Quotes from Jen Sincero

You get to choose how you perceive your reality. So why, when it comes to perceiving yourself, would you choose to see anything other than a super-huge rock star of a creature?

Treat everyone on Earth like you're staying in their home. Because you are.

If the point of an activity is to be relaxing, changing that point to money isn't a great idea. Then you have to show up for it differently, and that can take the fun out of it, absolutely. I'm a big fan of turning your hobbies into businesses, but not if it's the hobby you do to relax and unplug.

Talk to strangers. They're never who you think they are at first.

It's a knowing that you're human, you're flawed, and you're awesome in your own way.

You have to get outside of your comfort zone if you're going to make significant changes in your life, and since few things scare people like the unknown, feeling fear is an excellent sign that you're on the right track.

The key to growth is acknowledging your fear of the unknown and jumping in anyway.

Write down everything you feel about money – 'I love you;' 'I wish I had more of you;' 'I don't trust you;' – Then, look at the ones that aren't quite so pretty and figure out how you can shift them to be in a more positive, grateful space.

When we push against who we naturally are, we feel stress, things don't progress easily, we beat ourselves up for getting crappy results, and everything is an effort.

If you want to be a powerful woman, you need money. It gives you options and freedom so you don't have to think about money all the time.

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.

What other people think about you has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.

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.

Because if you base your self-worth on what everyone else thinks of you, you hand all your power over to other people and become dependent on a source outside of yourself for validation. Then you wind up chasing after something you have no control over, and should that something suddenly place its focus somewhere else, or change its mind and decide you're no longer very interesting, you end up with a full-blown identity crisis.

There's nothing as unstoppable as a freight train full of fuck-yeah.

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.

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.

Never apologize for who you are. It lets the whole world down.

We only get to be in our bodies for a limited time, why not celebrate the journey instead of merely riding it out until it's over?

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

We are all perfect in our own, magnificent, fucked-up ways. Laugh at yourself. Love yourself and others. Rejoice in the cosmic ridiculousness.

Nobody who ever accomplished anything big or new or worth raising a celebratory fist in the air did it from their comfort zone. They risked ridicule and failure and sometimes even death.

Our thoughts become our words, our words become our beliefs, our beliefs become our actions, our actions become our habits, and our habits become our realities.
