I love, love, LOVE a good quote.
I love quotes filled with deep insight, quotes that help you see your life and the world from a whole new perspective, quotes that inspire you to keep going during the toughest times, and quotes that make you feel good inside and out.
In fact, I spoke about 22 of my favorite quotes in Part 1: 22 of the Best Rhonda Britten Quotes. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check that out, too, when you’re done here.
But 22 simply wasn’t enough! I’ve collected so many amazing quotes over the years—and coined over 100 of my own—as I’ve charted my course through Fearless Living and writing multiple best-selling books.
These quotes are what Fearless Living is all about. They’ve helped me and hundreds of others during Life Coaching sessions, and I am positive they will help you too.
Take a moment for yourself and read through this continued list of Fearless Living quotes. (Stay tuned for Part 3!)
Save the ones you most connect with by printing them to put out on display or by copying them into your journal. I keep myself inspired and Fearless by sticking my favorite quotes on the fridge, pinning them to the front of my journal or inside cupboard doors, and framing them on my desk.
These friendly little reminders help me stay on track and keep me inspired to live the life my soul intended™—and they will do the same for you.
“Give yourself a break, but don’t let yourself off the hook.” - Rhonda Britten
Friends—we all need to take breaks! We all need rest and nourishment to keep our mighty selves going. Overworking yourself to the extent of burnout to achieve your goal or to help others won’t do anyone any good in the end. It will lead to unhappiness, resentment, a broken spirit, and both physical and mental health concerns.
BUT! Taking a much needed break does not mean giving up and throwing in the towel. If you truly want to live the life your soul intended, you must continue to show up for yourself.
Taking breaks doesn’t mean letting yourself off the hook. You still need to show up. You still need to put in the work.
Find balance in giving your body, mind, and soul the breaks you need while not letting that compromise your progress.
“Freedom equals your capacity to live in the unknown.” - Rhonda Britten
Fear of the unknown is a fundamental fear that all of us are familiar with. But that fear chains us, holds us down, and keeps us from freedom.
To live in the unknown is to know freedom.
But of course, that isn’t easy.
Your brain wants to understand, name, and predict as much as possible.
And when it can't do that, fear presents itself. The brain looks at the unknown with fear because what it doesn’t know might possibly harm you—your body, mind, emotional state, etc.
Fear is such a natural human response because it’s how, for many years before modern society, humans protected themselves.

“Discipline is the path to personal freedom.” - Rhonda Britten
Some people think discipline and freedom don’t mix. I disagree! Discipline and putting one foot in front of the other is exactly how you achieve personal freedom.
Discipline means showing up for yourself every day. Discipline doesn’t mean that every day will be perfect and that everything will always go as planned, but it means showing up and building healthy habits for yourself.
The right type of discipline will lead you to personal freedom.
“Become fascinated by your process.” - Rhonda Britten
We often focus too much on the end goal. On the destination. We think we can’t be happy unless we earn that promotion or lose those ten pounds or write that book. But the journey is the destination. Every small step we take is worth celebrating because it carries us forward. Every supposed misstep is an opportunity to learn and grow in life and love.
Sometimes, it’s one step forward and two steps back. And that is OKAY. It’s normal. There will always be ups and downs. But enjoying the journey is the best way to stay on the journey. Show yourself compassion. You are beautiful and wonderful just the way you are!
“Everyone you meet is either helping you get on or off of your Wheel of Fear.” - Rhonda Britten
The people you surround yourself with have a major impact on your life.
Think about who you spend the most time with.
- Do they fill you with joy and make you feel seen for the wonderful person you are, or do they make you feel judged and isolated?
- Do they empower you to be who you are or make you afraid to express yourself?
- Do you feel energized after spending time with them, or do you feel tired and drained?
- Do they respect your boundaries and needs, or do they help bring your deepest fears and insecurities to the surface?
Every single person is either helping you get on or off of your Wheel of Fear, and every person in your life plays a role in your Fearless journey.
I realized this the hard way when I quit drinking. I quickly found out just how many people in my life were people I drank with, partied with, complained with, or put up with because I was too drunk to notice all they were taking from me.
It’s up to you to determine if spending time with someone keeps you on your Wheel of Fear or helps you live the life your soul intended.™
“Resist the temptation to compare yourself to the best you think you ever were.” - Rhonda Britten
It’s human nature to idealize the past and look at it through heart-shaped glasses—after all, growing older isn’t easy!
