Bethenny Frankel Quotes


Never assume someone is smarter than you. (Meaning)

Life is an obstacle course. You succeed at one thing and then you move on to the next. When an obstacle is tough, you try harder. When an obstacle is insurmountable, you change course. But you never sit down and refuse to finish.

All I ever wanted to do was be able to pay my rent.

It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks of your life. All that matters is what you think of it, and what you decide to make of it.

No matter where you are right now, no matter far along you are on your own path, don't wait to "have it all" to celebrate. You're never going to figure it all out.

Life should be punctuated with celebrations and you have to build them into your time because being happy isn't easy.

You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It's not fair to them.

The business of being happy requires making a conscious choice. People think being happy will just happen to them someday, if only they do this or that right. But it doesn't - you have to choose it. You choose happiness, you don't wait for it to choose you.

New York City is my playground.

Love yourself and don't settle for less than what you deserve.

You choose happiness. You don't wait for it to choose you.

Taste everything, eat nothing.

If happiness were easy, everybody would feel it all the time, and it wouldn't seem like such an elusive prize.

Make the most of every moment. Get excited about every little thing. Why not? Why not have your wonderful moment of excited anticipation? Why not be happy NOW?

Every moment is precious and although sometimes I struggle to see it, I see it more and more every day.

Be independent and don't try to think someone is going to save you or look to someone else to make you happy or look to someone else to complete you.

You're alone in your ideas, because you're the only one who knows what's possible.

I think that if you don't enjoy doing something you are not going to be good at it.

Yoga is a gift that you give yourself.

Yoga has so many different practices. I don't really enjoy Ashtanga. I don't really enjoy Bikram because I don't like knowing what's coming.

Food is not your best friend or enemy.

If you start giving your kids anxiety about food, it's going to last a lifetime. Moms have to lead by example. Don't say, "Oh, my jeans don't fit," or "Oh, I was bad." No diets. Nothing like that.

It's hard to wind down, but then I beat myself up because I have a tense back.

The only way I'm interested in having a baby is the old-fashioned way.

I'm one of those people who have everything in their purses.

My biggest 'don't' from the past? Picking my face!

Let's be clear, I'm a strong woman.

Life is hopefully long, so I don't know what the future will bring.

My business doesn't keep me warm at night.

Baby wipes are great for everything! For wiping babies' butts, as an eye-makeup remover, to wipe the counter, to clean my hands at the airport, just everything.

Thinking about women who can't have their own baby, even the first baby, I'm really lucky.
