Self-esteem is earned.

Society rewards confidence. Nature rewards knowledge.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. That’s real power.

Never lose yourself to find others.

Never trade respect for attention.

The real power comes from being real.

Stop quitting when it gets hard.

Don’t let loving someone be the reason you allow them to hurt you.

Renounce all external authority.

Love yourself for what you are, instead of hating yourself for what you are not.

Self-respect is the fruit of discipline.

You don’t need perfection, only progress.

Having self-esteem is easy, obtaining self-respect is the real challenge.

Speak the truth or at least don’t lie.

When you tolerate disrespectful people you disrespect yourself.

You’ll stop caring what people think about you when you realize how seldom they do.

If everybody loves you, something is wrong. Nobody can please everybody.

The goal is not to show how great you are to others, but how vulnerable you are to yourself.

Being well and wellbeing is my way of life.
