The saddest thing for a girl to do is to dumb herself down for a guy.
I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.
Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.
Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy and gratitude into our lives.
Your duty is to be, and not to be this or that. I Am That I Am sums up the whole truth; the method is summarized in Be Still.
I leave you free to be yourself: to think your thoughts, indulge your tastes, follow your inclinations, behave in ways that you decide are to your liking.
You can be strong and true to yourself without being rude or loud.
What you are to be, you are now becoming.
I guess I’m a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That’s okay though; I have more fun than most people.
Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
Bring your whole self to work. I don’t believe we have a professional self Monday through Friday and a real self the rest of the time. It is all professional and it is all personal.
Be yourself. Embrace your quirks.
The record shows, I took the blows. And did it my way.
Whatever we believe about ourselves and our ability comes true for us.
True success – financial, personal, and professional – lies above all in loving your family, working hard, and living your passion. In telling your story. In authenticity, hustle, and patience. In caring fiercely about the big and the small stuff. In valuing legacy over currency.
I have never listened to authority. It is not in my DNA.
I refuse to accept other people’s ideas of happiness for me. As if there’s a ‘one size fits all’ standard for happiness.
If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.
Give up all ideas about yourself and simply be.
