoe they are wearing. Does a person's round or pointy-tip shoe really say anything of value about who a person is?It seems that true luxury lies in a freedom from needing that red-bottom shoe, that handbag with all the tiny initials and big price tag, or the latest trend to know that a person truly matters.

No one wanted to hire a clinically depressed person to sell snack foods.

You cannot become good enough for your own approval just like you can't become good enough to have hair. You cannot earn your own self-acceptance just like you can't earn your own ears. You can't become what you are. Stop looking out there. Look in the mirror. You're already everything you've ever wanted to be.

I am selfish. I am brave.

WHAT DOES YOUR WORLD LOOK LIKE?If your world seems dark and those around you speak doubt or defeat, change your circle. Reposition your life until those around you speak hope, confidence, and paths to success.
