I sometimes have an over-confidence that can be viewed as arrogance.

I always wondered if I was supposed to be excellent at something or not. I think, because of that, I have a lot of insecurities about myself.

Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.

Confidence has nothing to do with what you look like. If you obsess over that, you'll end up being disappointed in yourself all the time. Instead, high self-esteem comes from how you feel in any moment. So walk into a room acting like you're in charge, and spend your energy on making the people around you happy.

Sometimes the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making someone else look bad. And I'm tired of making other people feel good about themselves.

To establish true self-esteem we must concentrate on our successes and forget about the failures and the negatives in our lives.

I suffer from low self-esteem. I had horrible self-esteem growing up. You really have to save yourself because the critic within you will eat you up. It's not the outside world - it's your interior life, that critic within you, that you have to silence.

Don't worry so much about your self-esteem. Worry more about your character. Integrity is its own reward.

Self-esteem is a powerful force within each of us... Self-esteem is the experience that we are appropriate to life and to the requirements of life.
