SELF-ESTEEM
|
Learning
to let things go and forgive isn't always easy, but
when we truly forgive, it helps foster better health,
better relationships, a deeper sense of purpose and
self worth and a feeling of connection to others.

Self-esteem
is a huge piece of my work. You have to believe it's possible
and believe in yourself.
Because after you've decided what you want, you have to
believe it's possible,
and possible for you, not just for other people.
Then you need to seek out models, mentors, and coaches.
-- Jack Canfield
Drugs
are a waste of time.
They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything
that goes along with with your self-esteem.
They're no good at all.
-- Kurt Cobain

I
was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I
really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been
feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age
who had probably felt bad about themselves.

Women
do not have to sacrifice personhood if they are mothers.
They do not have to sacrifice motherhood in order to be
persons. Liberation was meant to expand women's opportunities,
not to limit them. The self-esteem that has been found in
new pursuits can also be found in mothering."

"Having
visited Oxfam-funded school programs in rural communities
has made me realise how vital education is to developing
countries in bringing people out of poverty and giving
them a sense of dignity, self-worth and confidence."

I think everyone does.

As
long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be
free. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem,
is the most powerful weapon against the long night
of physical slavery.

"It's
incredibly restorative. A lot of people find great solace
in gardening. It teaches self-worth, patience, reliance,
persistence. It teaches us the circle of life. It teaches
us that things die, and from that new things come."
~ Nancy Kuhajda

"With
realization of one's own potential and self-confidence
in one's ability, one can build a better world."

I think
high self-esteem is overrated. A little low self-esteem
is actually quite good.
Maybe you're not the best, so you should work a little harder.
-- Jay Leno
If I
had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self-esteem
first, and the house later. I'd finger-paint more, and point
the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd
take more hikes and fly more kites. I'd stop playing serious,
and seriously play. I would run through more fields and
gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
-- Diane Loomans, from "If I Had My Child To Raise Over
Again"
You
are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young
as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as
your hope, as old as your despair.

“I've
learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not
be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.”

I don't
think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you
have to be rich to have self-esteem.
-- Tom Petty
“Self-esteem
isn't everything; it's just that there's nothing without
it”

I emphasize self-esteem, self-confidence, and dignity,
not as an ideal, but as a real test of community organization.
Without leadership development, community organizations
do not have staying power.
