Our future is our confidence and self-esteem.

Believe in yourself up here and it will make you stronger than you could ever imagine.

I have terrible periods of lack of confidence. I just don't believe I can do it and no evidence to the contrary will sway me from that view.

Confidence is a plant of slow growth; especially in an aged bosom

If your confidence is based purely on the way you look, you’re setting yourself up for a) years of fretting about how to appear perfect, and b) anxiety / despair as the wrinkles inevitably set in. (Not to mention the fact that the world is FULL of pretty girls – you’re going to have to dig a little bit deeper if you want to stand out in the crowd.) Base your self-belief on what’s in your heart and mind; you’ll never lose your inner beauty.

The better you feel about yourself, the less you feel the need to show off.
