You really have to look inside yourself and find your own inner strength, and say, ‘I’m proud of what I am and who I am, and I’m just going to be myself’.

Keep your head up high, believe in yourself and reach for your goals!

Stop doubting yourself. Simply keep going and believe in yourself. You’ve got this!

You should never give it up never give it up never give it up
Learn to love yourself
That’s why u got to keep it up got to keep it up got to keep it up
Keep your head up high yeah.

Always believe in yourself and keep your head up.

It is in that moment when you really lay down your cards and see the relationship for what it was, that you’ll find the freedom to kick it in the ass and let it go.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’d ever imagined. Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

I’m very definitely a woman and I enjoy it.

When you love yourself you will never need closure from any man. That doesn’t mean you didn’t love him, it simply means you love yourself enough to realize God has a better plan for you that doesn’t involve one more conversation that will remind you of that person’s lack of respect for you.

Forget your past, forgive yourself, and begin again right now.

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you

Use what you’ve been through as fuel, believe in yourself and be unstoppable!

Keep your head up. Speak positively. Believe in yourself.

If you see the moon, you can find God’s beauty. If you see the sun, you can see God’s power. If you see the mirror, you see the best creation of God. So believe in yourself.

Note to self: Nobody is worth stressing over. Move on. It’s ok to leave people behind. Go find yourself. The world is yours. Life goes

My eyes were blue and nobody loved me but myself.

Anytime you feel jealous or envious, you reject your uniqueness. It’s a criticism of God’s plan for you.

Don’t settle for being an option; become a priority.

I am who I am. Your opinion is neither desired nor required.

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

Before you fall asleep every day, say something positive to yourself.

I promise to plant kisses like seeds on you body, so in time you can grow to love yourself as I love you.

You are the only thing in this world that I love more than myself.

GONZALO: Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.
BOATSWAIN: None that I more love than myself. You are a counsellor; if you can command these elements to silence, and work the peace of the present, we will not hand a rope more; use your authority: if you cannot, give thanks you have lived so long, and make yourself ready in your cabin for the mischance of the hour, if it so hap. [To mariners] Cheerly, good hearts! [To the courtiers] Out of our way, I say.

It gets better. It gets so much easier to be in your skin no matter what size that skin is. If you do something that you’re good at and that makes you happy, that’s the best outlet that I could ever suggest to anybody…. if you are able to just enjoy who you are, and if you can learn to love who you are, then you’ll just be a much happier person.

This chapter in my life is called: Knowing my worth and acting accordingly. No more settling for less, I know what I deserve.

Remember: your spiritual DNA is perfect. It requires no modification, no improvement. The essence of you is absolutely perfect! Bring more of yourself to the surface.

Believe in yourself and others will, too.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

Do what the fuck you want. Stand for what the fuck you believe in and don’t let nobody tell you you can’t do what the fuck you want. I’m a fuckin’ unicorn. Fuck anybody who say I’m not.

I should win a fucking award for being me.

Keep your head up and always be good to yourself.

How to begin: Rebuilding life from within. Love yourself, unconditionally. Release your bottled up emotions. Make time for long walks, alone. Avoid living beyond your means. Nurture your inner strength. Stop apologizing for being you. Surround yourself with positive people. Embrace your situation, whatever it may be.

Don’t wait until you reach your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take.

Keep your head up and be proud of your identity.

Take me as I am or not at all!

If you want to be confident, find out who you are by always believing the best about yourself.

You do that by refusing to think or talk about the way you don’t want to be. You must see yourself exactly the way you want to be — not in the future, but now. Today (and every day moving forward), you want to think, walk, talk and act like the person you want to become.

If there is anything you can do, it may just be to smile for them. Because when you smile, the world seems just a little kinder. For you to just be yourself is a very important thing, I think.

There’s something so magnificent about you. And as you love yourself, you’ll love others.

