What if you were to embrace the concept and remind yourself each morning that you are inherently enough and that the journey is often about unbecoming what isn’t truly you, rather than striving to become someone else.
“You are enough just as you are, a human being worthy of love. Don’t spend a lifetime believing otherwise.” - Glennon Doyle
“The masterpiece you are trying to sculpt is already complete. Your work now is simply to chip away everything that is not part of it.” - unknown (often attributed to Michelangelo regarding his sculptures)
“You don't need to be fixed, you were never broken.” - unknown
“The journey into wholeness is about excavating and revealing what is already there, not manufacturing what is missing.” - Mark Epstein
“Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all the things you’ve been pretending to be. Let the pain crack you open to the real you. Let the grief wash you fully.” - Jim Carrey
“You are already the one you have been waiting for.” - unknown
“The most profound journey you can take is the journey to meet your own self.” - unknown
“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” - Brené Brown
“You are not a problem to be solved. You are a mystery to be lived, loved, and unfolded.” - Osho
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson (often misattributed, but the sentiment resonates)
“Become who you are.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
Uncover your true self rather than conforming to external expectations
These quotes emphasize the inherent worthiness within you and suggest that the path to a more authentic and fulfilling life often involves shedding external pressures, societal expectations, and self-imposed limitations to reveal the true self that has always been there.
