Success starts with believing in yourself ... before anyone else can.
By Emily Ratay — Written on Sep 15, 2016
There is something to be said for people who are able to make a difference in your life with just a few words at a time. People like Vex King — poet and positive inspiration on Instagram with a heck of a following — who make it their job to bring purpose and optimism to others' lives.
Vex King is an entrepreneur and a writer, looking to bring spirituality and positivity to his work with the Bon Vita brand as owner and founder, as well as to those who follow his work on Instagram and his website. He believes that a good attitude is the key to rising to your full potential and achieving success.
Instead of just a classifying himself as a life coach, Vex King also describes himself as a Mind Coach who asks for "Good Vibes Only" and aims to make his followers think about life with a more positive mindset. What's not to like about that?
On his Instagram page, he writes about life and how trusting the Universe is just as important as making an effort to getting what you want in life.
Whether you are in a good place in life or a not-so-good one, King's words are perfect for a pick-me-up when you are feeling down on yourself or when you need that extra boost to keep you motivated all day.
You might not know it already, but taking care of your spiritual and emotional health is just as vital as taking care of your physical and mental self. You've heard this before, but you can't expect others to be happy with you until you're happy with yourself FIRST.
We love Vex King's words because they make us feel important and worthy of being successful. Sometimes, stress gets the better of us and we need someone around to tell us it's going to get better. He is that person cheering for you on the sidelines, reminding you that life might get you down, but that shouldn't stop you from believing in yourself.
If you're searching for the best quotes and memes to share with the people you love (or just want to feel inspired yourself) ... look no further! From the sweetest love quotes, inspirational sayings, and hilarious friendship truths, we've got you covered.

"If someone wants to be in your life, they will make an effort. If they really want to see you, they will make time. If they tell you that you're special, they'll be consistent with their actions. You can tell a lot about how much a person values you by the way they treat you." —@VexKing

"It's better to stay single or step out of a relationship that doesn't fulfill you on every level. Yes, you might miss them and the memories you created, but once you meet someone that just gets you and brings out the best in you, you'll be able to create the greatest memories of all." —@VexKing

"Good men and women do exist but sometimes you have to stop focusing on what's wrong with them and start looking for what's right. They might not be perfect, but nor are you. Stop keeping your expectations so high; especially when you don't meet those expectations yourself." —@VexKing
