But when you say, "I am beautiful," not only does beauty, youth, and freshness start coming your way, but on the inside your spirit also comes alive. Your self-image begins to improve, and you'll start carrying yourself like you're someone special. You won't drag through the day feeling less than or inferior. You'll have that spring in your step, that "You go, girl!" attitude. Beauty is not in how thin or tall you are, how perfect you look. Beauty is in being who God made you to be with confidence. If you're a size 4, great. If you're a size 24, great. Take what you have and make the most of it. ~ Joel Osteen
Self Image quotes by Joel Osteen
Our emotional valence – positive or negative experiences – affects not only how we narrate childhood events, but also which memories we retain. The interplay between a person encountering environment experiences meshed with self-editing of various aspects of their complex memory system results in a person becoming more than a collection of memories: a person creates their personalized version of a self. A person integrates many experiences into creating their being. Personal encounters with other people as well as moments of personal solitude contemplating ideas and personal existence congeal to form the depiction of a self. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Image quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Our evolving self-concept guides our daily actions, organizes our information processing, and fosters a stout mental predisposition that assists our ego maintain a fibrous self-image. Self-concept is not restricted to a bare assessment of what role we presently fulfill in society. Our self-image is an endogenous alloy that includes an agglomeration of past selves and possible future selves. Future selves or 'possible selves' represent a person's ideas of what they might become, what they aspire to become, and what they are afraid of becoming. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Image quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
We are always harshest upon those foibles we see in others that we know bedevil our own natures - the ones that most gravely misbecome our self image - for blame is always easier than shame. ~ Maria Popova
Self Image quotes by Maria Popova
Those who don't give up physical books for a Kindle love their self-image as a book lover more than they love books. ~ Malav Karkar
Self Image quotes by Malav Karkar
[H]is mouth pursed, but pursed in American, more generous than English pursing, ready for broader vowels and less mincing sounds. His body was long and lean and trim; he had American hips, ready for a neat belt and the faraway ghost of a gunbelt. ~ A.S. Byatt
Self Image quotes by A.S. Byatt
To really 'live,' that is to find life reasonably satisfying, you must have an adequate and realistic self-image that you can life with. You must find yourself acceptable to 'you.' ~ Maxwell Maltz
Self Image quotes by Maxwell Maltz
Why yes, I can,' said Midas Mulligan, when he was asked whether he could name a person more evil than the man with a heart closed to pity. 'The man who uses another's pity for him as a weapon. ~ Ayn Rand
Self Image quotes by Ayn Rand
Fat-bashing in all its varied forms–criticism, exclusion, shaming, fat talk, self-deprecation, jokes, gossip, bullying–is one of the last acceptable forms of prejudice. From a very young age, before they can walk away or defend themselves, women are taught that they are how they look, not what they do or what they know. (1) ~ Robyn Silverman
Self Image quotes by Robyn Silverman
You can develop a positive self image with positive thoughts. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Self Image quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
No one outside yourself can give you happiness or self-confidence. ~ Nicky Verd
Self Image quotes by Nicky Verd
How we think and feel about ourselves has an enormous impact on our ability to perform. A healthy self-image can tip the scales in our favor and equip us with the certitude and grace we need to push forward in victory, even through the most difficult situations. It gives us the mindset we need to prevail. ~ Kristen Clark
Self Image quotes by Kristen Clark
Man's natural and inevitable urge to deny mortality and achieve a heroic self-image are the root causes of human evil. ~ Ernest Becker
Self Image quotes by Ernest Becker
Dark circles under my eyes sink deeper and deeper into my skull, in contrast to my pale skin there is an undeniable resemblance to a fresh corpse. ~ Dee Remy
Self Image quotes by Dee Remy
God uses people not only to nurture us, but also to open our eyes to sins, selfishness, and denial in us. Love also means saying, "I hold this against you," as Jesus did when he confronted the churches (Rev. 2:4, 14, 20). Being confronted on character issues isn't pleasant. It hurts our self-image. It humbles us. But it doesn't harm us. Loving confrontations protect us from our blindness and self-destructiveness. ~ Henry Cloud
Self Image quotes by Henry Cloud
Our self image is based on people comments, so most images are false. You aren't this and this, they made you, because they wanted! ~ Deyth Banger
Self Image quotes by Deyth Banger
From the dream to mainstream...Do whatever is necessary to make your dream a reality. To get others to invest in you and your dreams you must be willing to invest in yourself. ~ Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
Self Image quotes by Bobby F. Kimbrough Jr.
