It wasn’t always a straight line of success for the son of a Pentecostal minister and a beauty shop owner from the Bronx. Going through a rough childhood, Washington struggled through much of his schooling, falling drastically in university that they suggested he “takes a break.” As he said in his words-“I was flunking out of college”.

Confidence attracts greatness, do you believe that? If you do not, here is what I believe is the reason, doubt. It is a sneaky monster that crawls into your thoughts, making you lose faith in yourself, your ideas, your potential, and your abilities. This monster has led many people today to live less than their potential. They let doubt fill their thoughts, feeding off of them like a leach. I struggled with an internal enemy called doubt. This led to self-doubt ruling over me, I always thought only a few people could have such confidence that radiates around them. Some of my schoolmates in high school were awesome in just about anything they did. I thought they were born different with something that made them glow amidst their mates. I discovered that no successful person on their first day in the world said hey everybody; "I am born with confidence". No, they learned to be confident. You can learn to be super confident too. If like me, you thought confidence was only for a certain group of people to have, stop right now, and let go of that thought. Confidence isn't only for a few, it's for everyone. It is a luxurious brand that anyone no matter their status, background, or region can have. Confidence is the new cool. Nothing great has ever been achieved without confidence and belief in one's self. Have you ever noticed how a simple word can make you feel energized to accomplish just about anything? Simple words like quotes are powerful and capable of changing one's perception, and life, and help gain confidence. Reading a good set of quotes can teach you something that others have learned in a lifetime. I believe quotes can help remind you of how incredibly awesome you are and help you believe in yourself. I have gathered some quotes to remind you of how awesome you are. Confidence quotes to help you believe in yourself What could we accomplish if we knew we could not fail?– Eleanor Roosevelt Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it.Bruce Lee It is confidence in our bodies, minds, and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures  Oprah Winfrey If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.–Vincent Van Gogh Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.– Lucille Ball Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.— Golda Meir With the realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.– Dalai Lama 15 John Lennon Quotes On Love, Life, And Peace Just believe in yourself. Even if you don’t, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.– Venus Williams Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.— Peter T. Mcintyre A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.— Mark Twain Confidence is when you believe in yourself and your abilities, arrogance is when you think you are better than others and act accordingly.— Stewart Stafford We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?— Marianne Williamson 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 You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. - Zig Ziglar With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world. - Dalai Lama We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies. - Roderick Thorp Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right. Henry Ford You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them. - Michael Jordan To anyone that ever told you you’re no good … They’re no better.— Hayley Williams As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they’re yours.— Richard Bach If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.— T. Harv Eker We have to learn to be our own best friends because we fall too easily into the trap of being our own worst enemies.— Roderick Thorp Read more quotes like these: 26 Quotes About Laughter and Its Incredible Power 26 Quotes About Laughter and Its Incredible Power 25 Jack Ma Quotes to Motivate and Enrich Your Life
