Tyler Perry Quotes

Would you rather live your life according to the approval of others or aligned with your truth and your dreams?

We can all tend to get caught up in the complications of life that we create; we live life for other people. It's a harrowing moment when you're confronted with an end, and you have to make the choice to live your life for you.

Be really, really true to yourself. That to me, has been key to me in understanding how I want to live the second half of my life.

Success is nothing more than living your life according to your own truth and your own terms.

You do have to follow your heart, otherwise you're living a false life.

I'm undeniably myself, and I think realizing that is the way to live life.

I think everybody needs to find out who they are and who their, like, inner superhero is, or who you like to be. The world would be a better place if everyone was doing what the hell they wanted to do and being who they wanted to be.

I don't care about anything but what I want to do. You can't worry about what else is happening out there. You have to be true to yourself.

I have one rule I live by: Only do what you can do. That neans you're never looking outside for what's popular; you're always looking inside for what's true.

To be true to ourselves, however, is not an easy task. We must break free of the seductions of society and live life on our own terms, under our own values and aligned with our original dreams. We must tap our hidden selves; explore the deep-seated, unseen hopes, desires, strengths and weaknesses that make us who we are. We must understand where we have been and where we are going.

The definition of success changes. Success is to live your life with integrity and not give in to peer pressure to be something you're not. Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else's path; unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, then by all means, you should follow that.

Life is too short and too precious to waste it living out someone else’s values. We must find our own.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Live your life so that if someone says 'Be yourself' it's good advice.

I'm going to be true to what I want to do, because if I care what people think about me, I'm a puppet. Which I have been in my life. And you can't live life that way, man!

I intend to be me. Whatever that is.

I think that more and more there's a sense that the best performances I can give are the ones that are the truest to who I am. The further I move away from who I am, the worse they are.

I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That's the only way you can be genuinely happy.

Life is too short to be living somebody else's dream.

I don't think it's about entertainment. I think it's about being ourselves.

I just live my life.

Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

I think that people should do what their heart and soul tells them to do.

Your job is not just to do what your parents say, what your teachers say, what society says, but to figure out what your heart calling is and to be led by that.

There's too much judgment out there. Really what we need to be doing is just all of us finding our own paths towards living the best lives we can live as clearly and boldly in accordance with our own personal values. And that's what I'm trying to do.