I had enormous self-image problems and very low self-esteem, which I hid behind obsessive writing and performing. It's exactly what I do now, except I enjoy it now. I'm not driven like I was in my twenties. I was driven to get through life very quickly. ~ David Bowie
Self Image quotes by David Bowie
once a person's self-image is altered, all sorts of subtle advantages become available to someone who wants to exploit that new image. ~ Robert B. Cialdini
Self Image quotes by Robert B. Cialdini
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, wishes. Who looks inside, finds infinite wisdom. ~ Sereda Aleta Dailey
Self Image quotes by Sereda Aleta Dailey
Appearing nude on film was not easy when I was twenty-six in Body Heat; it was even harder when I was forty-six in The Graduate, on the stage, which is more up close and personal than film. After my middle-age nude scene, though, I unexpectedly got letters from women saying, "I have not undressed in front of my husband in ten years and I'm going to tonight." Or, "I have not looked in the mirror at my body and you gave me permission."
These affirmations from other women were especially touching to me because when I began The Graduate I'd just come through a period when I felt a great loss of confidence, when my rheumatoid arthritis hit me hard and I literally couldn't walk or do any of the things that I was so used to doing. It used to be that if I said to my body, "Leap across the room now," it would leap instantly. I don't know how I did it, but I did it. I hadn't realized how much my confidence was based on my physicality. On my ability to make my body do whatever I wanted it to do.
I was so consumed, not just by thinking about what I could and couldn't do, but also by handling the pain, the continual, chronic pain. I didn't realize how pain colored my whole world and how depressive it was. Before I was finally able to control my RA with proper medications, I truly had thought that my attractiveness and my ability to be attractive to men was gone, was lost. So for me to come back and do The Graduate was an affirmation to myself. I had my body back. I was back. ~ Kathleen Turner
Self Image quotes by Kathleen Turner
Never rate yourself too low; you will be whoever you think you can be provided you are willing to pay the price! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Self Image quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
Symbols are specific acts or figures, while myths develop and elaborate these symbols into a story which contains characters and several episodes. The myth is thus more inclusive. But both symbol and myth have the same function psychologically; they are man's way of expressing the quintessence of his experience - his way of seeing his life, his self-image and his relations to the world of his fellow men and of nature - in a total figure which at the same moment carries the vital meaning of this experience. ~ Rollo May
Self Image quotes by Rollo May
The next time you find yourself ashamed of your reflection, put on your new lens. Not the lens of the world, but the lens of the Word. The only lens that will reveal your true reflection. ~ Tessa Emily Hall
Self Image quotes by Tessa Emily Hall
Once you see a child's self-image begin to improve, you will see significant gains in achievement areas, but even more important, you will see a child who is beginning to enjoy life more. ~ Wayne Dyer
Self Image quotes by Wayne Dyer
A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success. ~ Joyce Brothers
Self Image quotes by Joyce Brothers
The truth comes when you can see that your self-image is just a convenient reference point and nothing more, and that you as you had imagined yourself do not exist. ~ Brad Warner
Self Image quotes by Brad Warner
He would struggle with finding any value in himself and would despair at how he perceived the rest of humanity to be acting. ~ Rob Jovanovic
Self Image quotes by Rob Jovanovic
It is through our imperfections that our true beauty shines through. ~ Cheryl L. Ilov
Self Image quotes by Cheryl L. Ilov
The death of our self-worth begins at its appraisal, for such an action erroneously implies that our worth can be quantified. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Self Image quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
PAYING ATTENTION TO GOD We bless GOD, oh yes - we bless him now, we bless him always! PSALM 115:18, THE MESSAGE Prayer is the most thoroughly present act we have as humans, and the most energetic: it sockets the immediate past into the immediate future and makes a flexible, living joint of them. The Amen gathers what has just happened into the Maranatha of the about to happen and produces a Benediction. We pay attention to God and lead others to pay attention to God. It hardly matters that so many people would rather pay attention to their standards of living, or their self-image, or their zeal to make a mark in the world. The reality is God: worship or flee. THE CONTEMPLATIVE PASTOR ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Self Image quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
In the 1950s kids lost their innocence.
