Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your star self-reliance, faith, honesty and industry. Don’t take too much advice — keep at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Energy, invincible determination with the right motive, are the levers that move the world.

Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees

You are beautiful just the way you are. It’s easy to think that the grass is always greener on the other side or that someone is your ideal body type or size or look. But you have to keep in mind and think about what is beautiful about you. Concentrate on appreciating those inner and outer qualities that make you stand out!

Trust your Intuition.

It’s what kept our ancestors alive back in the day. If it feels right go for it. If you feel something pulling you back, listen to it. If it could keep our ancestors from getting eaten or freezing to death, it can help us know what to do.

People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl….It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.

I first learned about this from one of my Leadership classes my freshman year. I simply adore it. I love that a brand as big as Dove is taking on body/appearance issues. It is so refreshing that they choose to find beauty in real, everyday people.

It is my belief that we don’t give ourselves enough credit for how fabulous and gorgeous we really are. You don’t have to look a certain way or dress a certain way to be beautiful, it’s already there. We can so easily pick out a million different things wrong with us that we complete diminish the million and a half things that are great and beautiful! Give yourself a chance to be beautiful and confident!

Love yourself and really own it, you are who you are NOT what you are!
