Jon Kabat-Zinn
“Perhaps we just need little reminders from time to time that we are already dignified, deserving, worthy. Sometimes we don't feel that way because of the wounds and the scars we carry from the past or because of the uncertainty of the future. It is doubtful that we came to feel undeserving on our own. We were helped to feel unworthy. We were taught it in a thousand ways when we were little, and we learned our lessons well.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn

Susan  Jeffers
“The sense of "having a goal in your life "will put you in the side of "giving" instead of "getting" ...... most of people focus "more" on what they want from their lives and that could lead to thinking in a (victim-of-life) way ... when you start to play the role of a person who's having a meaning and a goal for his/her life, you will get back the self-esteem you deserve.”
Susan Jeffers, Embracing Uncertainty

“Value yourself first and only then you can learn to value others.”
Charlyn Khater

Nathaniel Branden
“Self-esteem is a particular way of experiencing the self. Its two components are self-efficacy and self-respect. Self-efficacy is the experience of competence in thinking, learning, making appropriate decisions, and responding effectively to the challenges of life. Self-respect is the experience of success, achievement, love, joy, fulfilment - in a word, happiness - are natural and appropriate to us.”
Nathaniel Branden

Lehla Eldridge, Jump, Fall, Fly, From Schooling to Homeschooling to Unschooling

“When self-esteem is fragile,
hurt is frequent.”
Dr. Sandeep Atre

“Though people know the meaning of the word acceptance, people are ignorant about it. Thinking acceptance may hurt their self esteem.”
Pushkar Saraf

Skye Cleary
“Awareness of freedom and responsibility creates anxiety, which is also referred to as anguish or angst. Aspects of romantic attachments can relieve anxieties. For example, Mario Mikulincer et al. argue that loving relationships can act as a "death-anxiety buffering mechanism", since the sense of security, protection, comfort, self-esteem, and social validation that close relationships provide may serve as defensive devices with respect to existential anxiety about the threat of mortality.”
Skye Cleary, The Fictions of Anita Brookner: Illusions of Romance

“Nëpër rrugët e shpirtit
Njehere ti me the se deshiroje
te gjeje veten tek bota ,
dhe une te thashe ,
se pari zbulo boten brenda vetes.
Njehere ti me the se deshiroje te shpetoje
boten nga çdo lufte .
Dhe une te thashe se pari shpeto veten nga bota
dhe nga çdo lufte tenden qe ti perjeton.

Robin Sacredfire
“Seeking for perfection is like seeking for mental health without a definition of what it is. But if psychology and psychiatry are as lost as the people they consistently evaluate, and people are as imperfect as the imperfection they see in others, then I have to conclude that it is as wise to accept judgment as it is to judge first the ones who judge us. But it is also as wise as it is foolish to do so; for it is like seeking for a definition that can’t entirely define us. Because if one answer can explain a thousand questions, a billion questions would never amount to the importance of an answer, which the simpler it is, the more questions it answers. And in that sense, I must say, we are imperfectly perfect.”
Robin Sacredfire

“Though many seem to be independent, they experience conscious captivity because they spend their life conforming to the ideals of others, but never let their own amazing true self, shine on the face of this earth.”
Wayne Chirisa

“The moment you define yourself, you limit yourself to every other possibility.”
Hrishikesh Agnihotri, Enrich The World With Your Presence : HA's Original Quotes, Volume 02

“f the universe slid a dream into your heart, it wasn't just casually tossing it your way—it's more like a cosmic FedEx delivery, complete with a big, bold 'This Way to Your Destiny' sticker. So, unwrap that dream like it's the best gift you've ever received, & get to work bringing it to life. Trust in the divine that brought it to you, & remember: when the universe delivers, it's never with a 'return to sender' option. So, rock that dream, because in the universe's grand plan, it totally is!”

“Never sacrifice the best parts of yourself for someone who can only see flaws. Why dim your light for someone who can't handle your shine? You don’t need anyone’s validation to shine. So, pick up your pieces, embrace your beauty, flaws, and all, and walk away. Trust me, you will be flourishing in your own brilliance, unapologetically you, and love every moment of it. Never dim your sparkle, darling, for someone who can't handle your shine. You shine brighter than a diamond!”
Life is Positive

“Don't be so hard on yourself for feeling lost, confused, or like you haven't achieved all that you wanted to achieve. Life would be boring if you'd done it all already. Be patient. You'll eventually figure it all out. Every experience will get you to where you are supposed to be. Every loss, every heartbreak, and every mistake. Don't be afraid to mess up, and don't expect success overnight. Get lost; get so damn lost and find yourself over and over again. Believe in yourself a little more.”
Life is Positive

“You just look really good. Wasn't sure if it was for a guy."
I look down and the back at her wishing she was at the age that she'd understand that getting dressed for yourself will always be more fulfilling than doing it for a man. "No, Margot. I did this for me.”
Q.B. Tyler, The Nanny Is Off Limits

“No one’s life is perfect. Don’t let social media fool you.”
Abraham Cezar

“That was when I looked at myself and said: I love you, I respect you, and I will make you great.”
Abraham Cezar
