The Diva Rules

by Michelle Visage

You already have what it takes to be the star of your own life.

Divas, whatever you do in life, or whatever you want to do in life, the one thing you have to do first is to get noticed. And you can’t get noticed if you never speak up.

If you spend your whole life looking in the rearview mirror, you’re going to crash.

I’m saying that when I realized I had beauty to offer just by being me, I also understood that everyone else did too.

I am just saying that serving up some real sweetness, coupled with sweet realness, has definitely helped me in my life.

Insecurity is a greedy bitch, and she only stops when there’s nothing left of you to take. So if you give in to her, even just a little, you will spiral downward, and the lower you feel, the harder it’ll be to rescue yourself.

Never give up. Never surrender. Today is the day. What are we waiting for?

Being able to find your fierceness, even in your weakest, most vulnerable moments, is what makes you a diva.

PEOPLE REMEMBER EVERYTHING. They always remember the bad more than the good, but when you’re really good, they remember that too. So even in your darkest moments, live your life with love. You will be rewarded in more ways than you could ever count.

Don’t worry about things you can’t change, and don’t complain about things you can.

If anything is worth doing, it’s going to be part of your legacy.