Weren’t things so much better when you looked a certain way?
When you could eat anything and not gain a pound?
When you could go for a jog without even breaking a sweat?
But folks, comparing yourself to the most idealized version of your past keeps you trapped there. Think about all you’ve learned on your journey. There are so many things you can do now and that you know now that were not part of your so-called “best”.
Show yourself some compassion and embrace the present!
“Beating yourself up will never motivate you to change.” - Rhonda Britten
Think about your self-talk. When you make a mistake (which we all do!), do you take a deep breath, treat yourself with compassion, and give yourself words of encouragement? Or do you tell yourself you’re bad and will never succeed? Do you tear yourself down or build yourself up?
Friends, I get it. I tore myself down for decades. I didn’t think I had it in me to change, to move on from my dependency on alcohol, to forgive my father for murdering my mother and himself, to forgive myself for not protecting her.
I was in a downward spiral because I was constantly telling myself I couldn’t do it, that I was incapable of change.
But I was wrong. I was strong enough. I am strong enough. And so are you! Cut out the negative self-talk because it’s one of the biggest things standing in the way of living the life your soul intended.
Building yourself up and inspiring yourself is how to make positive, lasting changes to your life, wellbeing, and success.
“Your ability to embrace, process, and move through loss is a sign of how willing you are to love.” - Rhonda Britten
Loss of any kind is incredibly painful, from losing your job to breaking up with a partner to losing your pet to the death of someone you deeply care about.
Working through loss is a long, long journey. But it’s your ability to embrace the process that reveals how willing you are to love. The reason it’s so painful and so difficult is because of the immensity of your love for that thing, dream, pet, or person that is gone.
Know that while the pain is very real, it represents your love.
“Nothing matters more than your devotion to your soul.” - Rhonda Britten
Your soul is the essence of who you are. It is your absolute truth. It helps you follow your dreams and live the life that was meant for you. (At Fearless Living, we call that living the life your soul intended.™)
What could matter more than being true to yourself and following the path your soul was born to follow?
“Forgiveness is never for the other people involved or for the situation itself. It is always for you.” - Rhonda Britten
This is a big one. For me, it was one of the hardest lessons I ever learned about forgiveness.
I bet when you think of forgiveness, you think of letting someone off the hook for their bad behavior. That’s the way I saw it for a huge part of my life. How was I supposed to forgive my father for murdering my mother in front of me?
But folks, I was thinking about forgiveness all wrong. Forgiveness is about YOU. It’s about letting go and moving forward without the crushing weight of anger, resentment, and shame. Forgiveness is not about telling someone who hurt you that everything is fine now. It’s about setting your own soul free.
“No one’s love is worth your self-respect.” - Rhonda Britten
You want to be loved. We ALL want to be loved. It’s part of our DNA! But love shouldn’t come with a price tag—especially when that price is your self-respect.
The relationship you have with yourself is the most important relationship of all. If someone is keeping you stuck on the Wheel of Fear, it’s time to move on.
Clear boundaries are essential to any healthy relationship. Take time to figure out what yours are and what the consequences are for abusing those boundaries.
If you’re struggling with a toxic relationship, I encourage you to read my guide on How to Fix a Toxic Relationship — Is It Possible?
“Commit to the process, and the results will take care of themselves.” - Rhonda Britten
Success is a journey. If you’re so caught up on where you want to be one day, you’ll never enjoy where you are right now and the beautiful process that will get you where you want to go.
Commit to the life your soul intended by showing up for yourself every day. That doesn't mean having a perfect day every day; it means being WILLING.
Are you WILLING to commit to the process?
Are you WILLING to take risks?
Are you WILLING to show yourself compassion?
If you are WILLING and continue to show up for yourself, the results will take care of themselves.
“Expectations are premeditated resentments.” - Rhonda Britten
Putting so many expectations on yourself only sets you up for failure. And failure leads to plenty of resentment.
The goal isn’t perfection; it’s progress. Set goals for yourself and take it one step at a time, even if sometimes that means one step forward and two steps back.
“What if your desire to be perfect is keeping you from being who you were born to be?” - Rhonda Britten
Living the life your soul intended is about taking risks and being bold. It’s about taking chances and making mistakes. But if your fear of failure keeps you from ever taking a chance because you might make a mistake, you could miss out on your true purpose.
