Desiree Rogers Quotes

I think I've found out who I am and what we've been looking for. We don't have to search for my identity anymore. This is it-we're doing it!

There is no paycheck that can equal the feeling of contentment that comes from being the person you are meant to be.

I never had time to dream about being anyone else.

One of my problems is to find the self.

I definitely feel more complete than before. There's a void you have when you don't feel you've found the other part of who you are, so I'm in a different place now and that's nice to experience.

I want to stop transforming and just start being.

Getting in touch with your true self must be your first priority.

That's a lovely starting point for me as an actor: the question of what will we - or can we - do with this lot of years with which we're blessed? More than my other films, 'The Danish Girl' is about the gigantic risks involved in being true to one's self.

I just realized the best way to live your life is to just be you, as cliche as it sounds. I grew up trying to please everyone.

I am the excuse to explore your identity. To be exactly who you are and to feel unafraid. To not judge yourself, to not hate yourself.

Let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are.

Happiness is not on my list of priorities. I just deal with day-to-day things. If I'm happy, I'm happy – and if I'm not, I don't know the difference... Knowing that you are the person you were put on this earth to be – that's much more important than just being happy.

He who with sincerity seeks his real purpose in life is himself sought by that purpose.

Being myself didn't work. Being someone else didn't work. Maybe I just wasn't meant to have friends.

I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.

Be completely true to yourself and you'll be happy.

Don't ever become so preoccupied by who you want to be that you forget to be who you are.

I myself am still learning how to be me and that's OK. It can take a really long time to become the person you really want to be. Be who you are. It's the greatest gift we can give to ourselves, our community and our world.

Discovering vocation does not mean scrambling toward some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of true self I already posses.

Everything has its own place and function. That applies to people, although many don't seem to realize it, stuck as they are in the wrong job, the wrong marriage, or the wrong house. When you know and respect your Inner Nature, you know where you belong. You also know where you don't belong.

Your purpose is about discovering and nurturing who you truly are, to know and love yourself at the deepest level and to guide yourself back home when you lose your way. That's it. Everything else is your burning passion, your inspired mission, your job, your love-fueled hobby, etc. Those things are powerful and essential, but they're not your purpose. Your purpose is much bigger than that.

Finding your passion isn't just about careers and money. It's about finding your authentic self. The one you've buried beneath other people's needs.

You've always made the mistake of being yourself.

You are constantly invited to be what you are.

What you want to do is to get to the point where you only do what matters to you. The real goal in life is to become more of who you are, so that you can make the choices that really satisfy who you are and what you want to do.