They were liberated from their parents by well-paying jobs, cars, and lyrics in music that gave rise to a new term ---the generation gap.

In the 1960s, kids lost their authority.
It was a decade of protest---church, state, and parents were all called into question and found wanting. Their authority was rejected, yet nothing ever replaced it.

In the 1970s, kids lost their love. It was the decade of me-ism dominated by hyphenated words beginning with self.
Self-image, Self-esteem, Self-assertion....It made for a lonely world. Kids learned everything there was to know about sex and forgot everything there was to know about love, and no one had the nerve to tell them there was a difference.

In the 1980s, kids lost their hope.
Stripped of innocence, authority and love and plagued by the horror of a nuclear nightmare, large and growing numbers of this generation stopped believing in the future.

In the 1990s kids lost their power to reason. Less and less were they taught the very basics of language, truth, and logic and they grew up with the irrationality of a postmodern world.

In the new millennium, kids woke up and found out that somewhere in the midst of all this change, they had lost their imagination. Violence and perversion entertained them till none could talk of killing innocents since none was innocent anymore. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Self Image quotes by Ravi Zacharias
Books contain nothing, or almost nothing, that's important: everything is in the mind of the person reading them.'

If you were trying to find an idiotic remark, that one took the cake! ~ Jacques Poulin
Self Image quotes by Jacques Poulin
The glorification of self-image is the pox that permeates all facets of America's epoxy culture. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Image quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
When you define yourself based on things you have done, in order to maintain that self-image you must constantly look away from the present moment, as you search for a means of self-understanding through past experiences. ~ Chris Matakas
Self Image quotes by Chris Matakas
Your self-image should not come from the job you do but from how well you do your job. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Self Image quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
Under the weight of my growing self-knowledge, my self-image was sinking fast. ~ Dan Millman
Self Image quotes by Dan Millman
Demagoguery sells. And therefore radio stations will put it on. But that doesn't mean that you can't do something else and also make it sell. You know, when I look at an Ann Coulter or I look at a Rush or I look at a Sean Hannity, I think to myself, 'What kind of self-image do you have?' ~ Al Franken
Self Image quotes by Al Franken
When we are grappling with misery and our heart is in a knot, we may well do better to snap back to a new reality, make choices, refine and consolidate our self-image; and remodel the mould of our identity. ("Camera obscura of the mind" ) ~ Erik Pevernagie
Self Image quotes by Erik Pevernagie
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. ~ John Wooden
Self Image quotes by John Wooden
I covered the scar with concealer every day because I wanted my body to be a flawless figurine, but this blemish would be with me forever. ~ Scarlet Risque
Self Image quotes by Scarlet Risque
Habits start out as off-hand remarks, magazine advertisements, friendly hints, experiments - like flimsy cobwebs with little substance. They grow with practice, layer by layer - thought on thought - fused with imagination and emotion until they become like steel cables - unbreakable. Habits are attitudes which grow from cobwebs into cables that control your everyday life. Self-discipline alone can make or break a habit. Self discipline alone can effect a permanent change in your self image and in you. Self-discipline achieves goals. Self discipline is not 'doing without,' it is 'doing within.' ~ Denis Waitley
Self Image quotes by Denis Waitley
Being preoccupied with our self-image is like being deaf and blind. It's like standing in the middle of a vast field of wildflowers with a black hood over our heads. It's like coming upon a tree of singing birds while wearing earplugs. ~ Pema Chodron
Self Image quotes by Pema Chodron
To make meaningful connections in an authentic way, you have to project the best parts of your true self. In other words, before you expect others to like you, you have to like you--that is the law of self-image. ~ Michelle Tillis Lederman
