5 very powerful quotes with observations on their meaning

09/11/2025 by

If you’re looking for some very powerful quotes, dear reader, then there are five great ones here for you today.

And I’ve added my observations on what they all mean.

I hope you find the quotes interesting. Certainly, I did. And I hope my comments also add some value to you today.

Please feel free to pass them on to your friends.

Very Powerful Quotes:

1. Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you learn to do it well. ~Zig Ziglar

Even the greatest exponents of any skill you care to mention started as complete beginners. That’s a fact.

Whether it’s a great football player like Cristiano Ronaldo or a rock guitar god like Jimmy Page, they all had to start somewhere.

In the beginning, they wouldn’t have produced anything special, I am sure, although they may have shown some early talent, I guess.

Anyway, dedication to their craft and a determination to hone their skills are what would have taken them from being ordinary to being quite extraordinary.

To be good, talent helps, of course. However, nothing matches dedication and determination if you are to excel at what you do.

If you want to be the best, you’ve got to get started, and then it’s all about practice, practice, and more practice.

Before you can be the best, you’ve got to pay your dues first.

The very best people will have spent thousands of hours developing their skills long before entering the public’s consciousness.

People who succeed have paid their dues and earned their success. Success comes at a price, and the price has to be paid first.

You don’t get anything for nothing.

What you get out is proportional to what you put in.

That’s the first law of achievement.

2. You’re never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. ~C.S. Lewis

Age is just a number. It doesn’t have to be a constraint on your life.

You’re not on the scrap heap just because you’ve reached 50, 60, 70, or whatever.

You can still learn something new, and there are still places to go and explore.

Perhaps you’re too old to play for Liverpool FC, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get involved in football (or soccer, as many prefer to call it) in some way.

You may never be able to play the guitar like Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn to play a musical instrument.

You may never win an Oscar, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t get involved in amateur dramatics.

And you may never outsell J. K. Rowling, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t write a book and get it published, or at least self-published.

With the Internet, eBooks, and social media, the opportunities for making your name have never been greater.

Today, you can write an eBook, self-publish it, and sell it on Amazon. I’m told that’s precisely how E.L. James of 50 Shades of Grey fame started.

If a book seems like a big step, then how about writing a blog?

WordPress is not difficult. I spent $100 on a one-day course to learn WordPress, and I’ve never looked back. And of course, knowing WordPress, you can set up a blog easily and quickly.

One of the advantages of age is that you’ve learned a lot along the way. So you can share your wisdom and experience.

You can make a real contribution if you want to.

So why not give it a go?

It’s never too late to become the person you really could be.

You’ve got a lot to offer. Please don’t keep it all to yourself. That would be such a waste, and there’s still an opportunity to leave a legacy.

3. With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

Yesterday’s dead and gone. However good or bad it was, it’s now nothing more than a footnote in history.

So leave the past where it belongs, in the past.

Today is different.

At the beginning of a new day, anything is possible.

Learn from the past, of course, but don’t dwell on your mistakes, your bad luck, or the disappointing outcomes you wish had been different.

You can’t change the past, so focus on what can be achieved today and in the future.

Take strength from the present and think positive thoughts.

A positive mental attitude will carry you further than you think.

Remember: You’ll never have today again, so make sure you enjoy it.

4. Be miserable or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice. ~Wayne Dyer

Now, life may have been mean to you, dear reader, but so what? The reality is that life’s been mean to a lot of people.

However much life’s let you down, you’ll find that no one’s impressed with self-pity. No one wants to go to a pity party.

Self-pity is an unattractive quality, to say the least.

Everyone’s struggling with their own lives, so they don’t need your misery to bring them down even further.

If you want to be appreciated, you must be positive.

It all comes down to the choice you make. It’s better that you add something to other people’s lives rather than take something away.

You can choose to ignore your troubles and be positive, or not.

It’s a fact that your outlook, sunny or otherwise, will have an impact on how other people treat you.

Cheer them up, and they’ll love you.

Make them feel depressed, and they’ll head for the hills the moment they see you.

So what are you going to be? Remember, it’s a choice.

You can be the person who makes people smile when you enter a room.

Alternatively, you can be the person who makes people smile when you leave.

That choice is yours, but I know which one I prefer.

5. The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you and whose presence calls forth your best. ~Epictetus

How often do other people put us down?

They belittle our ambitions and tell us we’re getting above ourselves.

“You’re not good enough for that,” we’ll hear people say.

