Over the years, I've interviewed thousands of people, most of them women, and I would say that the root of every dysfunction I've ever encountered, every problem, has been some sense of a lacking of self-value or of self-worth.

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you, but in the process I forgot that I was special too.

Your self-worth is determined by you. You don't have to depend on someone telling you who you are.

Don't try to lessen yourself for the world; let the world catch up to you.

It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else's job to take care of me but me.

I live to succeed, not to please you or anyone else.
