Empowering quotes about confidence by Barbara de Angelis
Build your confidence
“There are only so many skills you can learn to master in life, only a limited number of abilities you can acquire. So, if your confidence in yourself is based on what you can do well, you will only feel confident part of the time, when you are doing that particular activity.”
“Confidence is something that ought to transcend what we know and what we do.”
“Sometimes we feel like imposters when, on the outside, we’ve achieved things that we feel should give us confidence but on the inside, we don’t feel confident at all.”
True confidence comes from within
“True confidence has nothing to do with what is happening in your outer life. True confidence isn’t created because of what you do, but because of your belief in the ability you have within to do anything you want to.”
“When you base your confidence on who you are, instead of what you accomplish, you have created something that no one or no circumstance can ever take away from you.”
Embrace failure
“To succeed, you have to do something and be very bad at it for a while. You have to look bad before you can look really good.”
“Replace the thought: I’ll feel really good about myself when… with the thought: right now, I feel really good about myself because…”
“When you only set out to do what you already do, you never develop a true sense of confidence.”
“When you limit your dreams, you limit your life.”
“True confidence doesn’t come from you not having any fear. It comes from trusting yourself to act in spite of your fear.”
Confidence is not about ego
“Being confident is not the same thing as having an over-inflated ego. Being confident means believing in yourself. Ego means having to prove you’re better than others.”
“Being a confident person means developing your confidence equally in all three areas — behavioural, emotional and spiritual — so that you’re living a life that is balanced and powerful.”
Behavioural confidence
“Remember: the most important key to developing behavioural confidence is to keep taking action. The more you trust yourself to go forward, the more confidence you’ll feel.”
Emotional confidence
“Remember: emotional confidence is something that you can only develop on the inside. The more you connect with and honor what is inside your heart, the more emotionally confident you will feel, and the more powerfully you’ll be able to relate to others.”
Spiritual confidence
“Ultimately, spiritual confidence is a quiet, gentle sense of peace. It fills your heart and nurtures your spirit. It allows you to travel your path knowing that you are on the right road, and trusting that wherever you are is just where you need to be.”
Start feeling more confident right now
“You have everything you need inside of you right now to live the life you are dreaming of.”
“Any lack of confidence you feel is simply an illusion. You are a magnificent, perfect child of the Universe. You are powerful beyond measure.”
“The more you love yourself and enjoy this life, the more you honor that which created you.”
“The more you manifest your true beauty and express your unique gift, the more the Universe will rejoice.”
“That’s why you are here — to be as extraordinarily outrageous a ‘you’ as possible.”
