What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.
You can’t make someone feel good about themselves until you feel good about yourself.
But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.
Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already am. That I will never fulfill my obligation to surpass myself unless I first accept myself, and if I accept myself fully in the right way, I will already have surpassed myself.
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.
To acquire true self power you have to feel beneath no one, be immune to criticism and be fearless.
Stop trying to ‘fix’ yourself; you’re NOT broken! You are perfectly imperfect and powerful beyond measure.
If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
The way you give your name to others is a measure of how much you like and respect yourself.
When you're at peace with yourself and love your self, it is virtually impossible to do things to yourself that are destructive.
It is only when you have mastered the art of loving yourself that you can truly love others. It's only when you have opened your own heart that you can touch the hearts of others. When you feel centered and alive, you are in much better position to be a better person.
Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them.
You can not believe in God until you believe in yourself.
Trust yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
I don’t believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.
It’s not your job to like me – it’s mine.
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.
