21 " Secrets keep you sick. Keeping secrets about your shame keeps you stuck in a self-hate cycle. Everything in your spirit is screaming to express this energy, and then you consciously fight against it and push it back down. Then you feel bad about yourself for going against what your spirit wanted; more guilt, more shame, more spirit screaming to unload all that toxic energy. "

22 " There is a space in your heart that is reserved for your own self’s love "
23 " We must stay conscious of our words. We’ve all heard that little phrase when we were kids. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” Well, I call BULLSHIT! As cute as that is and as much as I wish it were true, it’s not. Words are powerful, they can hurt or they can heal. "
24 " Not having self-worth can be detrimental to your health, wealth, success, relationships, parenting ability, happiness, and probably a lot more. It ruins your experience of life. Worth is like a light switch. Low self-worth switches the light off. You live in the darkness and the shadows, unable to see all the beautiful things in the world around you. By increasing self-worth, the light switches on. Now you can see all the beauty life has to offer in all its colorful glory. "

25 " I had to find something, ANYTHING to distract myself from myself. But you can’t run from yourself forever. No matter where you go, you are always there. No matter what you do to avoid being with yourself, you’ll always come back around to having to face you again. "
26 " Don’t speak badly about yourself even if it’s a joke. Words are POWERFUL. "
27 " Do what you want to do when you want to do it "
28 " To all of those who broke my spirit I have spent a lot of time, energy and love Putting it back together and I added some extra things. See, I rebuilt my soul into a spirit that cannot be broken by people like you One that sits up so high I feel invincible My soul sings a song incomprehensible to ears like yours My soul soars Because when you broke me, it let the light in. "
29 " I know who I am and I know what I want, most importantly, I know what I deserve and I demand that others treat me according to this knowing. "
30 " One day I realized just how much I despised being with me. I didn’t want to feel like that anymore. I thought, “shit, I'm going to be this me forever. I have to learn to like myself”. "
31 " You are a beautiful, infinite soul and it’s time to embrace this truth. "
32 " It’s difficult to go from a state of “I hate myself” all the way to “I love myself”. There's a LOT of steps in between those two things. It’s also hard to go from “I love myself” to “I deserve the world!” But here I am. I’m at that state of being. I do deserve the world. I deserve my deepest desires and wildest dreams to come true. I know this with everything in my mind, body, and soul. "
33 " Self-worth is the fire in the core of your being that sparks up in those moments when you are being treated badly that whispers “I don’t deserve this.” Or when you are at that shitty job doing something you hate and that voice says, “I have more to offer the world!” Or when you’ve cried so long and so much that your face is swollen over the person that broke your heart and suddenly you stop and hear “I’m going to be fine with or without them "
34 " People who love themselves, do what they love. "
35 " You don't have to find your purpose in order to live it, you have to live your purpose in order to find it "
36 " Any ability or capacity to love in this world is an accomplishment "
37 " I LOVE doing cartwheels "
38 " You have to treat the world like it's yours to experience "
39 " Pretty much anything can be medicine if it's what your soul craves "
40 " Intentions are like expressways on the map to your future "
