Confidence is honoring yourself...

Taking action to build self-esteem.

What we believe, 

we create.

if we believe that we somehow "not enough",

That is very image we project.

What we project 

we also tend to attract.

those who are self-critical, 

or Who feel "less then" others, 

will tend to draw people 

and circumstances into their lives

that are not in their best interests.

We live in consumer society 

which send the message

that we feel compelled to acquire things 

to make us Thinner,

Less Wrinkled, 

more Beautiful, 

Powerful 

etc,

the end result often leaves people 

feeling empty

at the end of the day.

Direct your attention instead 

to your positive

qualities and talents.

Confidence doesn't come from diet pills, 

beauty products,

or any other "confidence" creator.

Confidence is focusing 

on our natural talents 

and positive qualities.

The more confidence we become, 

the more capable we are.

The end result of developing a Strong sense 

of self worth

is that we begin to naturally 

attract Healthier conditions 

and

Healthier relationships.

And Remember, 

What You Think about, 

You Bring About!

Some people, 

no matter how old they get, 

never lose their beauty - 
they merely move it 
from their faces 
into their hearts.
  

~Martin Buxbaum

Whenever you want to know 
how rich you are?

Never count your currency,

Just try to Drop a Tear 
and count how many 

hands reach out 
to WIPE that- 
that is true richness.

~ Unknown

"Success is never final.

Failure is never fatal. 
It is courage 
that counts." 

~Winston Churchill 

Respect yourself 
enough 
to walk away from

anything that no longer 
serves you,

grows you 
or
 makes you happy. 

~ Anonymous 

It is good to have an end 

to journey towards;

but it is the journey 

that matters, 

in the end.

~ Ursula K. LeGuin

Yesterday was a great start.  Today, you can do even better. What you've done  up to this point is impressive.  What you Can do now is phenomenal. You've put great time,  effort,  pain  and sacrifice into becoming who you are.  Now is when you can harness  all that Value to become  the best of who you can be. Feel the goodness and the rightness  of your past accomplishments.  You are here to make a difference,  and when you do,  you know without a doubt  that you're connected  to your deepest purpose. The warm sun shines,  the cold wind blows,  and life offers new joys and challenges  with each dawning day.  Through it all,  no matter what,  you can offer your own unique  value in return. Learn from the disappointments  and build on the successes. This is your time to fulfill your best possibilities. ~Ralph Marston~
