10 Motivating Quotes to Empower You Through This Week

Back to school, or back to work, either way vacation has ended for most of us. Between new professors, team projects and the inevitable midterms slowly creeping closer, we could all need some motivation. Here's 10 quotes to help you stay on track this semester and stay motivated!

Life begins when you take the first step towards a positive change. One small goal will turn into one small achievement and before you know it you've reached your dream with some blood, sweat, and tears along the way.

Everyday is a new chance to begin a journey or chase your dream. Stop delaying your vision by postponing your actions to tomorrow. The sooner you start your journey, the sooner you'll reach your goal.

No one said your goal has to be perfection. Goals are whatever you choose them to be. Don't give up if the results aren't perfect, the important point is that you made a choice to get out of your comfort zone and work towards a better you!

Life is merely your situation, so don't let it be your decision maker. Only you have the power to change your life. Personal initiative to take control and responsibility over your current circumstances is what is going to lead to the courage to create a world where you can thrive.

Your comfort zone is just that: comfortable. There's going to be experiences that test your personal strength. Sometimes life has to fall apart in order to be pieced together into a bigger and better picture. Endings are not failures or where your journey stops, endings are just the cliffhanger that propels you into the next chapter of your life.

Your fire is the passion inside you that keeps you going. Whether it is a dream, an ambition, a person or just proving the world wrong, let the fire ignite your ambition and light your journey along the way.

No matter what your past is, only you have the power to control your tomorrows. Your experiences and history is what makes you uniquely you. So embrace it, because there is no one else in this world who has walked your same path.

Kind words go a long way. One heartfelt compliment to a stranger can change their day and impact their life in a profound way. Give love into the world and the world will give love back.

If you're waiting to feel comfortable to make a big move and start your journey to a new and better you, then that journey will never start. Getting out of your comfort zone is where you will find new and amazing life shaping experiences. Take a leap of faith.


Life is not some exam where every mistake is more points off. Mistakes are chances to learn, they are paths and courses of actions that didn't get you to where you wanted to be, but got you somewhere nonetheless. Use your mistakes as your compass, and reorient yourself to see the situation in a new direction. A change perspective can make all the difference.

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.