Self Image quotes by Michelle Tillis Lederman
I would say that just as easy as a person puts on a raincoat and opens their umbrella before stepping out on a rainy day, you too must put on a new concept of yourself and never take it off, nor pull the umbrella of your imagination down until you see the sun shining on the new situation that you have imagined. You must never be convinced that you are being drenched in your old reality, regardless of how much others are absorbed in it. What is true for them is not true for you, because they are not living in your world. They are not living in your raincoat nor are they living beneath the umbrella of consciousness that you have raised. They may be completely soaked in their world while you remain poised and untouched by unfavorable conditions in your own. ~ Curtis Tyrone Jones
Self Image quotes by Curtis Tyrone Jones
When a child sees herself through the prism of her peer group, the resulting self image can be distorted. ~ Alexandra Robbins
Self Image quotes by Alexandra Robbins
If I say, "I am weak," I ensure that I stay weak. If I say, "I cannot," "I'm not the type to," "I am not able," then I set up a self-fulfilling prophecy. As I think of myself, so I shall be. ~ Vironika Tugaleva
Self Image quotes by Vironika Tugaleva
I may say that (Being) love, in a profound but testable sense, creates the partner. it gives him a self-image, it gives him self-acceptance, a feeling of love-worthiness, all of which permit him to grow. It is a real question whether the full development of the human being is possible without it. ~ Abraham Maslow
Self Image quotes by Abraham Maslow
Get in the habit of speaking positive, faith-filled words over your life, because a healthy self-image is one of the greatest assets you can have. It will not only cause you to rise higher, but it will inspire others around you to live at their best. ~ Victoria Osteen
Self Image quotes by Victoria Osteen
To be a Christian is to be a theologian - a student of God and his will. The church is where believers should be nurtured in the practice of correct theology. The contemporary disdain for theological content and emphasis on self-image and emotions were not shared by the apostolic church. ~ R.C. Sproul
Self Image quotes by R.C. Sproul
The ego is the product of imagination. It is how a human being sees himself or herself. It makes humans demand special status in nature and culture. Nature does not care for this self-image of human beings. Culture, which is a man-made creation, attempts to accommodate it. ~ Devdutt Pattanaik
Self Image quotes by Devdutt Pattanaik
Your self-image tells about what you think about yourself and how you appear to yourself in your own conscience. Self-image is the picture of yourself carried in your own mind. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Self Image quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
As a society, we need to get lots more flexible about what constitutes beauty. It isn't a particular hair color or a particular body type; it's the woman who grew the hair and lives in the body. Keeping this in mind can only make things better. (341) ~ Victoria Moran
Self Image quotes by Victoria Moran
Humankind's greatest gift is that we are indeterminate beings. Unlike the tough and leathery seed of an acorn, which will grow into a magnificent oak tree, none of us has a predetermined final configuration of our ultimate essence. Our mental temperament is pliable. We make conscious and subconscious choices that govern who we become. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Self Image quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Self-image is the basis for how you experience--and are experienced by--the outside world. ~ Michelle Tillis Lederman
Self Image quotes by Michelle Tillis Lederman
When you watch Olympic athletes in competition, does your self-esteem plummet? Of course not. On the contrary, you feel wonder and admiration; you're inspired that such exceptional individuals exist. So why can't we feels the same way about beauty? ~ Ted Chiang
Self Image quotes by Ted Chiang
Wisteria hangs over the eaves like clumps of ghostly grapes. Euphorbia's pale blooms billow like sea froth. Blood grass twists upward, knifing the air, while underground its roots go berserk, goosing everything in their path. A magnolia, impatient with vulvic flesh, erupts in front of the living room window. The recovering terrorist
