Self Empowerment Quotes Quotes

“Never seek to please anyone. Seek to evolve thyself.”

“Inherent within your soul is a greater light, recognize and radiate it.”

“You are destiny to be; Rebuilder of great home. Restorer of mighty nation.”

“Life is about learning, succeeding and growing. You only learn if you allow yourself to fail and you can only succeed if you try again. So fail good, fail hard, fail often. But never forget to look for the lesson in your downfall. Because only with that knowledge will you grow and succeed.”

“Self-love is an act of holy disruption. To love yourself in a world that profits directly from your self-loathing is the ultimate subversion of all that seeks to keep you tame. We've been taught to hate all that we are (our softness, our fierceness, our not-enoughness, our too-muchness, our tender flesh, our hard bones, our voices, our insatiable hunger, our yearning for more, our aging, our youth, our ugly, our beauty, our all) so that we can be packaged into a commodity that sells us back to ourselves. Our self-hatred is, in many ways, one of the pillars that capitalism and the patriarchy rely on to keep us small and contained, caged and corralled, safe and quietly in place. To fall headfirst into a lifelong love affair with our purpose, our passion, our capacity, for pleasure, with the sound of our yes and the tenor of our no. With the reflection in the mirror. With the rich inner landscape of our fumbling and messy aliveness - this threatens the status quo. As Naomi Wolf said, "Our appetites DO need to be controlled if things are to stay in place." I don't know about you, but I'm at all not interested or invested in keeping things in place, in maintaining the status quo, in propping up a paradigm that's been trembling on its last legs for far too long. I don't want to have to tamp down my desire, to contain the embers of my fire, to minimize the heat of my burn. I want to love myself enough to always ask for more, and then I want to love myself harder so that I can expand wide enough to receive it when it comes. And no, I don’t think this is easy. Or simple. Or even always gentle. But you loving you? Like really, really loving you? It subverts the whole damn thing. It disrupts the narrative. It flips the script. It’s a way to reclaim all that has been taken. To demand your seat at the table. To call your wholeness home.”

“Poetry empowers the simplest of lives to confront the most extreme sorrows with courage, and motivates the mightiest of offices to humbly heed lessons in compassion.”

“If you must walk in someone's shadow make sure it's your own”

“I have the power," I say with a cheer, To shape how I feel, right now and right here. It's not what has happened or the words that were said, Yesterday's gone, it's long put to bed. Today is here so vibrant and new, I get to choose what I want to do. Tomorrow's still waiting, not yet in sight, This day is my canvas, I'll paint it so bright. Letting go of my worry my fear and my doubt. I'll fill this day up with joy all throughout. Today's what I have its mine to embrace, I choose to fill it with love hope and grace”

“It’s okay to celebrate yourself… It’s okay to see the best in yourself… It’s okay to be proud of yourself… It’s okay to think and speak highly of yourself… It’s OKAY. Yes, you can be humble, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with acknowledging your OWN self, too! If nobody else celebrates with you or for you, be your OWN motivation, inspiration, and encouragement… Keep allowing your greatness to shine bright!”

“Become aware of yourself. Everything will come to you, Chinmay, when you are in that most wonderful place on earth, the centre of your being. If you learn just one thing from this book, let it be that once you are aware of yourself, depression cannot hold you back any more than a tiger can be trapped in a spider’s web.”

“Life is like an immersive art experience. We live in the art that we create, that is painted by our words and actions. In a sense, we are living in our own masterpieces, by seeing that each and every one of us is living in our own artistic creations.”
