The dictionary defines confidence as "the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust."

When we feel confident in others, we know and trust in their ability to do what they have promised.

When we feel confident in ourselves, we are able to trust in our own abilities, qualities, and judgement.

Self-confidence is important to both your physical health and your psychological well-being. When you believe in yourself you're more likely to try new things, devote your time and energy to tasks that matter, make good lifestyle choices, and foster healthy relationships.

Many of us struggle with confidence issues. In an age of social media, it can be difficult not to compare ourselves with other people. We might lack confidence at work, in public speaking, or in meeting new people, which makes us fear that we aren't taken seriously or that we won't meet new friends or a significant other.

But the great news is, we can do many things to help boost our self-confidence levels. From taking better care of our bodies to journaling, quitting social media and reading confidence-boosting quotes, there are plenty of ways to build trust in ourselves.

Here at keepinspiring.me, we want to help you reach a whole new level of self-confidence!

Self-Confidence Quotes

It is certainly true that confidence is attractive. A person who believes in themselves and what they are doing is definitely more attractive than a person who cowers on the sidelines hoping no one will notice them.

There is, however, a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Psychology Today tells us: "the best kind of confidence is like a classical virtue: it strikes the "golden mean" between self-doubt and arrogance, allowing a person to embody his or her positive traits without bragging about them."

While some of us are much quieter and less open than others, it doesn't mean that we can't work on becoming more confident in ourselves. These quotes are all about finding self-confidence, facing the fear, and doing it anyway.

"Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing." – Theodore Roosevelt

Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.

Lao Tzu

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson

Self-Belief Quotes

A big part of being and feeling confident is believing in yourself! Self-esteem, self-value, self-respect, self-love… they all start with you!

Believing in yourself, having the confidence to live the life you've always imagined, is the ultimate goal for many people. But a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. If believing in your own abilities, qualities, and judgement isn't something that comes naturally to you, start small.

Challenge yourself to do something new.

Whether it's getting off the sofa to go out for a run, making friends with a stranger you see everyday, jumping into charity work, or even starting a new business… you don't have to get it right first time. What matters is that you stick with it and have faith in yourself.

These quotes are all about finding a sense of self-belief, and valuing and loving yourself for exactly who you are.

"When you start living the life of your dreams, there will always be obstacles, doubters, mistakes and setbacks along the way. But with hard work, perseverance and self-belief there is no limit to what you can achieve." – Roy T. Bennett

David J. Schwartz

Depression weighs you down like a rock in a river. You don't stand a chance. You can fight and pray and hope you have the strength to swim, but sometimes, you have to let yourself sink. Because you'll never know true happiness until someone or something pulls you back out of that river–and you'll never believe it until you realize it was you, yourself who saved you.

Alysha Speer

"It doesn't matter if thousands of people believe in you, unless You believe in You." – Maddy Malhotra

The person in life that you will always be with the most, is yourself. Because even when you are with others, you are still with yourself, too! When you wake up in the morning, you are with yourself, laying in bed at night you are with yourself, walking down the street in the sunlight you are with yourself.What kind of person do you want to walk down the street with? What kind of person do you want to wake up in the morning with? What kind of person do you want to see at the end of the day before you fall asleep? Because that person is yourself, and it's your responsibility to be that person you want to be with. I know I want to spend my life with a person who knows how to let things go, who's not full of hate, who's able to smile and be carefree. So that's who I have to be.
