How to Become the Smartest Person in the World

A man cannot be taught if he refuses to learn nor can he be forced to use his own mind.

The parts of your story you once hid may be the very pages that set someone else free.

Stupidity is the arrogance of a mind that disavows, and the detriment of life lived without humility.

To live small in fear of the end is to miss the beauty of the beginning.

Sometimes success is the truth we forget, that living through the struggle is a victory of its own.

Arrogance is doing things you think no one else can do any better than you. Humbleness is knowing that whatever you do, you are really no better than anyone else.

Confidence begins with one simple truth you finally choose to believe about yourself.

Without belief in self, the soul drifts, the spirit dims, and the core forgets its power. But with belief… the soul awakens, the spirit rises, and the core remembers the truth of its being

Let your own love be the place you begin and the place you return to heal.

Confidence, it cannot be obtained from the outside. It is within. The way you walk, talk, hold your posture, laugh, or even smile is the light shining from within. It is like a lamp; we fire it up by being who we are and loving ourselves.

I look at myself in the mirror, and I think to myself, I am you. Oh my God, you are GORGEOUS.

Self-confidence is free; you already possess it. It was given to you at birth and is within you… You have only to open the envelope.

I am having the best time of my life. This day is beautiful I treasure this moment. I give thanks to the universe.

I am thankful for the peace I find and grateful for the lessons I learn. I embrace every challenge, every victory, every loss. All of it shapes me. All of it strengthens me. I am thankful… truly thankful.

Today, I have numerous reasons to be joyful. I am alive. I am not one of the many who have passed. I am given another chance to be better than I was yesterday. I have another day to be kind, make new friends, build new relationships, give and receive love and, above all, appreciate life. I am humbled at the very thought of this, for once again I am blessed.

I reserve this moment for myself… I am worthy of it. I deserve it. With this moment, I give thanks for all the other moments that led me here, and with a full heart, I offer this moment to silence.

I know myself better than I did yesterday. I have a clearer understanding of where I was, and who I had been. I am now choosing to be the best I can be by living in pursuit of the greater me.

I know I am more than I think I am, and better than I care to believe. I am stronger when I keep faith, and deeper, greater, and steadier when I muster up the courage to be me.

I am what I can be; I am what I must be, and I will be. Within me is everything and all that is possible. I am the maker and creator of what could be. My destiny is within me. I am blessed and filled with possibilities.
