Here are our favorite know your worth quotes and how to embrace yours
Our first three come from an American spiritual teacher, an American political figure and an American essayist
“Your problem is you are too busy holding onto your unworthiness.” -Ram Dass
“Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.” -Eleanor Roosevelt
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
You’re worthy.
The odds of you being created were tiny; in fact, it was something like one in 400 trillion. So your mere existence is against all odds.
You may never feel good enough, smart enough, or prepared for life’s challenges. One secret of the most successful people is that they’ve felt that same way.
The sooner you can reject those feelings of unworthiness, the sooner you’ll begin getting what you want.
Our next three come from a Chinese philosopher, and two American writers
“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.” – Lao Tzu
“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” – Mark Twain
“If you want to improve your self-worth, stop giving other people the calculator.” -Tim Fargo
Believe in yourself.
Trust you have everything inside you to succeed. Stop worrying about what others think and go about your work, because the world needs it.
Moving onto our next three favorites from an American poet, Russian-American writer and a Canadian writer
“Your crown has been bought and paid for. Put it on your head and wear it.” -Dr. Maya Angelou
“The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.” -Ayn Rand
To double your net worth, double your self-worth. Because you will never exceed the height of your self-image.” -Robin Sharma
Value yourself, get what you’re worth.
Uncertainty and self-doubt serve no one. Recognize your value, set aside your fear of rejection, and ask for what you’re worth.
Our final three quotes come from an American essayist and the Buddha
“The man of genius inspires us with a boundless confidence in our own powers.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. -Buddha
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Help others believe in themselves.
It’s an obligation to pass along what you’ve learned. When done, it enriches not only the receiver but you as well.
