“Don’t count on cheerleaders once you start living a life more reflective of your truth. They may not want to do somersaults and backflips for your awakening, not when they’re still asleep. Don’t let that stop you. Most of us have only been trained to cheer for conformity, to commend those who are just like us. But aren’t you bored of being congratulated for fitting in? Aren’t you tired of ignoring your heart’s requests?Don’t wait for cheerleaders. Be grateful if they show up, but you show up regardless, with or without them.You will never be defined by the reception you get from others, only by the truth with which you receive yourself. Be your biggest cheerleader. Love yourself. And applaud every single step you take toward truth.”

“Let’s quit trying so hard to be some version of a normal we’ve never really been.”

“The fact that you don’t realize how wonderful you are only makes you more wonderful.”

“Let them judge you.Let them misunderstand you.Let them gossip about you.Their opinions aren’t your problem.You stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity.No matter what they do or say,don’t you dare doubt your worthor the beauty of your truth.Just keep on shining like you do.”

“So much possibility lives within the beauty of your authenticity. Be real.”

“We can disagree with one another without being raging, judgmental, spiteful, self-righteous lunatics. Can’t we?”

“After so many years struggling to keep up with you, I finally realized we’re not even running the same race.”

“less apathy,more empathy.”

“In acceptance, I am grounded. In vulnerability, I am strong. In love, I am whole.”

“I won’t stop until I can look at myself in the mirror in love with the person I see.”

“I can’t apologize for who I am any more. Even better, I have no desire to.”