“You don’t have the brains or the talent” will be another response.

Then you’ll be told, “Oh, people from your background can’t do that; it’s not for you.”

Eventually, if you’re not careful, you start to believe it all.

And then you’re destined for nothing more than a life of mediocrity, just like those people who were putting you down.

And that’s the point.

The real issue is that they resent your ambition because they don’t have any ambition or lack the confidence to try anything new.

They dislike the idea of you going places and getting on in life because they’ve never achieved anything.

Their opinions are presented to you as well-meaning advice, of course. However, they’re jealous.

They deliberately put you down in the hope that you won’t achieve anything more than them.

So, don’t be fooled.

Surround yourself only with people who encourage your ambitions.

People who will offer you guidance to help you get to where you want to go.

Don’t allow negative people to put you off.

If you want to do something, then you have a go at it.

If you stick with it, you can succeed. Other people do, so why not you?

However, even if you don’t, it’s better to try and fail than never to have tried at all. At least you’ll know for sure whether something was right for you or otherwise.

Don’t allow the years to slip by with you wondering what might have been.

The message here is: Believe in yourself and keep company only with positive people. The negative ones will do your head in.

How to build confidence and self-esteem

09/11/2025 by

5 Proven Strategies for Personal Growth:

How to build confidence and self-esteem? Interesting question.

Building confidence and self-esteem is a journey that can transform your life. It’s about recognizing your worth and believing in your abilities.

Boosting self-confidence involves taking small steps each day to improve how you see yourself.

One way to start is by changing negative self-talk. When you catch yourself thinking negatively, try to replace those thoughts with more positive ones. This can help shift your mindset over time.

Taking care of your body can also boost confidence. Eating healthy foods and exercising regularly can make you feel stronger and more energized. This physical boost often leads to feeling better about yourself overall.

Key Takeaways

  • Self-confidence grows through daily positive actions and self-talk
  • Physical self-care supports mental well-being and self-esteem
  • Building a supportive environment helps maintain confidence long-term
Make Money

Understanding Self-Esteem and Confidence

Self-esteem and confidence shape how we view ourselves and interact with the world. These qualities affect our thoughts, behaviors, and overall well-being. They can be improved through practice and self-awareness.

The Psychology of Self-Esteem

Self-esteem refers to a person’s overall sense of self-worth and value. It develops from early childhood experiences and continues to evolve throughout life. People with high self-esteem tend to have a positive self-image and feel worthy of respect and happiness.

Those with low self-esteem may struggle with negative self-talk and doubt their abilities. They often compare themselves unfavorably to others and have trouble accepting compliments.

Self-esteem impacts many areas of life, including:

  • Relationships
  • Career choices
  • Decision-making skills
  • Ability to handle stress

Improving self-esteem involves challenging negative thoughts and practising self-compassion. This process takes time but can lead to significant positive changes.

The Interplay Between Self-Esteem and Confidence

While related, self-esteem and confidence are distinct concepts. Confidence refers to trust in one’s abilities in specific situations. It can vary depending on the task or circumstance.

A person may have high self-esteem but low self-confidence in certain areas. For example, someone might feel good about themselves overall but lack confidence in public speaking.

Building confidence often involves:

  1. Setting small, achievable goals
  2. Practicing new skills regularly
  3. Celebrating successes, no matter how small

As confidence grows, it can positively impact self-esteem. Likewise, higher self-esteem can make it easier to develop confidence in new areas. This creates a positive feedback loop that enhances both qualities over time.

Cultivating a Positive Mindset

A positive mindset helps build confidence and self-esteem. It involves changing how we think about ourselves and the world around us. This change can lead to better mental health and more success in life.

Challenging Negative Self-Talk

Negative self-talk can hurt a person’s confidence. It’s that voice in their head that says mean things. People can learn to spot this talk and fight back.

One way is to write down negative thoughts. Then, look for proof that they’re wrong. Often, there isn’t any. Another trick is to ask, “Would I say this to a friend?” If not, it’s too harsh.

People can also try to change negative thoughts to neutral ones. Instead of “I’m so dumb,” they might think, “I’m still learning.” This is more fair and kind.

Embracing Positive Affirmations

Positive affirmations are good things people say to themselves. They can boost mood and confidence. To use them, pick a few short, true statements.

Examples might be:

  • “I am capable and strong.”
  • “I learn from my mistakes.”
  • “I am worthy of love and respect.“

It helps to say these out loud each day. Writing them down works too. The key is to pick ones that feel true. Over time, the brain starts to believe them more.

