You Are a Badass®: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life

by Jen Sincero

You need to go from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life.

you don’t have to wait until you hit rock bottom to start crawling out of your hole.

If you want to live a life you’ve never lived, you have to do things you’ve never done.

it’s not your fault that you’re fucked up. It’s your fault if you stay fucked up, but the foundation of your fuckedupedness is something that’s been passed down through generations of your family, like a coat of arms or a killer cornbread recipe, or in my case, equating confrontation with heart failure.

In order to truly raise your vibration, you’ve got to believe that everything you want is available to you.

This is about your faith being greater than your fear.

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. —Lao Tzu;

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are. —Kurt Cobain;

you create your reality.

It’s none of your business what other people are doing. All that matters is that you’re enjoying yourself and pleased with what you’re creating.

You are more than enough. Avoid comparison like the plague.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME GIVING ONE SINGLE CRAP ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS OF YOU.

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.

Faith is having the audacity to believe in the not-yet seen.

The moment you decide to forgive and let your negative feelings melt away, you are on the road to freedom.

What you choose to focus on becomes your reality.

Really? You’re really going to let that stop you?

You’re the author of your own life—

If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If you’re not, you’ll find an excuse.

REMEMBER THAT DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT

The only failure is quitting. Everything else is just gathering information.
