Quotes about Self-esteem

Work Through Your Insecurities:

If you worry about what other people think of you, it's because you have more confidence in their opinion than you have in your own.

I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.

If I had a lock of hair out of place then I would not feel OK.

I don't know why it is, exactly, but the people with the healthiest self-esteem are also the greatest at intimacy. I'm not talking about arrogant people. I'm talking about people who know they are both good and bad yet believe at the deepest level they are really good for people. It's a beautiful moment when somebody wakes up to this reality, when they realize God created them so other people could enjoy them, not just endure them.

Insecurity is unnecessary — you will get what you deserve.

What others think about you is none of your business.

People aren't thinking about us nearly as much as we might think they are.

Labels only stick if I let them.

Overindulgence is overindulgence. And limitless indulgence in food always has consequences—it compromises our health, dimmishes energy to pursue our calling, and affects the way we feel about ourselves

I had allowed to settle into the core of who I am. I talked about myself in ways I would never let another person.

And so was this. These words—"Not in my presence will you talk about yourself in this way"—they don't brush off easily. Nor should they. Sometimes a phrase lands in your soul with such weight it leaves the deepest impression. I collect these phrases like other people collect stamps and Beanie Babies. I fill the unlined pages of notebooks from Walmart with these phrases. These words that move me are treasures.
