If you keep hiding your true self, your life becomes like slow death. Once you become free from the lies and the hiding of yourself, then life becomes vibrant again.
More often than not I find myself in situations where I have no idea what I’m doing and I feel no shame in revealing that.
God has invested entirely too much in you for you to be comfortable in anything less than you were created to be.
Your life is a mirror. Life gives us not what we want. Life gives us who we are.
Other people’s opinions of you are none of your business.
Your reality is yours. Stop wasting time looking at someone else’s reality while doing nothing about yours.
It’s vital to remember who you really are. It’s very important. It isn’t a good idea to rely on other people or things to do it for you, you see. They always get it wrong.

Be that self which one truly is.
I belong deeply to myself.
Follow your own star!
To know yourself you need not go to any book, to any priest, to any psychologist. The whole treasure is within yourself.
A lily or a rose never pretends, and its beauty is that it is what it is.

Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am – and what I need – is something I have to find out myself.
What one can be, one must be!
What a man can be, he must be. This need we call self-actualizat ion.
Be independent of the good opinion of other people.
