15 Quotes to Make You Feel Strong Just As You Are

We live, most of us, feeling as though we’re missing something.

We seek to feel whole, internally, and this often has a toll on our mental well-being. And what’s worse, many of us use mechanisms such as addiction to try and run, hide from, or bottle down this feeling of unworthiness only to do further damage to ourselves.


The reality is, we’ve just lost sight of the truth. You are whole, and the wisest men and women throughout human history have echoed this relentlessly for you to hear. You just have to be willing to listen to their voices.

I hope the below collection of quotes helps spark something within you – a feeling of strength in your own skin. And to feel worthy... just as you are.
