“It’s not safer to stay quiet. It’s not better to keep the peace. It’s not futile to try. It’s not risky. You are wrong. All your excuses and reasons are wrong. There is no 'right time' to improve your life. The moment you move you’ll discover your strength. That’s the way to bring the real you to the table — by pushing the real you out of your head and into the world. And the best time to do it, is right now when your heart tells you to move.”

“It’s not the big moves that change everything — it’s the smallest ones in your everyday life that do.”

“It’s okay to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.”

“Leave nothing important unsaid.”

“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful, it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living. Heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.”

“Most of us don’t even realize how often we hesitate because we’ve done it so often that it’s become a habit.”

“Nobody is going to come and get me to live the life that I want to live and taking action is the only way to create my own space into the world.”

“Only through action have I unlocked the power inside of me to become the person that I’ve always wanted to be.”

“Passion is not a thing, it's a state of mind.”

“Picasso created nearly 100 masterpieces in his lifetime. But what most people don't know is that he created a total of more than 50,000 works of art. That's two pieces of art a day. Success is a numbers game. You are not going to win if you keep telling yourself to wait. The more often that you choose courage, the more likely you'll succeed.”

“Procrastination is not a form of laziness at all. It’s a coping mechanism for stress.”

“Sometimes there is no next time, no second chance, or no time out. Stop waiting. It’s now or never. When you wait, you aren’t procrastinating. You are doing something more dangerous. You are deliberately convincing yourself 'now is not the time'. You are actively working against your dreams.”

“Waiting for validation will be the death of your dreams.”

“When it comes to goals, dreams, and changing your life, your inner wisdom is a genius. Your goal-related impulses, urges, and instincts are there to guide you. You need to learn to bet on them.”

“A high five is so much more than a slap of a hand. It’s a transfer of energy and belief from one person to another. It awakens something within you. It’s a reminder of something you’ve forgotten. Every high five said I believe in you, which made me believe in myself and in my ability to push forward, step by step.”

“Change the way you look at the world, and the world you’re looking at changes. Yes, it is that simple.”

“Current limiting belief: I screw everything up. I am a failure.

Flip it: I forgive myself for the things I did when I was trying to survive. Every day I am becoming a better version of myself.”

“Current limiting belief: It’s not the right time for my dreams to come true.

Flip it: If I put in the work, I can make this happen.”

“Do it anyway. Part of the reason why you don’t have what you want in your life is because when you don’t feel like doing it, you don’t do it. Your life only gets easier when you do the hard things all the time. Push through your resignation and do it.”

“Every morning, before you look at your phone or let the world in, take a moment to be with your reflection.”

“Instead of getting up and looking at social media, or emails, or taking care of everyone else — just take a moment and give that same love, support, and attention to yourself.”

“Let’s get those dark glasses off, chuck those horrible things you say in the trash, and start training your brain to see you and your future in a whole new way.”

“Negative thoughts fry your nervous system.”

“No matter how atrocious your past was, you can create a different future. It doesn’t matter that your habits are self-destructive or that your mistakes have been disastrous. You can change what happens next. Know that no matter how deep your pit of shame may be, you can climb out of it and start over.”

“One of the most important revelations you can ever have is that your life and your happiness begins and ends inside your own mind. What you say to yourself, how you treat yourself, and the thoughts that run on repeat are everything.”

“People pleasers think they’re being 'nice'. Nope, we’re liars. If you’re a people pleaser, you will behave in a way to manipulate what somebody thinks about you. That’s why you spend most of your energy curating yourself so that you fit in, or will be liked, or so that no one’s mad at you. You are manipulating what people think about you. Instead of just showing up as yourself and making decisions that work for you, you twist yourself in knots so that other people won’t be upset with you. Courage and confidence dissolve guilt.”

“Regardless of how you learned to beat yourself up, the bottom line is if it makes you miserable, you have a responsibility to change it.”

“Shame is like a pair of dark sunglasses. It colors everything you see.”

“When it comes to celebrating and encouraging yourself, you not only fall seriously short — you do the opposite. You trash yourself. You look at yourself in the mirror and pick yourself apart. You tear yourself down and argue against your own goals and dreams. You bend over backward for other people and never for yourself.”
