esteem

Do we take less pride in the possession of our home because its walls were built by some unknown carpenter, its tapestries woven by some unknown weaver on a far Oriental shore, in some antique time? No. We show our home to our friends with the pride as if it were our home, which it is. Why then should we take less pride when reading a book written by some long-dead author? Is it not our book just as much, or even more so, than theirs? So the landowner says, __ook at my beautiful home! Isn__ it fine?_ And not, __ook at the home so-and-so has built._ Thus we shouldn__ cry, __ook what so-and-so has written. What a genius so-and-so is!_ But rather, __ook at what I have read! Am I not a genius? Have I not invented these pages? The walls of this universe, did I not build? The souls of these characters, did I not weave?

Raimon was amused to see that the countess Carenza grew more beautiful by the day: her expression has softened and the pouches under her eyes had disappeared. She carried herself confidently, secure in the knowledge that she was fascinating to one pair of eyes at least.

Fighting to fit in. Confidence is paper thin.

Stay out of the court of self-judgment, for there is no presumption of innocence.

Hold yourself in great esteem.

The actual confident man, the man truly sure of himself, is not he who esteems himself higher than others, but he who is sure enough that he can bear to esteem others higher than himself.

Endow yourself with healthy self-esteem. What is the feeling tone in your life that radiates in you and makes you shine, that makes you feel whole, that makes you feel your heart? That feeling tone, which we long to hear from others, is the tone we want to practice with ourselves. That__ where we want to live with ourselves. It doesn__ happen from the outside in. That__ why it__ called self-esteem.

Do not compare yourself with anybody. Compare yourself with yourself, for yourself and by yourself. We are all uniquely pottered and purposed by our creator!

Self care, self love.Self esteem, self confidence

But more important than the food I put into my body are thoughts I put into my mind. Thoughts of bitterness like, __ hate her!_ Thoughts of despair like, __'ll never be happy again._ Thoughts of fear like, __ could never do that!_ And thoughts of worry, thoughts of greed and thoughts of self-loathing____ so stupid._ A constant diet of these killer thoughts will destroy any of us long before heart burn or cholesterol.

The glory of fame isn't in having so many people know you, but in having so many people know you care. Otherwise, it's like being drawn to a fire to find no warmth.

Superiority complex does not mean "pride" although it appears to be so in the eyes of those who want to see it so. When you feel a higher esteem over the obstacles you desire to surmount, you highly overcome them and can still count a reserved energy to spare!

You have been __elf-pitying_ for long years now and things don__ seem to improve. Just try a few days of good self-esteeming_ and you__l see things taking a better shape!

Never trust a person that doesn't trust you... If they lack trust they don't have faith in you. If they lack faith then they don't esteem you highly. If they lack esteem for you than how can you expect them to treat you fairly?

The greater the gap between self perception and reality, the more aggression is unleashed on those who point out the discrepancy.

Life is ten percent what you experience and ninety percent how you respond to it.

The presence of pain should not be the reason for your low self-image. Boldness is the ability to stand tall even when the valley seems deep. Your pain will bring gain. Just believe and go to work!
