Best 21 quotes of Lizzie Velasquez on MyQuotes

Fully embrace the fact that you are enough just being you. It's so important for women to champion each other instead of competing against each other. Believe in yourself and believe in all of the women in your life. As females we are already strong but imagine if we all supported one another? What a world that would be.

I don't believe in having regrets. I believe everything happens for a reason even when we don't want it to happen. Every high and every low moment has a lesson waiting for you to find it.

I used to be the definition of a people pleaser. I would say 'yes' to anything and everything and then, when I got home, I'd complain and vent to my family. I had to realise that it's okay to say 'no' sometimes.

I would encourage women to own their vulnerable moments. We're all human and we don't have it all together - that is perfectly okay. Admit when you're having a hard time and don't hesitate to ask for help. You will be very surprised when you realise we are all in the same boat at one time or another.

Just like everything else in our lives, with the good comes the bad. It applies to success as well. Success isn't a destination, it's a journey - a journey that will be sure to come with lots of great achievements and lots of setbacks. You have the power to decide if those downsides are going to define you in a negative way or a positive way.

Often I'm told I'm an inspiration to people which I will forever be grateful for. But the reality is that I'm only able to help others because others are helping me. Everyday people who are doing whatever they can to help make a difference are what keeps me going.

Opportunities will always be there but the level you'd be able to fulfil those opportunities depends on you being fully present and working to the best of your ability.

To me, ultimate happiness is a journey, not a destination. It's not somewhere you end up, it's making choices every day to make yourself happy.

When I close my eyes at night I'm able to go to bed with a heart full of gratitude. When I wake up in the morning my heart is full with thankfulness and peace. I don't know what tomorrow will hold, but I do know I will live each day to the fullest.

When you are tiny like me and it's hard to find clothes that fit you get really creative! I do love fashion though, and it's so fun to play with different things.

I always say that creating positive change in the world starts with just one person: you. That’s why it is so important to learn to be the right kind of selfish. It’s essential to learn the art of taking care of ourselves so that we can have the energy and the willpower to take care of each other and the world that we live in

If you want to change the world, you start small, right at home.

It is fine to be who you are. It is a good thing not to be just like everybody else. What makes you unique is what makes you beautiful, because it’s what makes you you. And the world needs you, exactly as you are. That’s the truth, plain and simple.

Pain and anger have to go somewhere. If we keep stuffing them down instead of processing them, we’ll end up either turning them inward, which isn’t good, or outward, which is no better.

The love that family members share is essential, and it’s so important to highlight it no matter what else might be happening.

We all need to give ourselves permission to feel our true feelings, even if those are decidedly darker or heavier than happiness. Instead of keeping that bright, positive attitude and claiming “I’m fine!” no matter what’s really going on, we need to be honest, with ourselves and others, about how we’re really feeling.

We don’t have to allow ourselves to be defined by the labels imposed on us. We get to define ourselves.

We experience challenges in order to learn and grow. We have fears because we’re human, and our life’s work includes working through them, to come to a place of genuine self-acceptance, compassion, and love.

You are perfect just as you are, and so am I.

You have your very own recipe for success in life, based on a unique mix of ingredients. Those ingredients are you—the qualities that you bring to the table, made up of your own personality and experiences. Your uniqueness is your gift to the world.

You’re good enough as you are. You’re beautiful as you are! But equally accept that it is natural for everyone to love and be loved. We don’t need to run from love; we need to run toward it.
