Myles Munroe Quotes

It doesn't mean a thing when others tell you you're good. You have to feel it yourself.

As for worrying about what other people might think - forget it. They aren't concerned about yours. They're too busy worrying about what you and other people think of theirs.

I've been in situations where I've said to young people: "You're so personable, you're so articulate, you're clearly so bright, you're so good-looking - feel better about yourself!" But if at the core if you don't, all those words mean nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Self-esteem does not come from surrounding yourself with people and things that seem to increase your value. Real self-esteem is an integration of an inner-value with things in the world around you.

The clothes are not making me... If I like it, that's all that matters...It's not about the clothes. It's about how I am as a person and how confident I am.

It's very hard to be OK with who you are and not care what other people think of you. Believe me, I know.

Stop worrying what other people think.

Focus on your opinion of yourself and not the opinion others have of you.

Why do people need awards? Don't you know your value and your worth? I don't need anybody's award or acceptance.

To really be known and really let someone else be known is very vulnerable. It's a weird thing. Just being an actress in Hollywood is very vulnerable. To let all these other people decide whether you're really of value or not, you have to really be strong to know that, of course, they have a right to their opinion, but their opinion doesn't matter as far as yourself.

I don't find myself that interesting as a human being, so I don't really think that much of what I say or do warrants being recorded.

What Do You Care What Other People Think?

Individuals with a good self esteem can accept or reject the opinions of others, but never depend on them for their sense of worthiness.

Self-esteem should have nothing to do with what you look like – if you exude genuine confidence, people will be swept into it. You have to be able to hold yourself.

They're just opinions, what people say about you. None of that stuff's true. The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself.

If I'm not comfortable in my own skin or confident in who I am, then I'm going to pick parts based on how people are going to view them, not based on what I find challenging or entertaining.

Your value should not be determined by how somebody else has treated you.
