3. “Dreams are little nudges from your soul.” Victoria Moran

4. “To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too.” Victoria Moran

When you don’t believe in yourself this much, pretend.” Victoria Moran

14. “A simple life is not seeing how little we can get by with – that’s poverty – but how efficiently we can put first things first.

28. “The key to living in a way that fat, broke & lonely can’t touch is to get back in the game as soon as you realize you’re out of it. This doesn’t come from kicks and phases. It arises from inserting, one at a time, features of the life you want into the life you’ve got. When you see that you’ve fallen into an old pattern, get back to the new one. Otherwise, you’ll be caught up in a soap opera with only one plot.” Victoria Moran

33. “Happiness comes from accepting the present situation, whether it’s something you wish to savor as long as possible or change as quickly as you can. Neither is possible without acceptance as the starting point, because without acceptance, you are living on the periphery of your life.
