A collection of musings to motivate and inspire readers in need of a dose of self-confidence or a quick pick-me-up.

We all want to be the type of person who marches into a meeting brimming with self-confidence, who meets new people without thinking, “What do they think about me?”, who calmly looks over a room when making a killer speech and isn’t intimidated by all those eyes staring back. But all too often, crippling self-doubt creeps in. In this collection of self-esteem boosting mamixs and pithy, pocket-sized pep talks from successful people in a multitude of fields, this book says “you can do it!” 

“I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger.” —Serena Williams 

“The scariest moment is always just before you start.” —Stephen King

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” —Helen Keller, 

“Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you’ll have a marvelous time!” —Julia Child