holding a watering can filled with equal parts fish fertilizer and water, paisley gloves right up over her freckled forearms, a straw hat with its big brim shading her eyes, old tennis shoes speckled with dew
moves through her front garden. Her face, she tells herself, like a Zen koan. The look of one lip smiling. ~ Zsuzsi Gartner
Self Image quotes by Zsuzsi Gartner
People will rather pass by the weak, the lame, the beggars, the orphans, the tormented, the widows and take their large offerings to church, to the man of God who already has a mansion and jets , what a shallow mindedness. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Self Image quotes by Sunday Adelaja
A mother's death also means the loss of the consistent, supportive family system that once supplied her with a secure home base, she then has to develop her self-confidence and self-esteem through alternate means. Without a mother or mother-figure to guide her, a daughter also has to piece together a female self-image of her own. ~ Hope Edelman
Self Image quotes by Hope Edelman
Failing adds to your experience, Success adds to your self-image. In life everything has its bright sides, you just need to perceive life positively, and focus on what you have instead of complaining on what you can't have ~ Jeekeshen Chinnappen
Self Image quotes by Jeekeshen Chinnappen
Self-image, the concept we have of ourselves, must begin not by looking in the mirror but by looking into the face of God. ~ Sam Storms
Self Image quotes by Sam Storms
Whatever crimes this man had committed, they weren't as egregious as his inflated self-image. ~ Katherine McIntyre
Self Image quotes by Katherine McIntyre
Nobody's better than you and you're no better than anybody. ~ Mary Mihalic
Self Image quotes by Mary Mihalic
Get Off The Scale!

You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.

Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.

It's true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That's it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don't give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful! ~ Steve Maraboli
Self Image quotes by Steve Maraboli
The final bridge to cross is to let go of the mind-created 'spiritual' self. Burn that bridge behind you. Stay empty of self-image and cease looking back. Remain in the neutrality of being. That's it! ~ Mooji
Self Image quotes by Mooji
Nobody's story is real unless we share it with someone who matters. ~ Jeffrey Deitz
Self Image quotes by Jeffrey Deitz
Our self-image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the othe ~ Maxwell Maltz
Self Image quotes by Maxwell Maltz
A person's self-concept is the core of his personality. ~ Joyce Brothers
Self Image quotes by Joyce Brothers
There's a certain freshness and innocence in people who have always lived in one place and can count on witnesses to their passage through the world. In contrast, those of us who have moved on many times develop tough skin out of necessity. Since we lack roots or corroboration of who we are, we must put our trust in memory to give continuity to our lives...but memory is always cloudy, we can't trust it. ~ Isabel Allende
Self Image quotes by Isabel Allende
Each person has a self-image that, to some degree, does not match reality. A significant difference between self-image and reality can be harmful. The more self-aware you are, the less likely you are to be vulnerable to your illusions. The more aware you are, the more you can do with your life. ~ Robert H. Bolton
Self Image quotes by Robert H. Bolton
My greatest fear when we were doing "Body Heat" was that I wouldn't be sexy. I didn't have a self-image of myself as this alluring, powerful, sexual female. ~ Kathleen Turner
Self Image quotes by Kathleen Turner
One of the greatest things you have in life is that no one has the authority to tell you what you want to be. You're the one who'll decide what you want to be. Respect yourself and respect the integrity of others as well. The greatest thing you have is your self image, a positive opinion of yourself. You must never let anyone take it from you. ~ Jaime Escalante
Self Image quotes by Jaime Escalante
Our attitudes, our perspectives, our ways of relating to others, our methods of responding to the circumstances of the world around us, our self-image, even our understanding of God have all been shaped by the destructive values and dehumanizing structures of the world's brokenness. ~ M. Robert Mulholland Jr.
