"I’ve grown up defined by this desperate, undeniable, ‘can’t breathe’ kind of space inside of myself and I’m afraid that the diagnosis is fatal."

"Accept yourself: flaws, quirks, talents, secret thoughts, all of it, and experience true liberation."

"I choose not to waste my energy hating someone and I recognise that their negativity drags me down, so I walk away from them."

"When we fulfill our function, which is to truly love ourselves and share love with others, then true happiness sets in."

"I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me."

"You are beautiful. Know this. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying. You are beautiful."

"Being present to yourself in love and with kindness is the ultimate gift."

"Don't doubt yourself, that's what haters are for."

"Life is too short to waste any amount of time on wondering what other people think about you. In the first place, if they had better things going on in their lives, they wouldn't have the time to sit around and talk about you. What's important to me is not others' opinions of me, but what's important to me is my opinion of myself."

"Self love is the elixir of an immortal heart."

"In your own life it's important to know how spectacular you are."

"When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier."

"It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit."

"People who love themselves come across as very loving, generous and kind; they express their self-confidence through humility, forgiveness and inclusiveness."

"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."

"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."

"Does our purpose on Earth directly link to the people whom we end up meeting? Are our relationships and experiences actually the required dots that connect and then lead us to our ultimate destinies?"

"I know that your soul is on life support and that you feel lost and like you’re completely spinning out of control, but you’re finding yourself — here, tonight… even in this darkness."

"Allow yourself to enjoy each happy moment in your life."

"Treat yourself today! You are a unique, sparkling, spectacular soul. Celebrate you!"
