To any and all Swifties out there, Taylor is so much more than just a singer. She is an inspirational woman who encourages everyone to avidly pursue their dreams, and to always stand strong.
1. “No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.”
2. “Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst. Be that fearless girl, the one who would dare to do anything. Be that independent girl who didn’t need a man. Be that girl who never backed down.”
3. “Giving up doesn't always mean you’re weak. Sometimes you’re just strong enough to let go.”
4. “You and I both know there’s got to be some greater storyline for you than 'girl gets heart broken, was sad forever.' I think a nice one would be 'girl gets heart broken, was sad for a while but in her heartbreak she found freedom, friends, and the ability to look back and laugh at all she’d learned.'”
5. "We don't need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful."
6. "Being fearless isn't being 100 percent not fearful; it's being terrified but you jump anyway."
7. “When I have bad days that just won’t let up, I look in the mirror and remind myself of what I am and what I’m not. I am not my mistakes.”
8. "Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again… even though every time you've tried before you've lost."
9. "Life isn't about how to survive the storm, it's about how to dance in the rain."
10. “There are two ways you can go with pain. You can let it destroy you, or you can use it as fuel to drive you: to dream bigger, to work harder.”
11. “Just be yourself, there is no one better.”
12. “If you’re lucky enough to be different from everyone else, never change.”
13. “I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there, and that will be greatest feeling in the world.”