Fostering Gratitude

Gratitude means feeling thankful for good things in life. It can make people happier and more confident. There are easy ways to practice it every day.

One idea is to keep a gratitude journal. Each night, write down three good things that happened. They can be big or small. Another way is to tell others “thank you” more often.

People can also try a gratitude walk. During the walk, they notice things to be thankful for. It might be nice weather or a pretty flower. This helps train the brain to see the good in life.

Practical Steps to Build Confidence

Building confidence takes effort and practice. These steps can help boost self-esteem and develop a more positive self-image.

Setting and Achieving Realistic Goals

Start by setting small, achievable goals. This helps create a sense of accomplishment and builds momentum. Break larger goals into smaller tasks to make them less overwhelming.

Make small promises to yourself and follow through. This builds self-trust and confidence in your abilities.

Track progress and celebrate small wins. This reinforces positive behavior and motivates further action.

Gradually increase the difficulty of goals as confidence grows. This allows for continuous growth and development.

Developing Assertiveness and Healthy Boundaries

Practice speaking up for oneself in a calm, clear manner. This helps build assertiveness skills.

Learn to say “no” to requests that don’t align with personal values or goals. This establishes healthy boundaries.

Express thoughts and feelings openly and honestly. This improves communication and self-assurance.

Stand up for personal rights and needs while respecting others. This balance is key to healthy assertiveness.

Cultivating Strengths and Acknowledging Success

Identify personal strengths and talents. Focus on developing these areas to boost confidence.

Take on new challenges that align with strengths. This provides opportunities for growth and success.

Keep a record of accomplishments, big and small. Review this list regularly to remind oneself of past successes.

Practice self-compassion and positive self-talk. This helps reframe negative thoughts and builds a more positive self-image.

Accept errors gracefully and learn from mistakes. This fosters resilience and continued personal growth.

Overcoming Challenges to Self-Esteem

Building self-esteem takes effort and persistence. It’s normal to face setbacks. The key is learning how to handle common roadblocks in healthy ways.

Dealing With Failure and Mistakes

Failure and mistakes can hurt self-esteem. But they’re normal parts of life. The trick is changing how you think about them.

Try to see mistakes as chances to learn. Ask: “What can I do better next time?” This helps you grow.

Be kind to yourself when you mess up. Talk to yourself like you would a good friend. Say things like “It’s okay, everyone makes mistakes.”

Make a list of times you bounced back from failure. Look at it when you’re feeling down. It can remind you that you’re strong.

Managing Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety and depression often go hand-in-hand with low self-esteem. They can make you doubt yourself. But there are ways to cope.

Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or muscle relaxation. These can calm your mind and body.

Challenge negative thoughts. When you think, “I’m not good enough,” ask, “Is that really true?” Look for proof that you are capable.

Exercise can boost mood and confidence. Even a short walk can help. Eating well and getting enough sleep matter too.

If anxiety or depression feel too big to handle alone, talk to a doctor or therapist. They can offer more support.

Stopping the Comparison Trap

Comparing yourself to others can really hurt self-esteem. But it’s a hard habit to break. Here are some tips:

Focus on your own progress. Keep a journal of your achievements, big and small.

Remember that social media often shows only the best parts of people’s lives. It’s not the full picture.

Make a list of your unique strengths and talents. Everyone has different gifts. Yours are just as valuable as anyone else’s.

Practice gratitude. Write down three things you’re thankful for each day. This helps you see the good in your own life.

When you catch yourself comparing, try to shift your focus. Do something you enjoy or help someone else instead.

Self-Care for Self-Esteem

Taking care of yourself is key to building confidence and self-esteem. Self-care practices can boost your mood, reduce stress, and help you feel more positive about yourself.

Incorporating Exercise and Physical Activity

Regular exercise is great for self-esteem. It releases endorphins that make you feel good. Even short walks can help. Try to exercise 30 minutes a day most days of the week.

Some good options include:

  • Jogging
  • Swimming
  • Yoga
  • Dancing

Exercise helps people feel stronger and more capable. It can improve body image too. Setting and reaching fitness goals builds confidence that carries over to other areas of life.

Embracing Self-Acceptance Through Self-Care

Self-care rituals promote self-acceptance. Taking time for yourself shows you value your own wellbeing. Simple acts like getting enough sleep or eating healthy foods count as self-care.

