Anything a person chases in life runs away.

Be an independent thinker at all times, and ignore anyone who attempts to define you in a limiting way.

He must feel that you choose to be with him, not that you need to be with him.

Standing up for yourself doesn't always involve verbal confrontation. Sometimes it's about not wasting energy on people who are negative.

Throughout life, people will try to shake your faith in yourself. When this happens, remind yourself that the only way they can succeed is if you allow it. When you walk down the street of life, always hold your head high and keep walking. Don't ever let anyone shake your faith in yourself, because that's really all that you have.

Whether it’s your taste in clothing, your needs in a relationship, or what you do for a living—don’t let anyone else be at the controls. Define yourself.

Don't believe what anyone tells you about yourself.
