why escape yourself when you are so beautiful get closer to your shine

if you could accept that perfection is impossible what would you stop obsessing over

you lose everything when you don't love yourself - and gain everything when you do

i am not my worst days i am not what happened to me - reminder

i'm either romanticising the past or i'm busy worrying about the future it's no wonder i don't feel alive i'm not living in the only moment that's real - present

how can i be so cruel to myself when i'm doing the best i can - be gentle

i'm breathing aren't i that's gotta be a sign that the universe is on my side if i've made it this far i can make it all the way

you didn't lose it happiness has always been here - you just lost perspective

what we lived through is living in us

our pain is the doorway to our joy

if someone doesn't have a heart you can't go around offering them yours

if you're waiting for them to make you feel like you're enough you'll be waiting a long time

why does everything become less beautiful once it belongs to us

i'm too in love with my life to be spilling all over the floor for the next man who gives me butterflies when i could look in the mirror and take my own breath away

a man can't give me anything i can't give myself - things i wish i could tell the younger me

i'm careful about who i spend my energy on - i know my worth

we've ruined our only home for convenience and profit neither of which will be useful once the earth can't breathe

i was trying to fit into a system that left me empty - capitalism

productivity is not how much work i do in a day but how well i balance what i need to stay healthy - being productive is knowing when to rest

no one is qualified to decide your worth you wake up and live your life every day yours is the only opinion of you that matters

if you tried and didn't end up where you wanted to go that's still progress

not everything you do has to be self-improving you are not a machine you are a person without rest your work can never be full without play your mind can never be nourished - balance

i became confident once i decided that having fun was far more important than my fear of looking silly - dancing in public

don't sleep on the doormat of your potential waiting for things to happen when you could be the thing that happens

i'm not interested in an feminism that thinks simply placing women at the top of oppressive systems is progress

there is a conversation happening inside you pay deep attention to what your inner world is saying

i stopped resisting the unpleasant feelings and accepted that happiness hat nothing to do with feeling good all the time - balance

it's easy to love the nice things about ourselves but true self-love is embracing the difficult parts that live in all of us - acceptance

make it a point to love yourself as fiercely as you do other people - commitment

you do not belong to the future of the past - you belong right here

Deployment tears your heart in two only reconnected at homecoming.

My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ.

You never know which Elle you're going to see day to day, because I wake up in different moods.

I've always felt comfortable in front of a camera. Either you're good at it or you're not good at it.

We are all lucky to be here, we are lucky to be on stage and have millions of people watch us.

I try something new every night. It's an hour show; if it works I maybe try it a few more times and then move that off and try something new. It's a great workshop for me.

I'm from New York. My grandparents were settlers of Long Island City. When they came here, there was no bridge, and they had to hire a boat across the river. They had a farm, and my grandmother had to go once a week to Manhattan to buy provisions - very primitive.
