#loving-yourself

"If you don't love yourself, you won't be happy with yourself. If you can't love yourself, you can't love anyone else. You can't give the love you do not have. You can't make anyone love you without loving yourself first."

"I want you to embark on the truth of loving yourself because when you love yourself and when you appreciate yourself, you will make healthy changes in your life for healthy reasons."

"There are some places in life where you can only go alone. Embrace the beauty of your solo journey."

"Believe God for something today. Prayer is the key to connecting with God and allowing Him to speak to your spirit. Open your heart and free your mind."

"Happily Single"is recognizing that you don’t need or want to be rescued from your life by a handsome prince because your life is pretty awesome, as is."

"Single |sin•gle| (adjective) - Too fabulous to settle."

"Single” is an opportunity to live life on your own terms and not apologize."

"Outer beauty pleases the EYE. Inner beauty captivates the HEART."

"You will never gain anyone's approval by begging for it. When you stand confident in your own worth, respect follows."

"One of the best times for figuring out who you are & what you really want out of life? Right after a break-up."

"Being brave enough to be alone frees you up to invite people into your life because you want them and not because you need them."

"A busy, vibrant, goal-oriented woman is so much more attractive than a woman who waits around for a man to validate her existence."

"Be a bit of a challenge; not because you're playing games but because you realize you're worth the extra effort."

"Maybe it’s NOT Maybelline. Maybe you were just born with it."

"After every storm, there is a rainbow. If you have eyes, you will find it. If you have wisdom, you will create it. If you have love for yourself and others, you won’t need it."

"If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU."

"Consider the fact that maybe…just maybe…beauty and worth aren’t found in a makeup bottle, or a salon-fresh hairstyle, or a fabulous outfit. Maybe our sparkle comes from somewhere deeper inside, somewhere so pure and authentic and REAL, it doesn’t need gloss or polish or glitter to shine."

"YOU are your love of a lifetime."

"It dawns on you one day... how precious your life is and how not okay it is for anyone, ever, to cause you any amount of suffering, ever. Then the next time you step out the door you look at everyone and you’re thinking, “My life is precious and you’re not allowed to hurt me."

"Single is no longer a lack of options – but a choice. A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day Happily and let your Ever After work itself out."
