Down deep we really know our worth, but we don't have easy access to that knowledge. We need to hear praise coming from outside ourselves or we won't remember that we deserve it.

More quotes by Barbara Sher
Sometimes life isn't about who you were or are, but it's about who you are becoming.
Barbara Sher
And our dreams are who we are.
Barbara Sher
Real Dreams don't require you to abandon your family, quit your job, and move to Tahiti with your paintbrush. They just require that you search your soul for that deep dream you put aside-and go for it. And watch your life light up.
Barbara Sher
Isolation is a dream killer.
Barbara Sher
We are like violins. We can be used as doorstops, or we can make music.
Barbara Sher
You cannot tell your heart what it wants. Your heart will tell you
Barbara Sher
Real obstacles don't take you in circles. They can be overcome. Invented ones are like a maze.
Barbara Sher
DO IT RIGHT, DO IT WRONG, BUT DO IT. Squeeze your eyes shut and jump. Because a wonderful thing happens then. Your focus shifts from yourself, your nervousness, and your imagined inadequacies to the task at hand.
Barbara Sher
Every time you worry that you could get trapped in some kind of work you don't care about, you're dealing with the problem of meaningfulness. I guarantee that in the back of your mind is the thought that somehow you have to make a contribution to something, be acknowledged, do something that matters-or you're just fooling around.
Barbara Sher
But who you are is not a concept in the sky, and it's not a record of you accomplishments either. The most original and creative side of you can re-emerge only when you get time of your own, free time, wide-open time, uncommitted time, time in which to go after dreams or do absolutely nothing if you choose. Without it you can't have a self.
Barbara Sher
The environment that creates winners is almost always made up of winners.
Barbara Sher
We all need to learn a new language for love - a language that speaks not in socks, pancakes, and paychecks, but in shared fascination with physics or poetry, delight in each other's uniqueness, and mutual practical and emotional support.
Barbara Sher
The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act.
Barbara Sher
When you start using senses you've neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes.
Barbara Sher
If you truly feared failure, you'd be very successful.
Barbara Sher
Happy people have two things in common. They know exactly what they want and they feel they're moving toward getting it.
Barbara Sher
Action helps you think and raises your self-esteem. Good luck happens when you're in action. Ask yourself, Does this go toward or away from what I want? There's an animal in us, and it has great instincts. Scan for a desire and follow it. Set a goal, any goal, and start doing everything you can think of to achieve it.
Barbara Sher
It's only too late if you don't start now.
Barbara Sher
Isolation is the dream killer.
Barbara Sher
There is always a realistic way to fulfill any dream. There has never been a dream that you can't have - at least, not the heart of it, not the part you love the most.
