Richard Bach Quotes

Self-esteem must be earned! When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world, you will genuinely impress yourself.

Give your best effort, because you are worth your best effort.

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.

I can be a better me than anyone can.

Invest in yourself now and reap the dividends day after day after month after year.

Because, you see, God - whatever anyone chooses to call God - is one's highest conception of the highest possible. And whoever places his highest conception above his own possibility thinks very little of himself and his life. It's a rare gift, you know, to feel reverence for your own life and to want the best, the greatest, the highest possible, here, now, for your very own. To imagine a heaven and then not to dream of it, but to demand it.

It's never a waste of time or money to invest in yourself, no matter the source. True wealth begins inwards and emits its light outward into everything else, including the people you surround yourself with.

With the realization of ones own potential and self-confidence in ones ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self-confidence is very important.

On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities.

Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.

Positive self-direction is the action plan that all winners in life use to turn imagination into reality, fantasy into fact, and dreams into actual goals.

We lift ourselves by our own thought; we climb upon our vision of ourselves.

The best investment you can make is in yourself.

Dedicate yourself to continuous personal improvement you are your most precious resource

Every achiever that I have ever met says, 'My life turned around when I began to believe in me'.

I believe that a man should be... as big as he feels it in him to be!

In order for me to achieve... I had to regard myself greater than what I was. In other words I had to fake it until I make it.

High self-esteem isn't a luxury. It's a necessity for anyone who has important goals to achieve.

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life.

I give myself permission to be all that I can be, and I deserve the very best in life.

You're worth the investment in yourself and what you feel, you can and want to be

Where does the ego get its energy? The ego feeds off your desire to be something else. You are poor and you want to be rich - the ego is absorbing energy, its life-breath. You are ignorant and you want to become a wise one - the ego is absorbing energy. You are a wretched nobody and you want to become powerful - the ego is absorbing energy.

Care not for want of place; care for thy readiness to fill one. Care not for being unknown, but seek to be worthy of note.

You are much closer than you think to creating a life you adore.
