TIFFANY HADDISH on learning how to love yourself
“When I hit 25, I read a book by Louis Hay, You Can Heal Your Life. It taught me about self-love, about looking in the mirror, in your eyeballs. This book was saying, just look into your eyeballs and tell yourself that you love and approve of yourself. The first time I did it, I cried really hard because I don’t think I really did love or approve of myself. And as I took on this practice and did it on a regular basis, it was like my life started to slowly change into what I thought I wanted. I really started to recognize my actual beauty and slowly became confident. I had a certain level of confidence that was deniable. And now I’ve nurtured myself like I wish my mother would have all those years ago. I just turned 21 for the 19th time. One of my goals was always to walk into a room and project happiness, elevate the room within 10-foot radius of where my body is there’s joy and happiness around there. ALLURE Magazine

“My disability makes me inspirational to others. My advice is to always be yourself and never give up on your hopes and dreams. I never get upset or sad. I’m always happy and bright and bubbly and a bit cheeky. I am like no other person. I’m just myself. And I’ve made history.” allure

“I really struggle with wanting to give everybody everything all the time. One of the things that I’ve learned recently is you have to do what makes you feel good, not what other people tell you should make you feel good. If you spend little time you have off only doing things out of obligation, your soul suffers from it.” InStyle

“I’ve always tried to be my authentic self. I was a little quirky growing up. I was a bit of a smart aleck, quick to joke. I never thought I was particularly pretty. I certainly have no discernible talents. It’s not like I can sing. I can dance a little bit. But I am very much my own creation. I’ve always felt that my individuality was important.” People Magazine