I would not be where I am today without taking some major risks and making some big mistakes. But the thing about our so-called “mistakes” is we would never learn without them. Your “mistakes” and “failures” are lessons that teach you about who you are. If you’re obsessed with being perfect in other people’s eyes, it means you’re not listening to your soul; you’re listening to fear.
“It’s perfection or connection—you can’t have both.” - Rhonda Britten
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: No one is perfect. We have all felt shame and regret and experienced things we don’t want anyone to know about because then they might judge us.
Somehow, we conveniently forget that other people are on their own journey and going through many of the turbulent emotions and experiences that we are. While we may want to keep things hidden, it’s this vulnerability that connects us.
Pretending that your life is perfect isolates you and prevents people from wanting to form a connection with you. How could they possibly relate to someone who is so perfect?
No one is superhuman and free of difficult emotions or fumbles. Perfection is not what real life really looks like.
Constantly pretending that you’re perfect and strong is tiring. It also makes you miss out on close relationships.
You can’t be perfect and connect with people.
It’s perfection or connection; you can’t have both.
Even though being open and vulnerable with someone is scary, it’s the best way to strengthen your bond. Leave your perfection at the door so you can focus on connection.
“Small actions, when added together, make for big changes.” - Rhonda Britten
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your big, wonderful dreams won’t happen overnight. It may not be exciting or dramatic, but taking things one day at a time and committing to the essence of who you are is the only way to achieve true success.
“Sometimes moving forward feels like you’re moving backward.” - Rhonda Britten
Progress doesn’t happen in a straight line. There are zigs and zags and sometimes you’ve got to go all the way back and retrace your steps.
And that’s OKAY. It happens to all of us.
It may be frustrating, but always remember the most important thing you do is what you do next. Stay the course and trust in the process.
“Fear is the doorway to freedom.” - Rhonda Britten
We all want to run from fear, ignore it completely, or push it deep down inside of us. But that’s what gives fear its power. Ignoring fear doesn’t make it go away. It only makes it worse. And soon, it will be in control, guiding your decisions and keeping you in a cage of your own making.
Freedom doesn’t come from running away or escaping your fear—it comes from acknowledging and understanding it.
I discuss how to name, accept, and work through the most common fears in my Fear series. Try starting here: Fear Series: How to Overcome Your Fear of Being Judged.
“Be loving and the love in your life will increase.” - Rhonda Britten
Putting love out into the world is the best way to receive more of it. Be loving to yourself, your friends, your family, and people you don’t even know.
Of course, this doesn’t mean at the expense of your own boundaries and needs. These come first. But once you have your boundaries set and feel safe yourself, let all the love you have out.
A gratitude journal or random acts of kindness is a great place to start. If you’re feeling love for someone in your life, reach out and tell them—even if it feels like a risk. How can you brighten up someone’s day today?
“Excuses excuse you from fulfilling your potential.” - Rhonda Britten
Excuses excuse your potential. They let you off the hook.
That’s because they are so powerful. They feel real.
No money in the bank feels real. Lacking love in your life feels real. And this makes us get really defensive.
Excuses make us say “you don't understand” to someone who pushes back.
“You don't understand me. You don't know where I’m coming from. You don't know what I’ve been through”
Show yourself compassion, but don’t let yourself off the hook so easily. If you allow excuses to rule your life, you will never discover your potential.
“Do not wait for others to love you; you must decide to love yourself.” - Rhonda Britten
Self-love is the best gift you could ever give yourself. It means being able to feel secure from the inside out without depending on external circumstances.
If you don’t have the security of self-love, it means you’re seeking that security from other people, which means doing everything you can to be perfect in someone else’s eyes—and friends, we all know how that works out!
Love yourself and show yourself compassion. You have the capacity to love yourself inside and out through practicing self-care, setting boundaries, and owning your feelings.
I have a TON to say about self-love—too much for this article. Learn more with my guide on How To Love Yourself: 7 Self-Love Tips You’ll Love.
“Self-confidence is the result of taking risks.” - Rhonda Britten
If you never take a risk, you won’t believe you’re capable of it. After all, where’s the proof? How do you know you’ll succeed if you’ve never taken a risk? How can you believe in yourself when you’ve never tried?
The more risks you take, and the more outside of your comfort zone you step, the more confident you will feel. Even if the risk doesn’t pan out the way you imagined, you’ll still build upon your experiences and learn valuable lessons along the way.
