Self Confidence Quotes Video

by

Over the years, especially since starting this blog, I have collected quotations. Usually classified as “motivational” or “inspirational”, they pop up all over the place! Anything in particular to do with self confidence or self esteem I have copy and pasted into an ever expanding file.

I hope to have an ebook with my favourite 365 quotes ready in the next few weeks (having said that, I had hoped to have it ready last year!).  In the meantime I have tried my had at putting some of these quotes onto photographs, and in turn onto video.

In my motivational pictures post I did say I’m not keen on the very slick posters that are available commercially, and presumably adorn office walls. Whether I’ve gone the opposite way is up to you to decide!

Please give me feedback on what you think – are these videos inspirational or nauseating! Are quotes little more than catchy affirmations, that have little use?

Most of all, leave your favourite quote. Please.

Let it be You – Tribute to Jim Rohn

by

Jim Rohn died yesterday. A leading teacher in the field of personal development, his voice will be heard for many years to come.  I cannot find a video that directly addresses self confidence or self esteem, but this is one of my favourites:-

As he says above:-

"Success is something you attract by the person you become..not something you pursue"

Here are some other quotes from Jim Rohn:-

“Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well”

“Time is more valueable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”

"If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn’t need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around."

"Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day."

"If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary."

"Either you run the day or the day runs you."

"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment."

“If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always gotten.”

Self Confidence quotes

by

I am currently away on vacation, but through the wonders on WordPress I am hoping blogs will continue to appear on Wednesdays and Sundays. These are the days I’ve decided to try to ensure I stick to maintaining this blog. Its sods law that i will start getting comments posted whilst I’m away, but not be able to respond to it – but don’t let that stop you!

Here are a few quotes I like, the top two reflect on things I’ve blogged about, the two on friendship introduce a new concept I will return to…..

“The way to develop self confidence is to do the thing
you fear and get a record of successful experiences
behind you. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a
matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for,
it is a thing to be achieved.”

William Jennings Bryan

“Success depends on getting good at saying no without
feeling guilty. You cannot get ahead with your own goals
if you are always saying yes to someone else’s projects.”

Jack Canfield

“The only way to have a friend
is to be one.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“If you go looking for a friend, you’re going to find they’re very
scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.”

Zig Ziglar

“Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.”

Samuel Johnson
