Being in your 20s is a crazy, but exciting, thing. You're no longer a teen, you can drink (if you're 21 and up), and you feel like this is where life begins. However, it's also an intimidating thing because your life is indeed beginning. You're in that in-between stage of being young, but also needing to get your sh*t together, too. There is so much to think about. What's my next step? What do I want to do with my life? What is my purpose? Why am I doing this? What impact will this have on my life in 20 more years? The questions go on and on, and it can be stressful. Here are 10 quotes that will help you get through the "20 years of life crisis."
1. "Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is." - Vince Lombardi
2. "Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
3. "You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you love -- who you really are. And have the courage to do that." - Oprah Winfrey
4. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill
5. "They can because they think they can." - Virgil
6. "The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done." - C. V White
7. "Either you run the day, or the day runs you." - Jim Rohn
8. "Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it." - Oprah
9."The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and perserverence." - Owen Feltham
10. "I slay." - Beyonce
You're going to fail, you're going to be confused, you're going to cry, you're going to be frustrated, but it'll all be worth it. Just because you're in your 20s doesn't mean you have life figured out, and that's OK. Just remember that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and in the words of Beyoncé, you slay. And don't you ever forget it.
