Janie, to me, represents awareness of self and becoming a whole person, ... I used to be one of those women who was afraid of being full of herself. Because growing up, and even in elementary school, people would say, 'Oh, she thinks she's so full of herself.'
I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
You cannot hate other people without hating your self
You can either waltz boldly onto the stage of life and live the way you know your spirit is nudging you to, or you can sit quietly by the wall, receding into the shadows of fear and self doubt.
Only make decisions that support your self-image, self-esteem, and self-worth.
All these years I've been feeling like I was growing into myself. Finally, I feel grown.
Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.
It's up to each of us to get very still and say, 'This is who I am.' No one else defines your life. Only you do.
If you neglect to recharge a battery, it dies. And if you run full speed ahead without stopping for water, you lose momentum to finish the race.
Self-esteem comes from being able to define the world in your own terms and refusing to abide by the judgments of others.
I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.
It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures.
Don?t back down just to keep the peace. Standing up for your beliefs builds self-confidence and self-esteem.
If we're really committed to growth, we never stop discovering new dimensions of self and self-expression .
