There will be moments in your life where you're just having a bad day or you really just need a push to get you back on your feet. These quotes have helped motivate me on days where I needed that little extra kick to get me going, when I needed some reassurance, or when I needed a little pick-me-up:

1. If you’re going through hell, keep going.-Winston Churchill

2. If there's just one piece of advice I can give you, it's this--when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself in 10 years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot because the best things in life, they don't come free. –Meredith Grey "Grey’s Anatomy"

3. When life beats you down, never give up. Always keep fighting. -Jared Padalecki

4. Listen, smile, agree and then do whatever you were going to do anyway. -Robert Downey Jr.

5. Be strong in the moments where you want to be weak. -Jensen Ackles

6. Decide to be fine ‘til the end of the week. Make yourself smile because you’re alive and that’s your job. Then do it again the next week. -Supernatural

7. You never know what’s around the corner. It could be everything. Or it could be nothing. You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a mountain. -Tom Hiddleston

8. Don’t pressure yourself. Don’t worry about what others think you should do or what the societal “norm” is. Do what moves you and makes you smile and the “good” will follow. -Misha Collins

9. Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall. -Confucius

10. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit. -Aristotle

11. Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. Sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. -Vince Lombardi

12. Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people. -The Breakfast Club

13. Worry about loving yourself, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you. -Unknown

14. Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen. -Gossip Girl

15. Life’s not a spectator sport. If watchin’ is all you’re gonna do, then you’re gonna watch your life go by without ya. -The Hunchback of Notre Dame

16. Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and where you want to be. -Gossip Girl

17. Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up. -Dean Karnazes

18. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. - 1 Corinthians 9:24

19. When things don't go right, go left. -Lemony Snicket

20. There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. -Beverly Sills

21. Sometimes things will bend you,but trust me you'll be fine. I've been moving mountains that I once had to climb ,and life's not out to get you,despite the things you've been through. Because what you give is what you get, and it doesn't make sense to make do. -Gold Steps (Neck Deep)

22. You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. –Winnie the Pooh

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
