70 Quotes on Self-Love and Confidence for a Happier You

Let these most inspirational quotes on self-love and confidence be the perfect tool to keep you motivated, positive, and peaceful on your self love journey.

Self love and confidence often seem impossible to achieve in a world that just keeps telling us who to be. That journey to full acceptance of us can be difficult, filled with doubts and an unaware insecurity.

However, each step that we take towards being our authentic selves leads us one step closer to a life of greater happiness and fulfilment.

I recall moments I questioned my value, wondering if I was “enough”. I needed a multitude of reminders, loving confirmations and voices of those who traveled this journey ahead of me to discover I was always complete.

Self-love does not mean we don’t want to be better — it means that we appreciate and care for ourselves in our current state, imperfections and all.

Here are 70 inspirational self-love and confidence quotes that I want to share with you today. Whether you’re at the beginning of your self-love journey or looking for a boost, I hope these quotes resonate with you and remind you of your incredible value.
