The question isn't who's going to let me; it's who's going to stop me.

To conquer fear is the best way to gain your self-confidence.

But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confindence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts.

My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.

A disciplined person not only knows how to say 'no' to themselves but 'no' to other people when they need to.

Fear is stupid, so are regrets.

Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie

I had so much fear of blood, and the first thing I did was to cut myself to see what happens. That's the only way to rebuild yourself.

When did we start believing that God wants to send us to safe places to do easy things? That faithfulness is holding the fort? That playing it safe is safe? That there is any greater privilege than sacrifice? That radical is anything but normal? Jesus didn't die to keep us safe. He died to make us dangerous.

What if you quit making excuses, quit playing it safe, and quit hedging your bets?

We need to quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.

If you let fear dictate your decisions, you will live defensively, reactively, cautiously. Living by faith is playing offense with your life.
