Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.
Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It’s about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.
We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. I'm going to figure out what that is.
People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, “Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner.” I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.
Be self aware, rather than a repetitious robot.
Many people dedicate their lives to actualizing a concept of what they should be like, rather than actualizing themselves. This difference between self-actualization and self-image actualization is very important. Most people live only for their image.
When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves.
We are constantly invited to be who we are.
You are what you choose to be today. Not what you've chosen to be before.
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.
You don’t have to change who you are, you have to become more of who you are.
Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending, speak without offending.
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.
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.
I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won’t like you at all.
Only do what your heart tells you.
We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.
