Florence Scovel Shinn Quotes

The fruit of your life will be what you believe you are.

You will become what you believe. The truth is, I am what I am today because of what I believed about myself yesterday. And I will be tomorrow what I believe about myself right now

Your self-image controls your performance; see yourself as confident and in complete control

Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something,it makes me incapable of doing it. When I believe I can,I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.’"Mahatma Gandhi

The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see in yourself, what sort of image you get of your possible self, yourself at your best.

Your world will follow your idea about yourself.

Life is an inside-out game. The truth is that all our situations and circumstances have their beginnings in our minds. Our idea of who we are creates who we become - the great news is you can change your self-impressions and change your life.

We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.

You will become on the outside, what you believe on the inside.

Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.

We lift ourselves by our thought, we climb upon our vision of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always, everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain - the ideal of health, efficiency, success.

Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself.

If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.

We all put obstacles in our own path toward personal style, myself included. If we understood why we constructed these practical and emotional obstacles, we might move beyond it to healthier, happier perceptions of ourselves and, ideally, a better sense of self-esteem.

Our self image, strongly held, essentially determines what we become.

It's not what other people believe you can do; it's what you believe you can do.

You'll never rise any higher than the way you see yourself.

You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.

If you can attribute your success entirely to your own mental effort, to your own attitude, to some spiritual essence that you have that is better than other people's, then that must feel pretty good.

If you would make the most of yourself, never picture yourself as anything different from what you would actually be, the man or woman you long to become.

Your self-image is the result of all you have given your subconscious mind as a database, so regardless of your background, what you are willing to become is the only reality that counts.

You become what you believe, not what you think or what you want.

If you think you're something long enough, eventually, you just turn into it.
