Self-worth comes from one thing – thinking that you are worthy.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It’s yours.
Love yourself, accept yourself, forgive yourself, and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have.
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on.
Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.
I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.
You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.
Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.
Believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic.
Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self acceptance.
Worthiness doesn’t have prerequisites.
Let go of who you think you should be in order to be who you are. Be imperfect and have compassion for yourself. Connection is the result of authenticity.
When you absolutely believe in yourself and your ability to succeed, nothing will stop you.