The dismal fact is that self-respect has nothing to do with the approval of others — who are, after all, deceived easily enough; has nothing to do with reputation, which, as Rhett Butler told Scarlett O’Hara, is something people with courage can do without.

To do without self-respect, on the other hand, is to be an unwilling audience of one to an interminable documentary that deals with one’s failings, both real and imagined, with fresh footage spliced in for every screening. There’s the glass you broke in anger, there’s the hurt on X’s face; watch now, this next scene, the night Y came back from Houston, see how you muff this one. To live without self-respect is to lie awake some night, beyond the reach of warm milk, the Phenobarbital, and the sleeping hand on the coverlet, counting up the sins of commissions and omission, the trusts betrayed, the promises subtly broken, the gifts irrevocably wasted through sloth or cowardice, or carelessness. However long we postpone it, we eventually lie down alone in that notoriously uncomfortable bed, the one we make ourselves. Whether or not we sleep in it depends, of course, on whether or not we respect ourselves.

Don’t ever wish you were someone else, you were meant to be the way you are exactly.

I love God, I love everybody else around me as myself, and I love my enemy.

Don’t be mad at me for being the best at what I was created to be.

They say that we should love ourselves first, before other people learn to love us, but it’s not as easy as it seems. Sometimes, we need someone to accept us and love us first, then we would learn to see ourselves through that person’s eyes and learn to love our-self.

I… There was a time when I stopped talking. Just like you. My reasons were a little bit different, but I think the feelings of being ashamed of myself and hating myself are the same. Here, it says to “like yourself.” What does that mean? Good things – how are you supposed to find them? I only know things that I hate about myself. Because that’s all I know, I hate myself. But even if you force yourself to find good things, it feels so empty. It doesn’t work that way. People like your teacher just don’t get it. I think when you hear someone say they like you, for the first time, then you can begin to like yourself. I think when someone accepts you, for the first time, you feel like you can forgive yourself a little. You can begin to face your fears with courage.

Do what the fuck makes you happy. Because in the end, who’s there? You.

I try to tell all the – not even the kids, even people older than me – to just be themselves. Don’t wear what I wear ’cause I wear it; wear what you like.

Tell these black kids they could be who they are
Dye your hair blue, shit, I’ll do it too.

N**ga, f**k your role model, b**ch! I’m my idol. And if you can’t face it, my n**ga, you can ass it.

You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I’m an easy target. Yeah, you’re right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you… but I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I’m not changing. I like… I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. ‘Cause I’m the real article. What you see is what you get.

Nothing is more impressive than a woman who is secure in the unique way God made her.

I’m an Exquisite Black Queen! I like, love, and celebrate myself. I don’t fit society’s beauty standards, but I’m beautiful to me. I know my worth and I respect who I am as a woman. I’ve got beauty on the inside and that makes me empowered and powerful. I’m fearless and comfortable in my own skin. I’ve got flaws, but I’m still confident! This Queen right here is flawed yet phenomenal, valuable and unique!

The English are great lovers of themselves and of everything belonging to them. They think that there are no other men than themselves, and no other world but England; and when a handsome foreigner walks by they say “he looks like an Englishman“.

Dear Exquisite Black Queen… You are original, unique, and exquisite! Embrace your imperfections with confidence and self-love. Your authentic self is your best self! Flaws and all, you’re still a rare gem! Black woman, you are phenomenal, please believe that!

You know, April, when I told you that I was unhappy with you and the kids, that wasn’t true. I was never unhappy with you guys, I was unhappy with myself. I just wanted to be a success. It turns out I was a success the whole entire time. As a father, a husband, and a pretty goddamn good one at that. I just thought you should know.

I am beautiful because God made me in his image.

When I see the work of his hand, I am amazed that the God who made all this made me.

It’s not a good feeling to hide a huge part of your life. If you were meant to be somebody else, you’d be somebody else, so don’t change who you are.

There is no paycheck that can equal the feeling of contentment that comes from being the person you are meant to be.
