11 Quotes To Give You The Extra Boost You Need
PEXELS

The power of a quote can instantly change someone's life. It's crazy to think about how much power one quote has. After asking my friends what quotes stick with them, I realized that every single person has at least one they have memorized. Before you read on, think about any quote. You can probably think of at least one or two. A common one that most of my friends memorized is, "Be yourself, everyone else is taken." Powerful words from the man himself, Oscar Wilde. Why do these quotes stick with us so much? In my opinion, quotes gives us hope, something to think about, and it even becomes a mantra, a way of living. Even something small like, "don't lie," sticks with us. My mom hounds me with that all the time, and to this day I will not lie.

Here are 11 quotes to give you the extra boost you need today:

1. "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney
2. "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." - Dolly Parton
3. "It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves." - Edmund Hillary

4. "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein

5. "Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out." - Edwin Markum

6. "Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." - Goethe

7. "Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary." - Uta Hagen

8. "Have faith in yourself and in the future." - Ted Kennedy

9. "Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made." - Orison Sweet Marden

10. "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." - Christian D. Larson

11. "Who says, who says, you can't be superman" - Hannah Montana

P.S. You got this dude.

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.

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.
