"I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth"
- Naomi Campbell
About this Quote
This quote by Naomi Campbell talks to the idea of insecurity and the requirement to please others. It suggests that when we are not secure in ourselves, we often try to do the difficult to please others. This can be a method of avoiding taking a look at our own problems and facing the reality. It can be a method of sidetracking ourselves from our own insecurities and preventing the effort of self-improvement. This quote is a pointer that we ought to make the effort to look within and deal with ourselves, instead of trying to please others. It is essential to acknowledge our own worth and value, and to put in the time to deal with our own concerns.
"What is real is not the external form, but the essence of things... it is impossible for anyone to express anything essentially real by imitating its exterior surface"