Other ideas:

  • Take relaxing baths
  • Read enjoyable books
  • Spend time in nature

Treating yourself with kindness is key. Avoid negative self-talk that hurts self-esteem. Replace harsh self-criticism with gentler, more accepting thoughts.

The Role of Meditation and Mindfulness

Meditation and mindfulness can calm anxious thoughts that harm self-esteem. These practices help people tune into the present moment instead of worrying. Even a few minutes of meditation each day can make a difference.

Guided meditations are great for beginners. They lead you through the process step-by-step. Many free guided meditations are available online or through apps.

Mindfulness also helps people notice and refute negative self-talk. By observing thoughts without judgment, it’s easier to let go of self-criticism.

Nurturing a Supportive Environment

Creating a positive environment and seeking help when needed are key to building confidence. These steps can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself.

Surrounding Yourself With Positive People

Positive people can lift your spirits and boost your self-esteem. Choose friends who support and encourage you. Spend time with those who make you feel good about yourself.

Cut back on time with negative people. Their attitudes can bring you down. Instead, seek out upbeat, caring friends and family members.

Join clubs or groups with shared interests. This can help you meet like-minded folks. Look for activities that make you feel good and confident.

At work, try to connect with positive coworkers. Their outlook can rub off on you. Avoid office gossip and drama when you can.

Seeking Professional Help When Needed

Sometimes, we need extra support to build confidence. It’s okay to ask for help. A therapist or counselor can offer tools to improve self-esteem.

They can teach ways to change negative thinking. This helps you see yourself in a better light. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often used for this.

Support groups can also be helpful. You’ll meet others facing similar issues. Sharing experiences can make you feel less alone.

If you’re not sure where to start, talk to your doctor. They can refer you to mental health services. Many workplaces also offer counseling programs.

Tools for Ongoing Confidence Building

Building confidence is a journey that requires consistent effort and the right tools. These methods can help you develop a stronger sense of self-worth over time.

The Power of Journaling

Journaling is a powerful tool for boosting self-esteem. It allows you to track your thoughts, feelings, and progress. Write down your daily accomplishments, no matter how small.

This practice helps reinforce positive self-belief. Try gratitude journaling to focus on the good things in your life. It can shift your perspective and improve your mood.

Use prompts to explore your emotions and experiences. For example: “What made me proud today?” or “How did I handle a difficult situation?”

Regular journaling can reveal patterns in your thinking and behavior. This awareness is key to personal growth and building lasting confidence.

Understanding the Root Cause of Low Self-Esteem

Identifying the source of low self-esteem is crucial for overcoming it. Common causes include:

  • Childhood experiences
  • Negative self-talk
  • Comparison to others
  • Past failures or rejections

Reflect on your past and present to pinpoint these factors. Ask yourself when you first started doubting your abilities.

Consider seeking help from a therapist or counselor. They can provide tools to work through deep-seated issues.

Challenge negative thoughts when they arise. Replace them with more balanced, realistic views of yourself.

Remember that your worth is not determined by others’ opinions or past events. Focus on your strengths and unique qualities.

Continuous Learning and Personal Development

Engaging in ongoing learning helps build confidence and self-esteem. Set goals for personal growth and pursue new skills or knowledge.

Take online courses, attend workshops, or read books on topics that interest you. Each new skill you acquire boosts your self-belief.

Try activities outside your comfort zone. This expands your abilities and shows you’re capable of more than you thought.

Celebrate your progress along the way. Acknowledge how far you’ve come and the effort you’ve put in.

Surround yourself with supportive people who encourage your growth. Their positivity can reinforce your own self-confidence.

Remember that personal development is a lifelong process. Be patient with yourself as you learn and grow.

Funny birthday wishes for friends (1-25)

Birthdays are just nature’s way of telling you to eat more cake.

May your hair dye and mascara never run! Happy Birthday, old girl!

I’m not obsessed with age but I really can’t believe how old you are.

Age is just a number. In your case a very large number, dear friend.

You’re as old as you are dear to me. And you’re very, very dear to me.

The mirror doesn’t lie, and at your age, you’re lucky it doesn’t laugh either.

Dearest friend, I hope you get 100 birthday cards today! To match your age!

I wouldn’t say you’re old but even Keith Richards looks younger than you.

Happy Birthday, friend! Age is not a big deal. Not to me but then I’m still young.

Best wishes to a dear friend, who can tell me when bread was only five cents a loaf.

