Brian Tracy Quotes

Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot outperform our level of self-esteem. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.

Low self-esteem comes from who you assess yourself to be. It's about who you are, and I didn't think I was anything or anybody.

You will never rise above the image you have of yourself in your own mind.

It's impossible to consistently behave in a manner inconsistent with how we see ourselves. We can do very few things in a positive way if we feel negative about ourselves.

Sociologists have a theory of the looking-glass self: You become what the most important person in your life (wife, father, boss, etc.) thinks you are. How would my life change if I truly believed the Bible's astounding words about God's love for me, if I looked in the mirror and saw what God sees?

The greatest barrier to achievement and success is not lack of talent or ability but rather the feeling that achievement and success, above a certain level, are outside our self-concept-our image of who we are and what is appropriate to us.

The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself.

We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves.

Remember, in the end, it isn't what you are that holds you back, it's what you think you are not.

Our self-perception determines our behavior. If we think we’re small, limited, inadequate creatures, then we tend to behave that way, and the energy we radiate reflects those thoughts no matter what we do. If we think we’re magnificent creatures with an infinite abundance of love and power to give, then we tend to behave that way. Once again, the energy around us reflects our state of awareness.

It is terrible to destroy a person's picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.

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

We are what we believe we are.

We must not allow other people's limited perceptions to define us.

People see us as no better than we are.

We must reject not only the stereotypes that others have of us but also those that we have of ourselves.

What you look like has nothing to do with what you think about yourself.

What is self-image? Who started talking about one? I rather fancy it was Madison Avenue.

Don't be too concerned about what others think of you. It's what you think about yourself that matters!

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.

The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.

If what we think of ourselves were true, the planet would overflow with geniuses.

Men like to think well of themselves, and poets help them do it.

If you dont respect me what must you think of yourself?

What is the image you have of yourself?
