Kelly Clarkson needs to put this motto on a billboard. 

The songstress and daytime talk show host delivered a major dose of self-empowerment to Twitter on Sunday night while echoing a tweet from Valerie Bertinelli

The situation began on Twitter when Food Network Kitchen promoted the TV personality's upcoming live appearance on the Food Network Kitchen's app. Bertinelli took notice of a tweeted response that read, "Awwww, so chubby," 

"Wow. Someone is always there to remind me to tidy up my negative thoughts some more," she tweeted along with a screenshot of the comment. "Thank you for reminding me I'm so much more than my body. Have a blessed day."

Then, Clarkson weighed in with another boost of positivity. "True power is recognizing the projection of others negativity & punching it square n the face w/all the positive, remarkable, intelligent, beautiful light that seeps from ur pores," the performer tweeted. "Pity people that speak ill of others because while some of us r dancing, the others r too afraid."

In 2017, someone tweeted,  "You're fat" at the American Idol champion. 

Her response? "....and still f&%king awesome."
