I realized that she had not just faked it till she made it, she had actually faked it till she became it. So she had changed. And so I want to say to you, don't fake it till you make it. Fake it till you become it. Do it enough until you actually become it and internalize.

I think a lot of people are afraid of being happy because of what others might think of it. They're afraid to embrace that and embrace themselves and love themselves and do what they love and do what makes them happy.  It is very easy to get sucked into that way of thinking and working according to society, but you have to write your own story.  And my story is definitely going to be a happily ever after, no matter what.

-- Rihanna
