Quote of the Day: Bobbe Sommer

by Oct 11, 2017

Having a low opinion of yourself is not ‘modesty.’ It’s self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not ‘egotism.’ It’s a necessary precondition to happiness and success.

-Bobbe Sommer

Recognizing our successes and strengths is equally important to recognizing our areas in need of improvement. Praising yourself for a successful project or even for making it through a challenging day shouldn’t be seen as egotistic. Recognizing the good along boosts one’s confidence and gives ourselves credit where it is due– something the best of us can often forget to do.
