Mandy Hale

Maybe it__ NOT Maybelline. Maybe you were just born with it.

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.

Outer beauty pleases the EYE. Inner beauty captivates the HEART.

Consider the fact that maybe_just maybe_beauty and worth aren__ found in a makeup bottle, or a salon-fresh hairstyle, or a fabulous outfit. Maybe our sparkle comes from somewhere deeper inside, somewhere so pure and authentic and REAL, it doesn__ need gloss or polish or glitter to shine.

A busy, vibrant, goal-oriented woman is so much more attractive than a woman who waits around for a man to validate her existence.

Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.

Celebrate the people in your life who are there because they love you for no other reason than because you are YOU.

Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we're settling for.

Even seasonal situations can bring with them lessons that last a lifetime. If the love doesn__ last, it prepares you for the one that will.

When life brings you full circle, pay attention. There's a lesson there.

Be a bit of a challenge not because you're playing games but because you realize you're worth the extra effort.

Life isn__ meant to be lived perfectly_but merely to be LIVED. Boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly, magically LIVED.

There are some places in life where you can only go alone. Embrace the beauty of your solo journey.

Single_ is an opportunity to live life on your own terms and not apologize.

Single is no longer a lack of options _ but a choice. A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day Happily and let your Ever After work itself out.

Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful, magical person that your are.

So you're a little weird? Work it! A little different? OWN it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd!

You are not just waiting in vain. There is a purpose behind every delay.
