In addition, she provides a step-by-step blueprint to take your dream from fantasy to realization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the best passages from the book with explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quotes by Rachel Hollis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this follow-up to <em>Girl, Wash Your Face<\/em>, blogger, motivational speaker, and author Rachel Hollis writes that she\u2019s fed up with seeing women ignore their own dreams because of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/overcoming-self-doubt\/\">self-doubt<\/a>, guilt, and society\u2019s expectation that women put others first. Hollis offers the lessons she learned in growing from humble beginnings to becoming the founder of a multimillion-dollar media company to help her readers shed the weight of expectation and achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the best <em>Girl, Stop Apologizing <\/em>quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cYou are allowed to want more for yourself for no other reason than because it makes your heart happy. You don\u2019t need anyone\u2019s permission, and you certainly shouldn\u2019t have to rely on anyone\u2019s support as the catalyst to get you there.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hollis explains that <strong>when you let others derail your plans, or talk you out of your dreams, you\u2019re apologizing to them through the act of quitting<\/strong>. You\u2019re essentially telling these people, \u201cI\u2019m sorry I tried to do (fill in the blank). I\u2019ll stop now.\u201d She says that<strong> when you face adversity, it\u2019s crucial that you stand your ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;&#8230;the world needs your spark. The world needs your energy. The world needs you to show up for your life and take hold of your potential! We need your ideas. We need your love and care. We need your passion. We need your business models. We need to celebrate your successes. We need to watch you rise back up after your failures. We need to see your courage. We need to hear your what if. We need you to stop apologizing for being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-genius\/\">who you are<\/a> and become who you were meant to be.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In response to the excuse that your dream isn\u2019t unique, Hollis drops this truth bomb: Your dream <\/strong><strong><em>isn\u2019t<\/em><\/strong><strong> unique\u2014but that\u2019s okay.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hollis urges you to acknowledge these truths about your dream:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Yes, it has been done before. Probably many times.<\/li><li>Yes, it has been mastered by people who might always be better at it than you.<\/li><li><strong>Yes, it is still worth doing.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the first two points are true, then <strong>why exactly is your dream still worth pursuing<\/strong>? Hollis provides four reasons: It is enjoyable; the world needs more than one; being the best isn\u2019t necessary for success; and you will regret it if you don\u2019t do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First, it is enjoyable. <\/strong>Hollis maintains you must be true to yourself, and part of that is enjoying what you spend most of your time doing. In other words, don\u2019t underestimate the importance of joy in life. Consider the following examples of things that have been done before: Eating is done by everybody, but do you still like eating? Sex isn\u2019t new, but can you imagine life without it? Have you ever chosen to watch a remake of a movie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201c&#8230;most women, regardless of where they grew up or what their cultural background is, have been taught essentially that to be a good woman is to be good for other people. The problem with this is that it means you\u2019re letting other people determine your worth. Is it any wonder that half the women I know suffer from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/low-mood-and-anxiety\/\">anxiety and depression<\/a>, drowning underneath the wave of what other people think? We\u2019ve been taught that we don\u2019t have any value without the good opinions of others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Hollis argues that this line of thinking<strong> (<\/strong>a good woman must always put herself last) is an excuse that women must shed because<strong> when you\u2019re being true to yourself, you\u2019re better able to care for those you love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hollis insists that keeping your dreams hidden away, even if you\u2019re secretly working on them, is the same as hiding part of yourself\u2014and this takes a toll on your well-being. She believes that <strong>if you deny what your soul needs, it will manifest in illness, anxiety, and depression.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In regard to the idea of selfishness, Hollis points out that a fulfilled woman will be better in all of her relationships. She\u2019ll be a better partner, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-be-a-better-parent-2\/\">better parent<\/a>, a better friend, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cI am one of the happiest gals you know because I choose it every single day. I choose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/practicing-gratitude\/\">practice gratitude<\/a>; I choose to surround myself with things and people who support positivity.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Gratitude is one of her five healthy living components, Hollis believes gratitude is the most important. She recommends writing down 10 things you\u2019re grateful for each day, big or small. Make them specific (I am thankful my husband brought me coffee this morning vs. I am thankful for a good husband). She believes if you write your gratitudes down every single day, your mind will become conditioned to recognize blessings; as a result, you will attract even more opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are some of the best Girl, Stop Apologizing quotes?