Self Image quotes by M. Robert Mulholland Jr.
Telling yourself you like the way you look is easy. Believing it is an entirely different kettle of whales. ~ Andrew Biss
Self Image quotes by Andrew Biss
Coveting, pouting, or tearing others down does not elevate your standing, nor does demeaning someone else improve your self-image. ~ Jeffrey R. Holland
Self Image quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
I testify that no one of us is less treasured or cherished of God than another. I testify that He loves each of us - insecurities, anxieties, self-image, and all. He doesn't measure our talents or our looks; He doesn't measure our professions or our possessions. He cheers on every runner, calling out that the race is against sin, not against each other. ~ Jeffrey R. Holland
Self Image quotes by Jeffrey R. Holland
Hair brings one's self-image into focus; it is vanity's proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices ~ Shana Alexander
Self Image quotes by Shana Alexander
Singapore's tragedy is not the absence of idealism, but that it systematically rewards the individualistic majority and discourages the socially-conscious minority. This is at odds with Singapore's self-image as a communitarian Asian society, an image conjured up largely to justify the protection of family values and paternalistic government. In truth, the overwhelming ethos is to mind your own business. Singapore's embrace of the market forces - based on the PAP's clear appreciation of the fact that people's desire to live in comfort is the most powerful force for civilisation's progress - has provided rich incentives for Singaporeans to work hard, and create wealth. But its exercise of illiberal controls to maintain ownership of the public sphere adds up to a heavy tax on thinking socially and acting politically. The public has been privatised. ~ Cherian George
Self Image quotes by Cherian George
I used to be self conscious about my height, but then I thought, fuck that, I'm Harry Potter. ~ Daniel Radcliffe
Self Image quotes by Daniel Radcliffe
The gaping hole in her heart is amplified when she catches a glimpse of the strands of silver hair framing her once young face in the mirror. ~ Raquel Cepeda
Self Image quotes by Raquel Cepeda
This is hard to say to people without offending them, but it's a universal truth even for the most high-performing people on the planet, so here it is: your self-image could be a lot better, and you ought to be a lot more congruent in how you engage the world. How we think of ourselves (our self-image) and how we behave in accordance with that image in the real world is the stuff of congruence. It's one of the most profoundly powerful drives we have as humans - to live in consistent alignment with who we think we are, how we want others to perceive us, and who we want to become. When we don't behave as the person we believe ourselves to be, we feel "off," "out of sorts," and, often, frustrated or angry. If we think we're lions, for example, but we act as mice, we secretly loath our- selves. From THE CHARGE ~ Brendon Burchard
Self Image quotes by Brendon Burchard
Sex is a metaphor for everything else and everything is a metaphor for sex as well. Because sex is a coming together of two weather patterns, two separate countries, two entities in a conscious state of potentially blissful crisis. Or chaos, or harmony. You're not quite sure what's going to happen, but it is the most catastrophic, exciting, and weakening thing that can happen to us. If we are personally involved in it, every fiber of our being is made self-conscious, or is encourages to unify on some level with others. We are delicate. We bring our damage to sexuality, we bring our hopes, we bring our self-image, we bring our world-image, we bring what we believe we are/what we believe we aren't, our blind spots, our prejudices, our sadness. Everything comes out. A lot of people are left wanting, and confusing, and having the idea that their body is like an unloved apartment building; it's up for grabs and it's of absolutely no worth. If we feel that way about ourselves and if we feel that way about others, then of course, sex is nothing more than a lot of rubbing and some kind of release. But the more we are, the more we can feel, the more we can empathize, the more human we are. ~ Melinda Gebbie
Self Image quotes by Melinda Gebbie
