Quote by Oprah Winfrey, "O Magazine", Feb

Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.

Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow other

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of embracing and expressing all aspects of oneself. It suggests that suppressing parts of our identity or diminishing ourselves to please others goes against our inherent nature. By doing so, we disregard the unique qualities and potential that our creator (whether interpreted as a higher power or simply our own natural self) bestowed upon us. In this sense, not fully embracing our true selves can be seen as disregarding the "owner's manual" that is meant to guide us and ultimately disrupts our authentic design.

In 1950, when the Giants signed me, they gave me $15,000. I bought a 1950 Mercury. I couldn't drive, but I had it in the parking lot there, and everybody that could drive would drive the car. So it was like a community thing.
