Self estee Quotes

“Whatever you lay your hands on, self-esteem is visible.”

“The first place where self-esteem begins its journey is within us.”

“Our own self-esteem is something we can actually twist in whatever way we want.”

“A good self-esteem level is mostly dependant on how we value ourselves without any bias.”

“If someone does not consider those around them to be valuable and hold only themselves in high regard, they too have a very bad self-esteem.”

“A person today who seems to have a great sense of self-esteem has his or her childhood days to thank for it.”

“If we can acquire an attitude of self-belief, then we will surely determine our future actions and our future life opportunities.”

“Genuine self esteem – please understand this – genuine self esteem is not competitive or comparative. Genuine self esteem isn’t expressed by self-glorification at the expense of others, or by trying to make yourself superior to everyone else, or diminishing others in order to elevate yourself. Arrogance, boastfulness, the overestimation of your abilities, reflect low self esteem, even though we’re often encouraged to believe the opposite. In human beings, joy in the simple fact of existence is a core meaning of healthy self esteem. Thus understood, how can you possibly have too much of it?”

“Self-respect is the very cement of character, without which character will not form nor stand; a personal ideal is the only possible foundation for self-respect, without which self-respect degenerates into vanity or conceit, or is lost entirely, its place being taken by worthlessness and the consciousness of worthlessness; and that is the end of all character. It is often said that if we do not respect ourselves no one else will respect us; this is rather a dangerous way to put it; let us rather say that if we are not worthy of our own respect we cannot claim the respect of others. True self-respect is a matter of being and never of mere seeming. As Paulsen says, "It is vanity that desires first of all to be seen and admired, and then, if possible, really to be something; whereas proper self esteem desires first of all to be something, and' then, if possible, to have its worth recognized.”
