"It's difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you"
- Russell Brand
About this Quote
This quote by Russell Brand speaks to the idea that our sense of self is an illusion. We are all part of a greater whole, and the beauty of the world is within us. It can be tough to think in ourselves due to the fact that we are so focused on our specific identities. Nevertheless, if we can recognize that we are all linked, we can find strength and comfort in that knowledge. We can take solace in the reality that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. We can discover appeal in the world and within ourselves, and we can utilize that charm to help us believe in ourselves.
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