Your birthday only comes once a year but the wrinkles it brings will last a lifetime.

When you’re as old as you, there’s always cosmetic surgery. It’ll be a big job though.

Looking at you fills me with hope, that one day I might live to be as old as you are today.

Best wishes to a woman who’s been thirty for more years than either of us can remember.

You’re as old as you feel, and I’m guessing you’re feeling very, very old today. Happy Birthday!

You’re how old? OMG, that’s dead in doggy years! Be glad you’re not a dog. Happy Birthday!

Today, girl, there are things we can all marvel at. Like the length of time that you’ve been on this planet. Truly amazing!

I looked at today’s date and I realized it was your birthday, dearest friend! Then I thought about the year you were born! I’m surprised you’re still mobile and have all your own teeth.

Today, dearest friend, you have made me so grateful for something … that I’m not as old as you!

Before there were maps, people used the stars to guide them. I’d love to hear your stories about the challenges of getting around when you were young. Happy Birthday!

Dearest friend, it’s so special to know someone who was around when the pyramids were being built. Happy Birthday!

As the years’ pass, you might ache a little more. But that’s only because you’re getting old! Happy Birthday.

As your friend, I’m here to remind you of things that are important in life. Like ‘Are you sure you’re putting away enough money for your retirement?’

Dearest friend, remember you should count your blessings, not your years. Well, you don’t really have enough time left to count all your years!

I know you’re downhearted about your age this year but worry not. Your best mate will be there to help you blow out all the candles on your cake, so you can feel like a kid again!

Funny birthday wishes for friends (26-50)

I wouldn’t call you ancient, but it’s a privilege to know someone who was involved with the construction of Stonehenge! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to the woman who has it all! Hearing loss, cataracts, hypertension, back pain and osteoarthritis to name but a few. Still, it’s your birthday, so enjoy!

You’re a woman whose very presence makes others happy. Thanks for reminding us that we’re not as old as you. Happy Birthday!

Sometimes, I feel like you’ve been around forever! That’s probably because you have! Happy Birthday!

As someone who’s been around since before the age of electricity, you’ve kept yourself in good shape. Well, round is still a shape. Happy Birthday!

Everyone thinks you’re really young, dearest friend, but only because you lie about your age. Happy Birthday!

Here’s to the years that you’ve been alive; there’s been so many yet you still survive. Incredible, when you think about it.

On your birthday, people often will tell you that you’re still a young man. Don’t believe them, they’re liars!

Don’t think of yourself as old today. You just have a lot more experience of life than most people.

Your beard is grey and your hairline’s disappeared below the horizon but, on the upside, there’ll be cake today.

May your birthday be filled with joy and a glass or two of wine. Well, if there’s wine I’m sure that’ll be good enough

Best wishes to a woman who thinks she’s still young but isn’t. However your embrace of delusion is impressive.

Facing another birthday, you might fear becoming an old man. Well, you needn’t worry because you’ve been an old man for years now.

Happy Birthday to a man who has witnessed first-hand so many great things! Like the invention of the steam engine.

I was going to make a joke about your age, but that would be a bit cruel, wouldn’t it? Happy Birthday!

They say memory fades as you get older. So, I’m guessing now you probably don’t remember life as it was when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Honey, today on your birthday you don’t need to lift a finger. Don’t worry about the messy house or the dishes. I don’t mind. You can deal with them tomorrow. Happy Birthday!

You never seem to age, so let me remind you how old you really are: you’re old enough to drink, young enough to get pregnant, and just the right age to make something of yourself. So by all means, hurry up before it’s too late! Oh, and many happy returns.

I’d have put candles on your cake but there would have been so many that the carbon footprint would have breached the UNFCCC Paris Climate Accord.

40’s the old age of youth and 50’s the youth of old age. However, I’ve no idea what your age represents.

Happy Birthday to you. I hope you enjoy your day as much as I’ll enjoy eating free cake and ice cream.

I’m not saying you’re old but the songs on your iPhone are too old even for the GOLDEN OLDIES station to play.

Happy Birthday to someone who’s getting more valuable and better with age. Oh wait-a-minute, that’s wine. Happy Birthday to someone who’s just getting old!

I know you’re not thirty, flirty and thriving but hey, you’re still driving! That’s not bad for someone of your age.

Happy Birthday to someone good looking, smart, charismatic, and charming. No hang on a minute, I meant from someone good looking, smart, charismatic, and charming.
