Grace Gealey Quotes

I used to have really long hair. It was a big fro with mad curls Picture Quote #1

We may not know what each day has in store for us. We could be gone tomorrow. Any minute could truly be our goodbye. But we do have this moment. This time. Today. Right now. It takes way more effort to shell out hate then it does to allow love to flow freely in our lives. After all, it’s what we were born to do Picture Quote #1

Everybody has a different journey. Everybody has a different path, and you don’t really know what to expect. All you know is to just keep plugging away, and you hope something will come through and something will happen Picture Quote #1

It’s so easy to get whisked away in the hubbub of friends, work and busy-ness, but we need to take the time to be still and become aware of ourselves. The small things. The fact that we’re still breathing. Our ability to move. The presence of love around and in us. Our strengths. Our opportunities. Our journeys Picture Quote #1

Instead of wanting to be better than other people, let’s channel that energy to be better than we were yesterday and then again to be the best we can be tomorrow Picture Quote #1

I used to run around barefoot and climb trees and pick fruit and sell it on the side of the road like a real island girl Picture Quote #1

Back home, we watch a lot of movies, and that was never available to us. When I came to America, I was like, ‘No, it’s really coming out this Friday? Not three months from now?’ Picture Quote #1

Lift others and yourself as you rise above this mess of comparison. Thank God for those who embraced their true selves and gave us gifts that only they could give: from Steve Jobs to Michael Jackson to Ray Charles to Mark Twain. There are so many more, and the list goes on Picture Quote #1

There’s competition among women everywhere you go. But back home, we understand that you can look like a variety of things and still be from the same culture. What I’m saying is that I’ve never felt like I was a light-skinned black woman. Never felt that way because we shared the same culture back home Picture Quote #1

Are we truly being our sisters’ keepers? Initially, that dog-eat-dog mentality within us may bark and say that we aren’t responsible for other people, but if that was truly the case, then why are we even here? We have so much to offer and give to this world Picture Quote #1

I don’t have time to beat myself up over my fallible nature. Instead I use my energy to learn from my past and let it inform my future. It’s time to own all of our glory, mistakes, mess and light and be gentle to ourselves. Let’s be kind to our spirits and celebrate the truth of our hearts Picture Quote #1

Be gentle with everyone you meet; we all have experienced pain, hurt, anger, and rejection. Be kind to everyone’s spirit; you have no idea what healing your light can afford Picture Quote #1

The Saving Our Cinderellas program is a facet of Saving Our Daughters which is more specifically geared towards using music, theatre, film and television as a means to help build self-esteem in our girls by developing programs that allow them to discover, explore and express their individuality using the arts Picture Quote #1

I’m a very spiritual person, and I believe in God and all that kind of stuff. So my perfect type of guy would be spiritually grounded, extremely respectful and funny because I love to laugh Picture Quote #1

There’s a love that I want to continue to offer people. And, I hope I can offer people that love through the art Picture Quote #1

I would love to share the screen with Meryl Streep, wouldn’t we all? I would love to work with Spielberg and Scorsese; that would be lovely. I’m also a huge fan of Johnny Depp and the way he creates his characters, so that would be fun. I mean, any of the greats, really Picture Quote #1

The greatest lesson I have learned in life is that I am enough simply because I have been given life. Growing up, I constantly found myself trying to please others because I wanted to be included and validated. I expended myself completely Picture Quote #1

Living the life I have lived - being raised by deaf parents, assimilating to a different culture, and the challenges I have faced over time - has given me insight to the fact that each person has their own complex, intricate story, and it’s rarely what I suspect it is. We must have compassion and grace for each other. We must Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’ve entirely had that moment yet! There’s still so much more to be done. Professionally I am so grateful to step out into the television world with the remarkable opportunity of being on Empire Picture Quote #1

If necessary, I cry. I pray. I rest. I’m fortunate to have quite a few strong, independent, loving, and unbiased women in my life that I can talk things through with Picture Quote #1

I have a spiritual practice which helps to keep me grounded and centered Picture Quote #1

Yoga is vital because it keeps me in full awareness and connection with my breath Picture Quote #1

I keep a gratitude log, which helps to remind me of all the blessings I experience daily Picture Quote #1

I love to paint. It’s more of a hobby, but people love the paintings so much that I end up selling whatever I paint Picture Quote #1

Forgiveness isn’t simply an option or a good idea; it is mandatory for our restorative process Picture Quote #1

What I love most about yoga is that you can make it whatever you need it to be. For me, it’s a time set aside to pay attention to the stress, concerns, and tension that may have infiltrated my system Picture Quote #1

The best work we can ever do in this world is work on being the greatest version of ourselves so we can continue to give the highest version of this to others Picture Quote #1

In society, we have to earn other things of import like trust, respect, money, education, careers, status and etc., so naturally, we find ourselves attempting to earn love, acceptance and validation along with that. Here’s the trip: we do it at the cost of other people and, more importantly, ourselves Picture Quote #1

Love is accepting your truest, most authentic expression of self, and allowing yourself to do the same with others Picture Quote #1
