If you have days, weeks, months, or even years when your confidence is low, please know you’re not alone.

Even those born with a morepositive personality typehave times when they doubt their abilities or feel incapable of success.

Lacking faith in our abilities, our attractiveness, or our relationship skills is a common theme in human drama.

选取f-confidence isn’t developed by escaping these difficulties, but rather it’s nurtured and strengthened by the way we respond to life challenges and how we view ourselves in spite of them.

How Confidence Quotes Can Boost Your Self-Esteem

没有什么比厉害的感觉self-confidence. Not the self-absorbed, boasty, I’m-better-than-you kind of confidence (which really isn’t confidence at all).

I’m talking about the confidence that exudes from a certain inner knowing that you are capable, interesting, attractive enough, and worthy of love and respect.

• Confident people are able to be humble without appearing meek.
• They can admit mistakes without feeling like failures.
• They can have a beginner’s mindset without seeming like fools.

We all need confident sayings and quotes to remind us of this truth about ourselves.

We need something to jar us into positive confident thinking so we can retrain our brains to accept the truth about our potential to have unfettered confidence in ourselves.

Can Anyone Have Confidence In Themselves?

You don’t have to be wildly successful, the smartest, drop-dead gorgeous to have great confidence in yourself.

You just have to feel comfortable in your own skin.

“Easier said than done,” says you. “Not necessarily,” says me.

Yes, it does help if you are attractive, skilled, and have a naturally outgoing personality.

But these aren’t requirements for confidence.

Confidence is a skillthat can be learned by anyone, even those who see themselves as shy, socially awkward, or unattractive.

In fact, have you ever noticed how a physically attractive person who is rude, narcissistic, or otherwise unpleasant or disengaged suddenly isn’t so attractive anymore?

选取f-confidence is trusting that ultimately you have what it takes to be who you want to be.