It all comes back. Perhaps it is difficult to see the value in having one's self back in that kind of mood, but I do see it; I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were. I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be; one of them, a seventeen-year-old, presents little threat, although it would be of some interest to me to know again what it feels like to sit on a river levee drinking vodka-and-orange-juice and listening to Les Paul and Mary Ford and their echoes sing "How High the Moon" on the car radio. (You see I still have the scenes, but I no longer perceive myself among those present, no longer could ever improvise the dialogue.) The other one, a twenty-three-year-old, bothers me more. She was always a good deal of trouble, and I suspect she will reappear when I least want to see her, skirts too long, shy to the point of aggravation, always the injured party, full of recriminations and little hurts and stories I do not want to hear again, at once saddening me and angering me with her vulnerability an ~ Joan Didion
Self Image quotes by Joan Didion
You only do what is in accordance with your self-image. If you consider yourself shy, you won't be able to start a conversation with a stranger. If you consider yourself a slow learner, you won't think of applying to the top college. ~ Michal Stawicki
Self Image quotes by Michal Stawicki
A diminished self-image will cause you to slouch, to avoid meeting others, to avoid looking others in the eye, to be unassertive, and to be indecisive. ~ Chris Prentiss
Self Image quotes by Chris Prentiss
Without the gospel, our self-image is based on living up to some standards - either our own or someone else's imposed on us. If we live up to those standards, we will be confident but not humble; if we don't live up to them, we will be humble but not confident. Only in the gospel can we be both enormously bold and utterly sensitive and humble, for we are simul justus et peccator, both perfect and sinner! ~ Timothy Keller
Self Image quotes by Timothy Keller
Accept yourself in a way you are created ~ Sunday Adelaja
Self Image quotes by Sunday Adelaja
One's self-image not only encompasses the person you are but also the person you wanted to be, could be or once had been. ~ Karl Ove Knausgaard
Self Image quotes by Karl Ove Knausgaard
You will never be perfect, but you will always be enough. ~ Trevor Carss
Self Image quotes by Trevor Carss
Energy doesn't lie, what you attract is who you are. ~ Lebo Grand
Self Image quotes by Lebo Grand
I could never imagine loving myself
I could never imagine a person
behind the image I saw
when I looked into the mirror.
Who is this person? I would wonder
Who is she?
Does she have a name? ~ Mi-ran Isaacs
Self Image quotes by Mi-ran Isaacs
God is a good God, and He gives good things to his children. No matter who has denigrated you or how much pain you've experienced in life, no matter how many setbacks you have suffered, you cannot allow yourself to accept that as the way life is supposed to be. No, God has better things in store for you. You must reprogram your mind with God's word; change that negative, defeated self-image, and start seeing yourself as winning, coming out on top. Start seeing that marriage as restored. See your business as flourishing. See your children as enjoying the good things of God. You must see it through your eyes of faith, and then it will begin to happen. ~ Joel Osteen
Self Image quotes by Joel Osteen
She told me I should be proud of my healthy shape and healthy body and love it and treasure it because it was mine. No one, she said, could tell me what to think of my body. If I let another person's opinion matter I was giving him or her control over me, and I had complete control over my own self-image. ~ Penny Reid
Self Image quotes by Penny Reid
The power of a positive self-image plays a vital role in experiencing perfect health. ~ Deepak Chopra
Self Image quotes by Deepak Chopra
Our society's strong emphasis on dieting and self-image can sometimes lead to eating disorders. We know that more than 5 million Americans suffer from eating disorders, most of them young women. ~ Tipper Gore
Self Image quotes by Tipper Gore
Hold still we're going to do your portrait, so that you can begin looking like it right away. ~ Helene Cixous
Self Image quotes by Helene Cixous
Sometimes we must undergo hardships, breakups, and narcissistic wounds, which shatter the flattering image that we had of ourselves, in order to discover two truths: that we are not who we thought we were; and that the loss of a cherished pleasure is not necessarily the loss of true happiness and well-being. (109) ~ Jean-Yves Leloup
Self Image quotes by Jean-Yves Leloup
