being-yourself

Nothing can be more hurtful to your heart than betraying yourself.

If you're the smartest person in the room, you might wanna switch rooms.

And anyone will tell you that's the whole point. You want to meet someone who likes the same things you do, and who likes you most when you're most being yourself.

You cannot be who you are not. Simply rest, sit still and unknot. You may even try to emulate and inspire,But it's the inner self that you'll transpire.

Anybody who is imitating somebody else, no matter who it us, is heading in the wrong direction. It is impossible to become like somebody else. Your only hope is to become more fully yourself.

Don´t let your work define you. But let you define what works for you to defy and refine you even more.

My beliefs are the center of my being.

One is either an artist or one is not. It is not something one becomes. It is something that one is from birth. We do not study to be artists. We study to become more proficient. To understand more.

It's sweet and everything, but it's like you're not even there sometimes. It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things." "Like what?" I asked. My mouth was dry. "I don't know. Like take their hands when the slow song comes up for a change. Or be the one who asks someone for a date. Or tell people what you need. Or what you want.

I'd think, maybe he truly is something extraordinary. He's what he is, that's it. Maybe that makes him strong enough, being what he is.

Ordinary people are products of their environment and fit in. Artists transcend their environment and stand out.

Society sucks. It should not matter what others think, if we are fine with it. Still we both have to concern ourselves with what others might see and think.

The question is never 'who am I?' It's 'who do I want to be?

To be real is to be who you are according to the purpose which God wants you to accomplish but not to be who people want you to be according to what they think you should be.

It__ better to be a __isfit_ than a __ne-size-fits-all_!

A girl who truly knows herself is a girl that everybody else wants to know.

There is no model, no actress, no Miss America contender that can outshine a happy, confident, secure woman.

Stand strong in your worth and don't let anyone talk you out of it.
