and doubts that hold most people back. The more you like and value yourself, the 
more willing you are to take risks and to endure the inevitable setbacks, obstacles 
and temporary failures that will occur. The more you like yourself, the less 
concerned you are with the approval or disapproval of other people. You go your 
own way. 
The very fastest way to build your self-esteem and self-confidence, and to 
neutralize the fears that may be holding you back, is to repeat continually the 
words 
“I like myself!”
Whenever you feel doubtful or uneasy, begin repeating 
these words to yourself, 
“I like myself! I like myself! I like myself!” 
The most important

you can develop is 
the habit of 
deliberately building your own self-esteem and self-confidence on a daily basis.
The more you feed your mind with positive words, pictures, and thoughts, the 
more positive, confident, optimistic and unafraid you become. The more you like 
yourself, the better you do at anything you attempt. The more you like yourself, the 
less you fear failure and rejection. The more you like yourself, the less you worry 
about short-term setbacks and obstacles. The more you like yourself, the greater 
courage and resilience you will have to face the inevitable ups and downs of life. 
And the more you like yourself, the more it is that you will persist until you 
succeed. Self-esteem is everything.
