The Only Confidence Quotes For Women You'll Need! (Printables included)

This list of confidence quotes for women aims to give you the confidence boost you need to get up on your feet and finally make a start on your goals/ dreams.

I’ve also written another post called 10 Effective Inspiring Quotes For Women – GET MOTIVATED NOW! with 10 original quotes to inspire and motivate you.

Confidence building is a task that is extremely hard to do when you have really low confidence because part of the process is even having the courage to believe that you are capable enough to grow.

Lack of self-confidence is something that holds people back every day; it can stop you from getting out there and making new friends, it can lead to serious self-esteem issues and it can stop you from attaining your dreams.

This is why every single person should always be working on it. Even if you think you have a lot of confidence still continue to challenge yourself. Push yourself to pass your boundaries to learn more and BE more.

I believe that every one of you reading this post right now is capable of doing so much. I believe that you have the potential to do anything that you put your heart on, you can even change the world (I’m not trying to be soppy here, I’m being serious).

(Feel free to print out the images below if you would like a physical copy of the quotes in front of you every day <3)

Before you read on, have a look at the Self-confidence & Independence series which covers five main areas of your life (personal, relationships, mental & physical health, finances, and achieving dreams & goals).

1. Start showing up as the main character of your life, not the extra that stands in the crowd.

You are your experiencing your own life so you need to be the main character of it. Stop trying to follow the crowd and do what you think is right. You need to start doing what feels right.

Think of all those success stories of people who started from nothing and then gained great success. When you read or hear about their stories, you will be able to see how each step they took in their life led to their final success.

When looked at individually, these steps may not be as grand or life-changing (like for example working in a computer shop in the summer). But when viewed all together you will be able to see how it all led to the final result (this person realised that they loved dealing with tech, finished school and did an IT internship, and then eventually created their own piece of software that started being used around the world).

Start looking at your life in this way. Don’t think of your barista job in your local coffee shop a failure, look at it as one stepping stone that you have taken to reach your final goal.

2. This is your daily reminder that you are beautiful, strong and confident. You control your actions, no one else does. You do what you want to do because it makes you happy. You take care of yourself, your skin, your hair, your health because it makes you feel good. You educate yourself because you want to be aware of the world. You follow your dreams and passions because you know you deserve it. Self-confidence is to do with YOUR SELF, and once you have achieved it you can do absolutely anything you want.

Having low confidence can sometimes make you feel like you aren’t capable of doing anything but when you have high confidence, you will feel like the options you have in front of you are endless.

When reading confidence quotes for women, it should uplift and motivate you. It should make you realise that as a person and as a woman you have much to offer to the world.

But to start believing that you must first start doing things for yourself. It’s not selfish to want the best for yourself and taking care of your needs first is essential when starting out with building confidence.

3. Failure + trying again = confidence

Next in this list of confidence quotes for women is this highly important equation.

Stop looking at failure as a bad thing. Be proud of the fact that you tried, and learn from what happened.

Then, try again.

Even if your method fails again, learn from it and move on. This process of trial and error will teach you a lot and will make you more knowledgeable. It will also make you more versatile and ready to try new things, in other words you will feel confident to push your boundaries and will be open to growth.

4. Even if you embarrass yourself, life goes on. Don’t dwell on one bad moment and miss out on all the good ones. Look back, laugh, and get over it!

Sometimes you just have to laugh at something and move on. Looking at that past moment humorously will first, help you get over it and second, teach you that you don’t need to be hard on yourself on everything.

If this past moment is more serious and something that you can’t look at humorously, try your hardest to stop thinking about it.

When your mind slips into that memory, tell yourself in your head what you learnt from that incident and find something to distract yourself.

How does this help with confidence? Dwelling on a previous bad memory does not get you anywhere, it hinders you from the good that is happening now. Also dwelling on a bad memory makes you overthink and look at all the negative aspects of that time and yourself; it can cripple your self-confidence.

5. No one else lives in your head but you. Take the time to make it a place you find cosy and inviting, never mind what anyone else thinks.

If you struggle with being comfortable with yourself because you don’t follow the same trends as everyone else does, girrrl just own it.

If you’re a teenager reading this post, let me tell you now that when you grow up and enter your twenties and thirties NOBODY cares. Literally, everyone is focussed on themselves. No one cares if you’re following the trends or not.

In fact, finding your own unique voice is what will help you achieve greatness later. Be confident of your interests and stop caring about what anyone else thinks of it. If it gives you happiness, that is all that matters.

6. You don’t need to be dressed in the fanciest of clothes and most expensive jewellery to look good. Confidence is an outfit that makes you look like you’ve got it all.

You don’t need to be wearing this brand and that brand, and this expensive bag and that expensive pair of heels. It all comes down to the way you carry and present yourself.

What’s the point of dressing in expensive clothes, when you’re all hunched in yourself barely talking to anyone because you’re too shy? Instead, focus on the way you stand and talk. Most of the time, the reason why certain clothes doesn’t look good on you is because of the way you carry yourself.

Confidence quotes for women should make you think both about your inward and outward appearance. Once you achieve satisfaction with the way you are inside, you will shine on the outside.

7. You are who you are because you brought yourself here, so take life by its reins and complete your journey.

This is similar to the quote about making yourself the main character of your life.

Without the main character, there would be no plot, there would be no side characters, there would be nothing. But by making yourself the main character you carve out a space for yourself where there is a plot. Yes, there will be conflicts and problems but there will also be growth, a resolution and finally victory.

So like the main character that you are, hold onto the reins and steer the carriage that is your life. You can be anybody you want to be so long as you work hard enough for it.

8. Each fear you have is a stepping stone to success. Tackle each step, and you’re set for life.

Fear of failure is just one stepping stone to pass. After you have failed a few times, you will realise that its actually not really a bad thing at all. With any other fears that you have, I would suggest for you to tackle it head on.

Every obstacle that you have is an opportunity for growth, and every hurdle that you pass creates a fresh wave of confidence that passes through you.

9. Imagine how much better everything would be if you just tried.

I want to get out your journal, or your phone, or even just close your eyes and think about this.

Think about the way your life is currently and then after this think about how it would be if you were confident, didn’t care about other people’s opinions and did things because it gave you joy.

How much better is that second life? And it can become real too, if you keep trying.

If you like journaling as a method to process your thought, use these confidence quotes for women in this post and reflect on what each one means to you.

10. You’ve got this.

Whenever you’re having a tough day, tell yourself you’ve got this. When something doesn’t go according to plan, tell yourself you’ve got this. When it feels like nothing ever goes right, tell yourself you’ve got this.

Even if no one else believes in you but you know how capable you are, trust me you’ve got it.
