Viola Davis: The only advice I ever gave my daughter

Viola Davis: The only advice I ever gave my daughter

In a recent interview, American actress Viola Davis shared the advice she always gives her daughter Genesis.

Let me say this. Beauty has nothing to do with behavior.

Ok, let me say it one more time. Beauty has nothing to do with behavior.

Beauty may be about celebrity, but not about behavior.

Your task is to create the human being. And not every human being is on magazine covers.

What I tell my daughter is: Genesis, you are the love of your life. You need to start a deep love story with yourself right now. Connecting with your inner voice, being aware of when associations enter and exit your life. What he likes, what he doesn't like. What touches your boundaries, what makes you feel bad. And give importance to it.

This is the seed upon which everything flourishes.

No one told me this. No one told me that I was the love of my life.

I just didn't count myself. If I've had to lower myself to build a relationship, I've lowered myself.

If I had to sacrifice my needs for others – this is an important issue for women – we are considered strong when we sacrifice our needs for others.

I told him

Genesis, no, don't.

You are the love of your life. You and only you.

I think that pretty much covers everything.
