“Your self-esteem shouldn’t be attached to being perfect or judged. What if we all just did what makes us happy. I think one of the things I’ve understood as I’ve gotten older is how little I care what other people think of me. What I’m mostly concerned about is how I feel about myself. And if I can’t love my aging body, it’s not very kind to this body that’s been working so hard to keep me in the game. If I look at my stomach where my skin is loose because I had a daughter, I think to myself, ‘Oh, the skin…’ And then I go, ‘Who are you? This is not your higher self talking. Look at that beautiful daughter that you made in your body, this human being who’s the most important thing in the world to you, that changed your life .’ Considering what my body has put up with, I just have to be grateful. Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t be afraid to not be great at something. Don’t be afraid to be a beginner. Don’t be afraid to just be whatever it is you are.” People Magazine
