To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.
One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do.
If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.
People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you.
Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.
You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.
