This is another wonderful inspirational book. I had not heard of Jen Sincero before picking this up, but I started seeing this book everywhere. Someone on her team is doing some impressive marketing!

Memorable Quotes
- If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If you’re not, you’ll find an excuse.
- You are responsible for what you say and do. You are not responsible for whether or not people freak out about it.
- You are perfect. To think anything less is as pointless as a river thinking that it’s got too many curves or that it moves too slowly or that its rapids are too rapid. Says who? You’re on a journey with no defined beginning, middle or end. There are no wrong twists and turns. There is just being. And your job is to be as you as you can be. This is why you’re here. To shy away from who you truly are would leave the world you-less. You are the only you there is and ever will be. I repeat, you are the only you there is and ever will be. Do not deny the world its one and only chance to bask in your brilliance.
- You are loved. Massively. Ferociously. Unconditionally. The Universe is totally freaking out about how awesome you are. It’s got you wrapped in a warm gorilla hug of adoration. It wants to give you everything you desire. It wants you to be happy. It wants you to see what it sees in you.
- What other people think about you has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.
- There’s nothing as unstoppable as a freight train full of fuck-yeah.
- It never ceases to amaze me the precious time we spend chasing the squirrels around our brains, playing out our dramas, worrying about unwanted facial hair, seeking adoration, justifying our actions, complaining about slow Internet connections, dissecting the lives of idiots, when we are sitting in the middle of a full-blown miracle that is happening right here, right now. We're on a planet that somehow knows how to rotate on its axis and follow a defined path while it hurtles through space! Our hearts beat! We can see! We have love, laughter, language, living rooms, computers, compassion, cars, fire, fingernails, flowers, music, medicine, mountains, muffins!
- So often, we pretend we’ve made a decision, when what we’ve really done is signed up to try until it gets too uncomfortable.
- Imagine what our world would be like if everyone loved themselves so much that they weren’t threatened by other people’s opinions or skin colors or sexual preferences or talents or education or possessions or lack of possessions or religious beliefs or customs or their general tendency to just be whoever the hell they are.
- Never apologize for who you are. It lets the whole world down.
