"Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit." --E.E. Cummings. Well start today from here….Believe in yourself! And I am sure that will benefit you for a lifetime.

Truthfully, I know a few extremely  or genuinely confident.  It's as if they were born that way. The rest of us sometimes lack confidence and we often lack belief in ourselves when we need it most.

Fortunately, self-confidence is a quality you can develop. Anyone can be more confident. Even me! Truth!   But building self-confidence takes time. So if you need a quick shot of it, here are some great motivational quotes that will inspire you to feel more self-assured:

1.            "When you're different, sometimes you don't see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn't." --Jodi Picoult

2.    "As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

3.    "You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with." --Wayne Dyer

4.    "Just pick a goal, a goal you truly want to achieve, and take a clear-eyed look at your weaknesses--not so you'll feel less confident, but so you can determine exactly what you need to work on. Then get to work. Celebrate small successes. Analyze your weaknesses. Keep going. As you gain skill, you'll also gain a feeling of genuine confidence, one that can never be taken away--because you've earned it." (OK, that one is mine, he said, blushing.)

5.    "Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... do your thing, and don't care if they like it." --Tina Fey

6.    "Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it." --Bryce Courtenay

7.    "The way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and get a record of successful experiences behind you." --William Jennings Bryan

8.    "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." --Vincent van Gogh

9.    "Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it." --Bruce Lee

10. "Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful." --Mark Victor Hansen

11. "Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement." --Golda Meir

12. "One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation." --Arthur Ashe

13. "It is confidence in our bodies, minds, and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures." --Oprah Winfrey

14. "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

15. "Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong." --Peter T. McIntyre

16. "The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable." --Paul Tillich

17. "If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." --Thomas Alva Edison

18. "Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love." --Brené Brown

19. "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do." --Dr. Benjamin Spock

20. "Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don't let these feelings stop them." --T. Harv Eker

21. "You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can't have it." --Dr. Robert Anthony

22. "To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." --Oscar Wilde

23. "You yourself, as much as anyone in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection." --Buddha

24. "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." --Helen Keller

25. "Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude." --Thomas Jefferson

26. "Confidence is a habit that can be developed by acting as if you already had the confidence you desire to have." --Brian Tracy

27. "When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around." --Willie Nelson

28. "If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think." --T. Harv Eker

29. "Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy? This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself. The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth. Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out." --Alan Cohen

30. "To anyone that ever told you you're no good ... They're no better." --Hayley Williams

31. "Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." --Christopher Robin

32. "You have no control over other people's taste, so focus on staying true to your own." --Tim Gunn

33. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." --Eleanor Roosevelt

34. "The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it." --J.M. Barrie

35. "It's a dead-end street if you sit around waiting for someone else to tell you you're OK." --Michael Pitt

36. "I think that the power is the principle. The principle of moving forward, as though you have the confidence to move forward, eventually gives you confidence when you look back and see what you've done." --Robert Downey Jr.

37. "If you're presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything." --Katy Perry

38. "I've finally stopped running away from myself. Who else is there better to be?" --Goldie Hawn

39. "Persons of high self-esteem are not driven to make themselves superior to others; they do not seek to prove their value by measuring themselves against a comparative standard. Their joy is being who they are, not in being better than someone else." --Nathaniel Branden

40. "Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many--not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." --Charles Dickens

It depends on the nature of benefit, is it spiritual or materialistic. If you want to gain spiritual benefit you should seek knowledge about Islam and practice it. If you want to gain economic benefit then start savings.

Agree with experts'answer. Planning for tomorrow is a continous process. What we seed today will be reaped tomorrow, It may be education of oneself or children, taking care of family members (parents children and others), Investing in business or assets that may benefit us in the future, leading a life that will not disturb others in any way but help others, taking care of the health of self and other family members(prevention is better than cure), stopping bad habits if any like smoking, drinking, indulging in unwanted things, spending time on good things that will bring happiness to us and will make smile and forget our problems and strengthen our health and spending some time in recreation activites like sports and other things, be social and talking good things to friends and others, last but not least maintaining healthy mental status that may be achieved by spirituality like prayers and helping others.
