How To Wear A Crown: A Practical Guide To Knowing Your Worth Quotes

“here is also a beautiful ripple effect that takes place when you love yourself. Your children learn how to love themselves; they teach their children how to love themselves and so on and so forth and look at that, you have done your part to heal an entire lineage of people!”

“Not having self-worth is the most excruciating existence. It is like being stuck in a room for years (like however many you’ve been alive) with a person that hates your guts. Can you imagine that? Stuck in a room with someone constantly telling you how much you suck and sitting there with their arms folded, secretly wishing that you would just die already, and giving you judgmental looks. Who would put up with that? When we think about it this literally, it’s easy to realize just how crazy it is that we’ve lived all this time disliking our own selves.”

“Every human being is equal. Every single human being has worth. It's something that we have just because. Just because we are. We didn’t have to do anything to earn it or do anything to keep it. We are worthy just as we are RIGHT NOW even in our most broken, desperate state. YOU are worthy right now! Even if it doesn’t feel like it. You have to have faith that this is true.”

“It’s difficult to go from a state of “I hate myself” all the way to “I love myself”. There's a LOT of steps in between those two things. It’s also hard to go from “I love myself” to “I deserve the world!” But here I am. I’m at that state of being. I do deserve the world. I deserve my deepest desires and wildest dreams to come true. I know this with everything in my mind, body, and soul.”

“our child will learn A LOT about how to love themselves from the way you love yourself. Yes, they will learn parts of how to have self-worth from how you love them. But most of what they will do in the way of self-love will be what YOU DO in terms of LOVING YOURSELF”

“We are all connected! We are also individuals. We have our own individual selves here on this earth but there is a part of us that is connected to everyone and everything else. We are all ONE. Begin to move your awareness into this understanding and looking at everything around you as if it is part of you.”

“We must stay conscious of our words. We’ve all heard that little phrase when we were kids. “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” Well, I call BULLSHIT! As cute as that is and as much as I wish it were true, it’s not. Words are powerful, they can hurt or they can heal.”

“Secrets keep you sick. Keeping secrets about your shame keeps you stuck in a self-hate cycle. Everything in your spirit is screaming to express this energy, and then you consciously fight against it and push it back down. Then you feel bad about yourself for going against what your spirit wanted; more guilt, more shame, more spirit screaming to unload all that toxic energy.”

“Equilibrium is basically when different forces achieve balance. They become equal or the same. People do this with energy. If you know this and you also know that you have power then you can choose the energy or the feeling of the room or of the group or whatever. Basically, you just feel the feelings really strongly and hold it no matter what is going on around you and no matter what anyone else around you feels like.”

“You are A PART of a greater whole. You are already greater than you could ever know. If you only knew your own greatness. If you only knew your magic. If you only knew that you are an expansive, limitless, beautiful being. You are your own individual, unique, flawed, messy, stubborn, flesh and blood, human part of it all, and it’s fucking mind blowing. There is stardust in your DNA. The love of God is flowing through your veins. You are important.”

“I didn’t even realize how poorly I treated others until I began to grow in love with myself. I gave out to other people the same kind of stuff that I accepted as ok in my life. If it was good enough for me than it was good enough for them, right? Well, as I began to expect more and more loving behaviors from myself and began to expect better treatment from other people, I also began to set the bar a little higher for the way that I treated other people.”
