Hey everyone! I hope you are having a great day, and are staying safe and well.
Words are one of the most powerful tools we have. They can encourage us, motivate us to do new things, and strengthen us emotionally. They can build us up and let us know that we are not alone. There are so many beautiful words and quotes out there, fit for any occasion.
Lately, things have been kind of stressful. I think when we have a lot of time alone to ourselves, we start to lose our confidence. Our minds love to play tricks on us. But it’s important not to allow it too. So in order to help both myself and everyone reading, I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes on confidence. I hope that these are able to help give you a confidence boost, and I even have a surprise for you at the end of this post š
Without further ado, let’s get to the quotes!
TEN QUOTES FOR WHEN YOU NEED A CONFIDENCE BOOST
NEVER LET ANYONE TREAT YOU LIKE A YELLOW STARBURST. YOU ARE A PINK STARBURST.- UNKNOWN
If you’ve ever eaten Starburst candies, you know exactly what this quote means. As a 2000s kid, I ate a lot of Starbursts. It was a common opinion that the yellow starbursts were the worst- no one wanted to eat those. But the pink starbursts, they were the best of the best. It’s a great analogy, and an easy quote to remember. You are a pink starburst, never forget that.
IāM KIND OF DONE WITH YOU TELLING ME WHAT I CANāT DO.- CAPTAIN MARVEL
There are so many great quotes from this movie, but this one is one of my favorites. It comes at a point in the movie where she’s finally comfortable with her abilities and with what happened in her past. She’s confident in the person she has become, but has had enough with the sleazy actions of the people she once trusted. In the final battle, when the main antagonist is still trying to control her, she utters these words to him, before he meets an epic defeat. This whole movie was a confident boost in itself, but this quote stands out. Sometimes you have to do things your way. And that’s okay. Listen to the ones who truly care about you, but don’t be afraid of doing things differently.
BAD VIBES DONāT GO WITH MY OUTFIT.- UNKNOWN
I absolutely love this quote. You can’t help but smile when you read it, and that’s why it’s such a great quote. Wear you favorite clothes, but shake off those bad vibes. You got this.
SHE REMEMBERED WHO SHE WAS AND THE GAME CHANGED.- LALAH DELIA
It can be hard to block out some of the negativity around us. The world around us has unrealistic expectations, and those voices can drown out the voice we have; the one who knows who we are and what we are capable of. It’s good to remind ourselves of who we are- our quirks, our successes, what we love, and what makes us the beautiful human being that we are. Once we remember that person, and fully embrace it, the game’s gonna change. That’s when we become a force to be reckoned with.
BEAUTY BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU DECIDE TO BE YOURSELF.- COCO CHANEL
This quote is such an important one to remember. Like I said, the world has unrealistic expectations. And one of the main areas you see that in is beauty. Things that you should feel confident about- your body shape, your hair, the freckles and nerdy glasses, and the fact that you are healthy- they scrutinize and pick apart. And what they come back with as true beauty isn’t possible. That can affect our mental health and image of ourself.
Do you want to know what is beautiful? The qualities that you have as a person. Your strength in weathering hardships. Choosing to live a healthy lifestyle. Your curves, curls, freckles, glasses, hair color, all of it. Even Coco Chanel, one of the biggest fashion designers, knows how important it is to be yourself. That there isn’t a one size fits all for beauty. If someone as influential in the fashion and beauty industry can see where true beauty lies, that it isn’t what others may expect of us, then why can’t we. You are beautiful just the way you are.
HEROES ARE MADE BY THE PATH THEY CHOOSE, NOT THE POWERS THEY ARE GRACED WITH.- IRON MAN
Such a powerful quote, and for many reasons. Iron Man is a character who has had to make many choices in his life, and so has the actor who plays him, Robert Downey Jr. Every hero has an origin story, and wether they have powers or not, they all have one thing in common- they had to make a choice. What would have happened if Spiderman decided to let the death of his uncle make him bitter and angry instead of motivating him to do good? Where would Batman have ended up if he allowed his parents death to make him a villain? And where would Iron Man be if he didn’t change for the better, and even later on, let his anxiety get the better of him? They all had to make a choice, and even though we aren’t superheroes, we also have to make choices each and every day. So let’s make choices that build us up and help us grow.
DONāT BE A LADY, BE A LEGEND.- STEVIE NICKS
This is one of my all time favorite quotes. As someone who isn’t the typical idea of what a lady should be, it’s nice to know that you don’t have to be one. That being awkward and authentic is what makes you a legend. I mean, being myself has gotten me this far, right? Allowing ourselves to be messy and awkward gives us room to grow, and helps fuel our creativity. Plus, being a legend sounds like an epic feat.
LIFE ISN’T HOW TO SURVIVE THE STORM; IT’S ABOUT HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.- TAYLOR SWIFT
We can get so caught up in our struggles and worries that we tend to ignore the beauty around us. Sometimes we need to take a breath and just focus on the good. When we learn to see the good around us, we can be more confident. We can “dance in a storm in our best dress, fearless”.
PUT YOUR HAIR UP IN A BUN, DRINK SOME COFFEE, AND HANDLE IT.- UNKNOWN
Sometimes you just have to do it. You have to get yourself out of the bed, get dressed, and start the day. You can do it. You just have to get started.
DREAM SO BIG YOU GET UNCOMFORTABLE TELLING SMALL-MINDED PEOPLE.- UNKNOWN
I just love this one. You can just picture it in your mind, and know how that conversation will end. It makes me feel more confident, knowing that dreaming big and trying new things is a sign of that confidence.
