"One of my favorite moments of this week's episode was when we read quotes from our favorite books. We also mentioned that we'd place them here in case you wanted to read it for yourself. Here are mine." - Brooklyne
* “I was living my entire life waiting for a moment to be special enough for me to look, feel and act my best, and the truth is, you don’t need a special moment, or any reason at all, to do that. If not now, then when? This saying became my mantra and the answer to a dozen different questions.
Should we eat off the nice wedding china or paper plates? Should I dress up for a date with my husband or just wear jeans again? Bake some cookies for the neighbors?
The answer to all of these questions is the same: if not now, then when? You could spend forever planning out your someday when right now, today, this second, this is all you’ve got. Someday isn’t guaranteed.” - Rachel Hollis, "Girl, Wash Your Face"
* “Where I was raised, women are taught that to be a good woman you need to be good for other people. If your kids are happy, then you’re a good mom. If your husband is happy, then you’re a good wife. All of your value is essentially wrapped up in other people’s happiness. How can anyone successfully navigate that for a lifetime?
It’s no wonder so many mothers send me notes telling me they’ve lost themselves. Of course they have. If you live your life to please everyone else, you forget what used to make you YOU.” - Rachel Hollis, "Girl, Wash Your Face"
* “Being nervous is uncommon; it’s uncomfortable; it’s stressful. That’s why it’s awesome. Being nervous is how I feel alive. To me, it’s a rush. A mental bungee jump.” - Bobby Bones, "Fail Until You Don't: Fight. Grind. Repeat."
* “Truth is, we feel like everyone is always watching and judging us. Nope. People just care about themselves. You’ve likely seen someone really botch a presentation or be really nervous speaking in public and never given it a second thought once it was done. Return the favor to yourself.” - Bobby Bones, "Fail Until You Don't: Fight. Grind. Repeat."
