Authetic Self Quotes

“Life is like a long walk, an extended mediation, where a person discovers the difference between living with attention and awareness and simply passing through the world in a zombie state, ignorant of what is beautiful, true, and virtuous.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Don’t twist yourself into a pretzel just to be liked. Be your fabulous self so the right people will love you. Trying to fit into someone else’s mold is like wearing shoes two sizes too small—painful & pointless. Embrace your flaws, flaunt your true self, & let your true colors shine like a disco ball. The right people will be drawn to your authentic self, & they’re the ones worth keeping. So, drop the act & be unapologetically you—because that’s where the real magic happens.”
― Life is Positive

“The pearl inside its shell forms from the irritation of the sand in the same way our pains and difficulties eventually form our most authentic selves.”
― Alison Litchfield, Roots and Wings: A Woman’s Guide to Embodying the Midlife Passage
