"Everyone is someone else's hero and everyone is someone else's nightmare."
This quote emphasizes the duality of human nature, suggesting that people can have a profound positive impact (hero) in one person's life while simultaneously causing distress or harm (nightmare) in another's. It encourages empathy and understanding, as it suggests that our interactions with others may not always align with our preconceived notions or expectations. It also serves as a reminder that everyone carries both potential and flaws, and that each person's experience of us is unique and shaped by their own perspectives.
"In a world that's always asking us to be something, it's so important to remember we are already enough."
This quote emphasizes self-acceptance and personal worth in a world that often imposes external expectations. It encourages individuals to recognize their inherent value and significance without the need for validation from others or societal norms. The essence is to understand that one's worth is not something to be earned or proven, but a fundamental part of who they are. This self-awareness can foster inner peace, confidence, and personal growth.
"Be the change you want to see in yourself first, then in the people around you, and finally in the world."
This quote emphasizes that personal transformation is a prerequisite for larger-scale impact. By first focusing on self-improvement and positive change within oneself, one can then influence those close to them, eventually leading to broader societal change. The sentiment is that true transformation starts from within and radiates outward, making the individual a beacon of positive change in their immediate environment and beyond.
"Don't let anyone dim your light. Burn brighter because of them."
This quote emphasizes resilience and self-empowerment in the face of adversity or negative influences from others. It encourages individuals to not only maintain their own brilliance but to amplify it when confronted with naysayers, haters, or anyone who attempts to diminish one's light. The message suggests that instead of being affected negatively by such people, we should use their presence as a catalyst for personal growth and increased radiance.
"When life hands you lemons, make lemonade... or a margarita!"
The quote by Alysis Reiner encourages resilience and finding joy amidst challenges. When faced with difficult situations (symbolized by "lemons"), instead of being discouraged, one should find a way to transform the situation into something positive or enjoyable ("make lemonade... or a margarita!"). It's about turning adversity into opportunity and maintaining a positive outlook on life.
I call my ring Procter and Gamble, because David paid for it through his first commercial from Head & Shoulders. When I met David, he was waiting tables. He was below broke, in deep debt, but I followed my heart. When you're looking for a mate, don't look at his current status, but his present potential that will become a part of his future.

From the moment my dad died, from the moment I found out there was the possibility of his dying, there were many surprises - years after, minutes after. The moments I was okay were as surprising as the ones that I wasn't. Making it through the eulogy without losing it. And then the guilt I felt about it. Surprise!

When I was a kid, I was fat, and I was teased mercilessly. But once I grew up and got out of my unhealthy relationship with food, for the most part I've had a very healthy view. If I ever find myself getting worried about how I'll look on the red carpet, I'll take a step back and look at what's really going on inside.

My daughter loves to be surprised. And she loves to surprise me. She loves to create games where either one or both of us are surprised, or go away, and then come back. And she loves to play them over and over, and over again. The combo is familiar. Go away. Come back. Surprise! She is only two. I better get used to this.
