quotations about confidence
Confidence is ignorance. If you're feeling cocky, it's because there's something you don't know.
EOIN COLFER

Captivating Confidence
For me, being confident means being in complete peace with oneself. I've learned to love myself and I am proud to be who I am. Treat yourself as you would treat others, at the end of the day you are your biggest supporter.

My confidence was of the hothouse variety, carefully cultivated under highly regulated conditions. One wrong look, one mean comment, and my facade would wither.

We all intuitively know that confidence is important. Most of us know that if you always struggle with confidence then something is wrong. Either you are suffering from low self-esteem or you are working or living in the wrong place. It just doesn't match. However, did you know that if you never struggle with confidence, you obviously are not stretching yourself far enough. You are not pressing to the edge of your abilities. In other words, the only way to never struggle with confidence is to play it safe. Play it known. Play it in a way that you achieve stability, but lose opportunity.

Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Legitimate self-confidence is a winner. The true test of self-confidence is the courage to be open--to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source. Self-confident people aren't afraid to have their views challenged. They relish the intellectual combat that enriches ideas.

For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
KING SOLOMON
Proverbs 3:26
Low self-confidence is simply a problem of Awareness. Once you are aware of the Truth about yourself, you will be able to understand why you are the way you are and, most importantly, learn to love and accept yourself.

Self-confidence cannot be totally destroyed, for it is an inbuilt ingredient of our growth and evolution. What happens is that self-confidence is suppressed by the conditioning of the mind by external forces. A negative syndrome is formed. We can overcome this syndrome by taking a strong, positive view of life.

So my confidence doesn't come from not having any fear. It comes from trusting that in spite of my fear, I'm going to act; I'm going to take one step after another toward my goal.

Confidence
Confidence and doubt are like two bulls in a car--either confidence is going to stay or your doubts or insecurities are going to stay, but there is not room for both to remain.
KEITH JOHNSON
The Confidence Makeover
There are those who lack confidence in their own abilities, timid, fearing ones who always underrate their own efforts. Mankind is, however, not largely afflicted with this class.

20,000 Quips & Quotes
Does everyone feel this way? When I was young, I was perpetually overconfident or insecure. Either I felt completely useless, unattractive, and worthless, or that I was pretty much a success, and everything I did was bound to succeed. When I was confident, I could overcome the hardest challenges. But all it took was the smallest setback for me to be sure that I was utterly worthless. Regaining my self-confidence had nothing to do with success...whether I experienced it as a failure or triumph was utterly dependent on my mood.
