17 Quotes To Live By

Life can be incredibly difficult at times, especially on the really bad days. It's on those bad days, the days where you can't find a reason to keep trying, that you want to call it quits and give up. No day is ever the day to give up. On these days, refer to the following quotes as a small reminder to be yourself and to keep going.

1. "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced." ~Soren Kierkegaard

2. "Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward." ~C.S. Lewis

4. "Live in such a way that if someone spoke badly of you, no one would believe it." ~Unknown

5. "Nothing can dim the light that shines from within." ~Maya Angelou

6. "Don't look back. You're not going that way." ~Unknown

7. "The greater the storm the brighter the rainbow." ~Unknown

8. "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist." ~Oscar Wilde

9. "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." ~Walt Disney

10. "If "Plan A" doesn't work, the alphabet has 25 more letters." ~Unknown

11. "Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters." ~John Green

12. "The temptation to quit will be the greatest just before you are about to succeed." ~Chinese Proverb

13. "It always seems impossible until it's done." ~Unknown

14. "Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." ~Oprah Winfrey

15. "Every flower must grow through dirt." ~Unknown

16. "Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be." ~Rick Warren

17. "If you always put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." ~Bruce Lee.

As Shia LaBeouf would say, "Don't let your dreams be dreams!"

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.

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.
