Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not deserving. ~Maxwell Maltz Self Esteem Quotes - You Are Unique!
Be yourself. If you water yourself down to please people or to fit in or to not offend anyone, you lose the power, the passion, the freedom and the joy of being uniquely you. It's much easier to love yourself when you are being yourself. ~Dan Coppersmith Self-love, is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting. ~William Shakespeare If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself. ~Barbara De Angelis Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ~Plato Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Because your existence in time and space is unique, there are lives that only you can touch. ~Harry Palmer If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person. ~Fred Rogers If we really love ourselves, everything in our life works. ~Louise Hay People who do not love themselves can adore others, because adoration is making someone else big and ourselves small. They can desire others, because desire comes out of a sense of inner incompleteness, which demands to be filled. But they can not love others, because love is an affirmation of the living growing being in all of us. If you don't have it, you can't give it. ~Andrew Matthews When the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it may be that they take better care of it there. ~Cecil Selig A healthy self-love means we have no compulsion to justify to ourselves or others why we take vacations, why we sleep late, why we buy new shoes, why we spoil ourselves from time to time. We feel comfortable doing things which add quality and beauty to life. ~Andrew Matthews Accept everything about yourself - I mean everything. You are you and that is the beginning and the end - no apologies, no regrets. When you adopt the viewpoint that there is nothing that exists that is not part of you, that there is no one who exists who is not part of you, that any judgment you make is self-judgment, that any criticism you level is self-criticism, you will wisely extend to yourself an unconditional love that will be the light of the world. ~Harry Palmer Self Esteem Quotes - You Are Divine!

Go out there and do something remarkable. ~Wendy Wasserstein If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. ~Vincent Van Gogh It's not what you are that holds you back, It's what you think you're not.

We can never do the right thing as long as we are out to please someone else. ~Alice Miller Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with. When we are no longer able to change a situation...

A person's worth in this world is estimated according to the value they put on themselves. ~Jean De La Bruyere I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own.

People will take you very much at your own reckoning. Nothing builds self-esteem and self-confidence like accomplishment. The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself. The rare moment is not the moment when there is something worth looking at, but the moment when we are capable of seeing.
