12 Quotes That Will Inspire You To Kick Today's Butt

Sometimes I wake up in the morning ready to knock down every door and take out any to-do list. I'm energized and on my A-game.

Well, today was not that day. Rather than get up out of bed on the wrong side, I rolled back over and hit the snooze button ten more times in an attempt to get up on the right side of the bed. The next thing I knew, it was 11 a.m. and I had yet to take the dog out or go on that morning walk I've been promising myself for the past month. I did my morning routine and got on Pinterest. I saw a quote that changed my day and hopefully my week!

"Wake up an hour earlier to live an hour longer."

Simple, but full of impact. With that, I leave you with these 12 quotes that will inspire you to get on your grind and exercise your mind!

1. "Be so good they can't ignore you." - Steve Martin


2. "Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder." - Rumi


3. "Chill out."

Not sure who actually said this first, but it's a good reminder. I have to come back to this one multiple times a day, sometimes.)


4. "Throw me to the wolves and I will come back leading the pack." - Lisa Vanderpump



5. "Roll with the punches." - Unknown



6. "I used to hope that you'd bring me flowers. Now I plant my own." - Rachel Wolchin


7. "Nothing can dim the light that shines from within." - Maya Angelou

12. "I'm so happy today."

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.

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.
