Quotes For Improving Your Confidence
Confidence changes things.
Napoleon Hill once said, ‘Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.’ That’s also true for how you talk to yourself.
Thoughts and spoken words change things. They change how you feel about yourself, how you feel about life, what you notice, and what you do.
So, regardless of whether you’ve always struggled with your confidence and self-esteem, or whether you’ve only recently experienced a downturn in either your confidence or both your confidence and self-esteem, below are 29 confidence quotes to empower you.
