11 quotes from “You Are a Badass” that will make you think

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at ECU chapter.

“You are a Badass” by Jen Sincero is a Self-Help book that came out in 2013 and has sold two million copies!! I read it recently and these are my favorite quotes from it: 

 

“You are responsible for what you say and do. You are not responsible for whether or not people freak out about it”

“If you based your self-worth on what everyone thinks of you, you hand all your power over to other people and become dependent on a source outside of yourself for validation”

 

“You created the reality you now exist in with your thoughts, which means you can use the very same power of thought to change it”

 

“As long as you feed the beast, it shall live”

“You have to change your thinking first, and then the evidence appears. Our big mistake is that we do it the other way around. We demand to see the evidence before we believe it to be true”

 

“When you are consistently in a state of gratitude, and aware of all the awesomeness that already  exists, it, among many other things, make it much easier for you to believe that there’s more awesomeness where that came from, and that this yet-to-be-manifested awesomeness is also available to you”

 

“Being in gratitude for the not-yet manifested informs The Universe that you know that what you desire already exists, and puts you at the right frequency to receive it”

 

“Love yourself. Be grateful for all you are and all that you’re becoming”

 

“Your life is your party. You get to choose how you invite people and experiences and things into it”

“Give yourself the permission and the means (yes, this includes the money), to be who you are REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS OR BELIEVES IS POSSIBLE.”

 

“Love yourself. You are a badass”
