Even though Ralph Waldo Emerson lived in the 19th century, he is becoming increasingly popular in current day due to the originality and perceptiveness of his writings.

He covers a wide range of topic’s but many of his quotes are about the importance of letting go of the past, embracing the future and facing up to your faults and fear and not letting them stop you enjoying life. As such a lot of what he says can be most beneficial if you are looking to build you confidence and enhance your self esteem.

There are many quotes of his I could highlight, but I have selected the following three;

Every artist was first an amateur.

As long as a man stands in his won way, everything seems to be in his way.

Do the thing we fear and death of fear is certain.

If all you every take from Ralph Waldo Emerson is a true appreciation of what he is saying in these three quotes then he will have helped you massively with the way you approach your life.

If after that taster you fancy a bit more of what he had to say, then take a look at this video which has a whole load more of his wisdom.
