Random quote of the day:

“Loving oneself isn’t hard when you understand who and what yourself is. It has nothing to do with the shape of your face, the size of your eyes, the length of your hair or the quality of your clothes. It’s so beyond all of those things and it’s what gives life to everything about you. Your own self is such a treasure.

—Phylicia Rashad, YouTube interview with Cherise Nicole (CNikky.com/EURWeb), January 15, 2013

Random quote of the day:

“I was fine being in the closet at the beginning of my career because that’s what you were supposed to be—until I realized that it didn’t serve anybody, and I was left feeling utterly empty. This is who I am, so I’ve gotta be me.”

Self

Random quote of the day:

“It’s not about perfection. It’s about purpose. We have to care about our bodies and what we put in them. Women have to take the time to focus on our mental health—take time for self, for the spiritual, without feeling guilty or selfish. The world will see you the way you see you, and treat you the way you treat yourself.”

—Beyoncé Knowles, Elle, May 2016

Self-Esteem

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I am trying to show the world we are all human beings, that color is not important, that what is important is the quality of our work, of a culture in which the young are not afraid to take chances and can hold onto their values and self-esteem, especially in the arts and in dance. That’s what it’s all about to me.”
