“Before you chase success, status, power, wealth fame or love; first fall in love with yourself – for the person you’ll be if and when you get there is still the same. Success will be a painful path and an empty trophy without self acceptance, self worth or if littered with self hate.”

“Don’t value your self worth by others or external things but by appreciating who you are within. And if you must measure your success do it not by what you have gained personally but what you have contributed to a wider benefit. – Rasheed Ogunlaru”

“One step at a time. Baby steps are still steps. Crawl if you must, but keep moving forward. You will never be defeated as long as you keep moving.”

“Begging destroys Effectiveness and Increases Low Self-Esteem, So Quit Begging.”

“Many people measure their self-worth based on how much money they make… once one is able to provide for basic physical needs (food shelter, and so on), the correlation between happiness and worldly success quickly approaches zero.”

“We will always feel inadequate for as long as we view success from a capitalist lens”

“Real, true, key success is honestly liking yourself.”

“Your ability to make me feel like I was less than I was, took awhile to recover from. But after ripping my own self worth to shreds for so long, I realized that I wasn’t less just because I was more than your inexperienced hands could handle.”

“It’s like there’s a check-list of accomplishments that people expect from you. Like it’s the only path to happiness, this societal construct of what makes us successful and worthy. But, don’t buy it. You can be happy no matter which part of the story you’re in. You are worthy in every chapter.”

“Today is a gift that will be taken from you at day’s end. Don’t waste a moment, a chance, a lesson. You’ll never live today again.”

“You may marry Miss Grey for her fifteen pounds but you will always be my Willoughby. My nightmare. My sorrow. My past. My mistake. My regret. My love.”

“You alone have the power to determine your value. Don’t let somebody else paste a discount sticker on you. You’re priceless.”

“When you know that everything matters—that every move counts as much as any other—you will begin living a life of permanent purpose.”
