Happy Birthday Dr. Angelou! 7 Gems from Maya

April 4th, 2012 - By Veronica Wells

Dr. Maya Angelou has provided inspiration for countless people around the world throughout her lifetime. It’d be virtually impossible to measure the scope and depth her work has left on the people she’s touched; but since today marks the 84th anniversary of her birth, it’s only fitting that we at least highlight just some of gems she’s dropped on us over the past 84 years.

I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t love themselves.

This one is pretty self explanatory and completely logical. Yet and still so many of us will waste much time trying to repair broken people and being surprised when they cant reciprocate. Anyone who doesn’t love themselves can’t possibly love you in the way you want and need to be loved.

    Those were all great gems but “When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time” will forever resonate with me. I could have spared myself a lot of heartache had I only taken that advice. As a woman, I got caught up in trying to change a man, but his true colors were right there from jump!

    Happy birthday Dr. Angelou!

    Excellent food for thought.

    “Don’t let petty issues divide us” is my favorite from the list. Stop obsessing over light skinned vs dark skinned, natural hair vs perm. Just let people be who they are and live life!
