“You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.”
“The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.”
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
“Once you accept the fact that you’re not perfect, then you develop some confidence.”
“Remind yourself that you cannot fail at being yourself.”
“If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.”
“Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.”
“Accept who you are. Unless you’re a serial killer.”
“If you’re like me, practicing authenticity can feel like a daunting choice—there’s risk involved in putting your true self out in the world. But I believe there’s even more risk in hiding yourself and your gifts from the world.”
