May our effort, confidence and concern for others be the altar from which we pray for personal abundance.
With courage and confidence, let our lives confirm the highest and best qualities we know we have. And, with that, we can avoid the need to prove those qualities to anyone.
Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.
Confience comes not from always being right but from not fearing being wrong.
Confidence is preparation, everything else is beyond your control.
For you, a hero, greatness is certain and doubt is zero.
The person who will truly understand and appreciate you, the one you deserve, has not come into your life yet
Your attitude, almost always determines your altitude in life.
You could wait for the world to invite you to the banquet and the ball. Or you could just show up in your red dress and your headdress ready to boogie.
I found this quote on a poster. They're not really my words, but it was made from one of those school warehouses that crank out all kinds of cheesy phrases. This one, however, really had me thinking and since then it has never left my mind.

"Human beings are not comparable. You can't compare us any more than you can compare roses and oranges, or mountains and the sea. You might prefer living by the sea to living in the mountains. You certainly like some people better than you like others. Preferences are perfectly valid…they're just your style asserting itself again. But you'd feel pretty silly saying 'The sea is better than the mountains.' It's every bit as silly to go around saying 'I'm better than Mary, but Joe is better than me.'"
If we were in tune and communing with God every moment, where would
be the need to pray or ask for anything? We would have such a
perfect sense of well-being, of complete confidence in our dependence
upon Him, that we would feel a constant inner assurance: "He knows
what He is doing with me. I cannot always understand His way, but I
am content in the realization that He knows what is best." That is
surrender.
"If someone like you doesn't care a whole lot, nothing's going to get better, it's not."
"any dream will do"
"Guts are a combination of confidence, courage, conviction,
strength of character, stick-to-itiveness, pugnaciousness,
backbone, and intestinal fortitude. They are mandatory for anyone
who wants to get to and stay at the top."
If life is a path, we are barefoot and we each scatter before us the contents of two bags hanging from our shoulders. From the first bag -- sharp nails of worry, fear, regret and doubt, or from the second bag -- rose petals of hope, joy, friendship and confidence. If life is a path...we are the masters of that path.
Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.
Confidence comes from victory, but strength comes from the struggle.
To thine own self be true.
Be who you are, say what you feel, because the ones who mind don't matter, and the ones who matter don't mind.
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face... The danger lies in refusing to face the fear, in not daring to come to grips with it... You must make yourself succeed every time. You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt
"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."
-Michelangelo
An axiomatic system establishes a reverberating relationship between what a mathematician assumes (the axioms) and what he or she can derive (the theorems). In the best of circumstances, the relationship is clear enough so that the mathematician can submit his or her reasoning to an informal checklist, passing from step to step with the easy confidence the steps are small enough so that he cannot be embarrassed nor she tripped up.
The self-righteousness and other ego-puffery that makes missionaries and evangelists out of Christians is in truth a measure of how far they are from even the one thing they think is most certainly true, i.e. the confidence that they are truly Christians.
Danger breeds best on too much on confidence.
I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence.
All the best things I did at Apple came from (a) not having money, and (b) not having done it before, ever.
