Quotes about confidence

The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.

- Sven Goran Eriksson

To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.

- Author unknown

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we

are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that

frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,

talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of

God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing

enlightened about shrinking so people won’t feel insecure around you. We

were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just

in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we

unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are

liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately

honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive

are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to

open up, to discover what is already there.

None of our men are ‘experts’. We have most unfortunately found it

necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an expert because

no one ever considers himself expert if he really knows his job. A man who

knows a job sees so much more to be done than he has done, that he is always

pressing forward and never gives up an instant of thought to how good and

how efficient he is. Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do

more, brings a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one

gets into the ‘expert’ state of mind a great number of things become

impossible.

- Japanese proverb.

When people say to me: “How do you do so many things?” I often answer

them, without meaning to be cruel: “How do you do so little?” It seems to

me that people have vast potential. Most people can do extraordinary

things if they have the confidence or take the risks. Yet most people don’t.

They sit in front of the telly and treat life as if it goes on forever.

into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to

persevere.

May the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,

May Life hold you softly in the palm of Her hand.”

– Old Celtic Blessing
