We are exactly what our history made us to be. - Stephen Richards, Boost Your Self Esteem

"Feeling indifferent or reserved about doing something is a signal that it is probably not correct after all."

"Our own self-esteem is something we can actually twist in whatever way we want."

"Failing to make it to the list of the best 5 students in class or not being named the team captain should not make anyone feel like they have failed."

"For us to regard others as worthy, we have to begin by regarding ourselves as worthy."

"What we perceive about ourselves is greatly a reflection of how we will end up living our lives."
