Famous Nida Awadia Quotes

“You know you are in a relationship with the wrong person when you start feeling lighter, happier, and kinder to yourself after they leave the room. You start appreciating your space and your freedom to grow. You start breathing slowly, dropping your shoulders, and relaxing your jaw. You start hearing your inner voice—who you want to be, where you want to be, and how you want to get there. You start noticing your potential. You start believing your goals are achievable and your dreams are possible. Nothing seems difficult. Through time apart, you start blooming into someone more confident, optimistic, and vibrant. You start seeing beauty in the things you never did before—in people, paintings, and nature. You see, when the wrong person steps out, all the right things start flowing in. You reclaim so much of what you lost in the relationship, including yourself." ― Nida Awadia”

“You were never too much of anything. You were simply with the wrong person. You were being your authentic self, and rather than being accepted and loved for who you were, you were criticized because you made them feel threatened. Yes, you made them feel endangered with all your beauty and light. Your unwavering opinions hit their ego and made them feel less powerful. Your determination to pursue your dreams made them feel unaccomplished. Your ability to draw the line when they took situations too far made them feel weak. Your beauty, poise, and charisma made them feel insecure. You, exercising your independence and freedom, made them feel replaceable. You see, you were never too opinionated, too determined, too bold, too needy, or too free. You were perfect the way you were. You were shining in all your glory. Your brilliance was too much for them to handle.”

“You are not who you become when life throws the most difficult situations at you. You are not timid, faint-hearted, or sunk in gloom. You are not absent from this world, disinterested, or discouraging. You are what swells within you when you are joyful, spirited, and hopeful. You are what roams within every crevice of your body when you are most inspired. You are who you are when you are most at peace and ease. You are what makes your belly ache when you laugh alongside your favorite people. You are not who you are during the most turbulent periods of your life. You are meant to feel discomfort when life facilitates your growth and expansion. You are meant to feel alarmed and pulled out of your natural element during your evolution. Please don’t gloss over all that you are during your transformation.”

“You are not complete the day someone compliments you, shows you off to the world, or showers you with affection. You are not complete the day someone feeds your ego and gives you validation. You are complete the day you recognize you are unique, extraordinary, and irreplaceable. You are complete the day you trace your scars and see them as unique and beautiful. You are complete the day you turn inwards to get your own validation. You are complete the day you realize only your approval matters.”

“When people break us and walk away, we are not left empty- handed. We are left with many gifts. We gradually start seeing the world beyond the people who broke us. We start turning inward for the things we used to turn outward for. We start relying on ourselves—trusting and befriending our own spirit. We start taking comfort in solitude, becoming more in tune with the life we want to draw our breaths from. We start learning who to trust and who not to trust, who to let in and who to keep at a distance. When people break us and walk away, it aches—it feels like a part of us has fled with them. But remember—growth and greatness steps forward in our lives when people step back. Every heartbreak clears our path for a stronger tie with ourselves, and this is a gift.”
