Boosting your Self-esteem

Inspiring self-esteem quotes to boost your self-worth.

The most important relationship you will ever have in your life is the one you have with yourself. This being said, it is one you learned the least about while you were growing up.

You were taught to be kind to your siblings, parents, family, friends, and even strangers but there wasn’t a lot of emphasis on yourself.

You may have been taught from an early age that focusing on yourself was selfish, but that is incorrect; it is self-love.

Your self-esteem is made up of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions of yourself and reflects your own worth.

It also affects your judgment and attitude toward yourself. This, in turn, affects how you see the world.

The best advice I was ever given was from my Grandma. She said, "Take care of your mothers’ daughter." I’d like to give you that gift here now.

Change the inner world and watch the outer world provide. If you want to improve your relationships with those around you, start with your own. You need to boost your self-esteem so you can see the beauty within, then you will be able to see it in others.

There are many different ways you can boost your confidence but I hope these 20 inspiring quotes about self-esteem will help you along your journey to get there:
