10 Positive Quotes To Live By

Quotes always have a way of inspiring you, changing your thinking, or simply putting a smile on your face. I have always been obsessed with quotes and whenever I felt down, I would look up a bunch to lift me up. Here are a few I believe that can bring positivity and light into your life just like it did to me.

1. “Happiness is not found in things you possess, but in what you have the courage to release.” -Nathaniel Hawthorne

Happiness is found in what you put into the world, the love and positivity that will make your heart full. No matter what you may possess, it will never fill what makes your soul happy.

2. “Be curious, not judgemental.” -Walt Whitman

I should even pay more attention to this quote, judging someone should never be an option. You don't know what they are going through or what struggles they face. Who are we to judge them for their actions?

3. "Hold up your head! You were not made for failure, you were made for victory. Go forward with joyful confidence." -George Eliot

Failure is going to happen but let it inspire you instead of bringing you down. Keep marching on.

4. "You do realize that some of the best moments of your life haven't even happened yet, right?" -Lalah Delia

When you feel like your life has been a mess, this quote should reassure you. The storm will pass and the best is yet to come.

5. "When you are joyful when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you." -Shannon L. Alder

Being positive every day is near to impossible, but having your majority of days be seen even with a bit more of light can have the biggest impact. Attracting people who have that similar characteristic.

6. "You are the sum total of everything you have ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot--it's all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive." -Maya Angelou

Everything you experience in your life has made you who you are today. From the decisions you make to the changes you make in yourself, you have the power to make it positive.

7. "To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you." -Tony Dorsett

Find that passion of yours and stick with it. It may not be approved by others but at the end of the day, you are living your life. Not them. So live it the way you want to live it and don't let others hinder you from your dreams.

8. "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." -Mary Engelbreit

There are certain cards we are dealt with in life and sometimes they can't be changed, no matter how much you would like them to. When it comes to those matters, you have to see the situation in a different perspective. How could you help someone in the future who may go through that same thing?

9. "Kindness makes you the most beautiful person in the world, no matter what you look like." -Unknown

Kindness comes from the soul. It radiates and spreads to those around like quickfire. It outstands any physical appearance because it comes from your heart.

10. "It's nice to be nice." -Frank Burns

My amazing grandfather used to say this all the time. It holds the truth, being nice is nice. Not only do you feel good being nice to another but you are spreading that positivity effortlessly to another person who can carry that on.

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.
