Every now and then it is nice to stop and come to terms with our lives. However busy they might be, it's always good to stop and recollect on the good things that have come your way. One way of doing this, is to inspire ourselves, so we can have a bright outlook on life. Now here's another list of motivational quotes to get you through the day.

1. “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” - Dr. Seuss

Never let anyone control what you think or say.

2. "Don't mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness." - Unknown Author

Just because someone is passive, doesn't give you the right to treat them as such.

3. "Life's too mysterious to take too serious." -Mary Engelbreit

Everyday is an adventure! With new doors to be opened, that will take up to unknown possibilities.

4. "It's OK to not be OK, as long as you don't stay that way." -Anonymous

Being OK is OK.

5. "Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more so that we may fear less." -Marie Curie

Knowledge is our greatest weapon. And it is only when we use this power, will our lives be improved.

6. “You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand! You say no! You have the guts to do what’s right, even when everyone else just runs away." - Rose Tyler (Doctor Who)

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

7. "If I am the main character of my own story, you're going to have some chapters that are rough weather and that’s great because it makes for a great story, you just have to know that your going to come out better on the other side of that storm… Whatever it may be, and your gonna come out of it wiser than when you started." - Thomas Sanders

Many of us face challenges in our everyday lives that we contemplate if it's really worth the effort. School, relationships, articles.... are some of those decisions we must make. But no matter what happens, just remember that whatever the outcome, life will move on and you will become stronger.

8. T: "What do you all do to relax after a rough day?" P: "Eat a cookie. And if I'm feeling dangerous... eat a second cookie." -Patton (Sander Sides)

With all the work and effort you have put in this last week, don't forget to reward yourself with a sweet treat! (Or maybe two cookies?)

9. "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller

Empathy goes a long way.

10. "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's whats on the inside that counts.

11. It does not matter how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get up. -Vince Lombardi

If you don't succeed, then try until your legs gets tired. And then try some more after a nice break.

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.

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.
