15 Life-Changing Quotes Everyone Needs
Quote Fancy

Everyone loves quotes. Whether they’re for motivation or just some really cute ones about love, everyone has seen and applied them to their life at some point. However, there are the unique few that can be considered "life-changing" as they help one to obtain a totally new perspective on all kinds of events and personal experiences. Here are some that have definitely changed my life for the better, and I know they could help you too:

“If it’s important to you, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.” - Ryan Blair


“We accept the love we think we deserve.” - Stephen Chbosky


"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." - Robert Frost


“Let’s go invent tomorrow instead of worrying about what happened yesterday.” – Steve Jobs



“What would you do if you weren’t afraid?” - Sheryl Sandberg


“The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion." - Paulo Coelho


“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” - Dr. Seuss


“Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.” - Mark Twain


“If you don't build your dream, someone will hire you to help build theirs." - Tony Gaskins


"Choose a job you love and you will never work a day in your life." - Confucius


"A ship is safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are for." - William G.T. Shedd


“It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln



“Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have.” - Zig Ziglar


“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” – Albert Einstein



“There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” - Nelson Mandela

These quotes are all short and to-the-point, but that does not mean they are any less powerful. Words are amazing things that can convey how we feel through works of poetry and music. These quotes are tools that, if implemented, can truly change someone’s life, and if these are words that you needed to hear, let them change you into the person you truly do want to become.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
