Yourself
(page 6)
Beauty has so many forms, and I think the most beautiful thing is confidence and loving yourself.
Love yourself. It is important to stay positive because beauty comes from the inside out.
Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that's when you're most beautiful.
Be stupid, be dumb, be funny, if that's who you are. Don't try to be someone that society wants you to be; that's stupid. So be yourself.
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Being confident is the key to life. Don't be afraid to be you! I'm super different from a lot of kids my age with style and personality, and I'm OK with it. And if you are OK with it, everyone else will be, too. Just be yourself.
Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.
Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
If you believe in yourself anything is possible.
My 93-year-old grandma is a beautiful example of healthy living. She laughs a lot and always says, 'Just be yourself!' She also eats dessert every single day.
In my business, you should be very strong in mind. You have to be sure about yourself and about your work and your career, and you have to be strong inside because so many people come around and try to say bad things about you.
The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives — the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.
People are incapable of stereotyping you; you stereotype yourself because you're the one who accepts roles that put you in this rut or in this stereotype.
When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.
People make basic assumptions based on what they have now. But you have to ask yourself, 'Is this really what people are going to be doing in five years?' Very few people ask themselves what they would actually want instead if they could wave a magic wand.
Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and repeat to yourself, the most comforting words of all; this, too, shall pass.
