181 Best Confidence Quotes That Hold Your Head Up Always

Confidence

Confidence is the most beautiful thing you can ever wear. It shows others that you believe in yourself, and when you believe in yourself, other people will too. Being confident doesn't mean that you are always right.

Being confident means that you are okay with being wrong. You can speak your mind and share your thoughts without fear of what others will say or think about you. Even when you are wrong, you are open to seeing other people's perspectives and learning from them.

Confidence attracts people to you. This is why you find that confident people have many friends or more people around them who want to talk to them. People like being around confident people.

Being confident makes you easy to spot anywhere. People always feel and recognize your presence. You easily strike conversations with others. People like you because of your courage, but others may dislike you because they wish they were you.

Not everyone will be fond of you when you are confident. Some people will be your fans in denial because they wish they had that same confidence. They will hate you because they lack it. They may even spread lies about you to make others hate you too.

However, if you are confident, you should never let what others say or think govern your life. You are enough, and if someone else doesn't like that, that's their problem. Never shrink yourself to make others comfortable.

Remind yourself of who's life you are living and keep living it on your terms. Be kind to others, empathize with people who may not be as confident as yourself, go after your dreams, and never let anyone pull you down to their level.

Our confidence quotes will make you unstoppable because you are a Porsche with no brakes, and nothing should stand in your way!

There is a problem with writers. If what a writer wrote was published and sold many, many copies, the writer thought he was great. If what a writer wrote was published and sold a medium number of copies, the writer thought he was great. If what a writer wrote was published and sold very few copies, the writer thought he was great. If what the writer wrote never was published and he didn't have enough the money to publish it himself, then he thought he was truly great. The truth, however, was there was very little greatness. It was almost nonexistent, invisible. But you could be sure that the worst writers had the most confidence, the least self-doubt. Anyway, writers were to be avoided, and I tried to avoid them, but it was almost impossible. They hoped for some sort of brotherhood, some kind of togetherness. None of it had anything to do with writing, none of it helped at the typewriter.

If you see yourself in a favorable light, if your image of yourself is pleasant, if this visual concept of yourself cannot be shaken by temporary defeats, then you have reached the goal achieved by the most fortunate. Not everyone reaches this mental state; in fact, many people do not even believe it is possible. Happiness and peace of mind are a matter of consciousness. We must create the inner-harmony we desire. As we raise our level of consciousness we become more in tune with the true nature of our being. This type of awareness is not an accident, it comes from study and an understanding that we are truly creative.

She read aloud to me, her soft voice mingling with the frogs' croaking and the grasshoppers landing softly around us. I did not hear her words so much as the cadence of her voice. She'd obviously read the book many times before, and so she read flawlessly and confidently, and I could hear her smile in the reading of it, and the sound of that smile made me think that maybe I would like novels better if Alaska Young read them to me.

I'm proud that I'm surrounded by very strong women.

I want to get my act together. And I want to stop needing to dress like a woman. But I just don’t have the confidence. So, that’s why I’m hopeless. (internally) My heart aches.

(aloud) Maybe I shouldn’t even exist. I’m sure there’s no good reason that I was born. And yet I’m still alive. I really have some nerve.

If you want to be confident, find out who you are by always believing the best about yourself. You do that by refusing to think or talk about the way you don’t want to be. You must see yourself exactly the way you want to be — not in the future, but now. Today (and every day moving forward), you want to think, walk, talk and act like the person you want to become.

Sierra felt full of hope and confidence in God. She knew who she was. And she knew Whose she was. Whatever mysterious plan God had for her life, it would be an interesting one. As Christy had said earlier, God writes a different story for each person. Sierra decided hers might not be a bestseller or even a thriller. It certainly wasn't a romance. But it was turning into a fine mystery. And she could live with that.

I… There was a time when I stopped talking. Just like you. My reasons were a little bit different, but I think the feelings of being ashamed of myself and hating myself are the same. Here, it says to “like yourself.” What does that mean? Good things - how are you supposed to find them? I only know things that I hate about myself. Because that’s all I know, I hate myself. But even if you force yourself to find good things, it feels so empty. It doesn’t work that way. People like your teacher just don’t get it. I think when you hear someone say they like you, for the first time, then you can begin to like yourself. I think when someone accepts you, for the first time, you feel like you can forgive yourself a little. You can begin to face your fears with courage.
