"From the moment we are born as women, the world conspires to make us feel insecure about absolutely everything—the way we look, dress, talk, act." -Cindy Gallop
"I picture myself as a young woman and realize what I would say to that young woman who was so intent on being “a good girl,” doing things perfectly, making sure everything was under control and the best it could be, feeling guilty about the smallest dust-up with a friend, worried about disappointing someone . . . I would tell her that she is OK as she is . . . I would lighten her load and tell her she doesn’t have to be perfect. I would tell her to trust herself to be in the moment and not always on guard. I would tell her to breathe, and not to waste time in worry and guilt . . . I would tell her not to be afraid to fail because every experience counts and will come in handy somehow, somewhere. I would tell her to trust her honest heart and good soul. In short, I would love her. This I tell myself now, and anyone who will listen—to love and have faith in ourselves; this is the source of our energy, our joy, and our real power—and will lead us to speak in our true voices to the world." -Joyce Kulhawik
". . . learning to avoid judging, learning to accept. Aha! All this time, I was the judge, and I thought I was the person being judged. Imagine that. Fear serves, and for the most part it serves you well. But fear also limits you. Test this by remembering a moment of great challenge, when you were not at your best. Feel those unpleasant physical sensations—maybe nausea, or a rapid heart beat, or emptiness. These sensations are evidence that you've given in to you fears." -Joanna Barsh
"Chill out. There are lots of things to stress about, but there are many more things that you’ll miss if that stress consumes you" -Sandy Jen
"Travel is a colorful metaphor for life. There is something magical about falling asleep on a plane and waking up in a new city or a new country. Each new day brings a unique sense of exploration . . . Travel initiates the child-like joy of discovering something new, novel, and memorable. Just experiencing another way of life takes you out of yourself. It forces you to adapt and to gain a new perspective. . . when things go awry, it does not spell inevitable disaster. Nearly all the time, you live to learn another day." -Jennifer Hill
"You may not fully realize it now, but your 20s are amazing years. You have endless time to yourself, and the world is still your oyster. You’re old enough to think about adulthood but young enough to still have hopes, dreams, and idealism. My advice to you is to capture those thoughts now—while they are stll emerging and while your brain still perceives the world that way." -Julie Bornstein
