“ So all of you ridiculously beautiful girls and gays out there, consider yourselves my divas-in-training, because here’s the thing: You already have what it takes to be the star of your own life. You already are fabulous. I can’t give that to you. I can’t make you have that “it” factor. That thing that makes you genuine, generous and grand and magnetism that makes people want to be near you, just because they fell better about themselves and the world when they’re around you. It’s in you. You were born a diva. We all were Think about it: As babies, none of us were afraid to demand attention, make noise, cry out for love, be in our bodies, laugh, sing, play, dance, experiment. We ruled in every room, and it felt perfectly natural, because we never once even thought to question our right to be completely amazing, to take up space, to ne purely ourselves. And then, we grown up and screw up. We get self-consciousness. We allow insecurities to sneak in. We start to harbour shame for who we are( or who we want to be). And before long, that twinkle in our eyes starts to fade. Our God given glitter – gasp!- comes unglues. And we start making decisions based not on what’s spectacular. But on what’s safe. Most people live that way, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that – for them. But not for you. You owe it to yourself to nurture the inner diva that lives within and I am going to show you how to do that and more.”
