9 Quotes To Live Your Life By
Leonid Afremov

There are thousands of quotes that can pertain to a person's life but here are some that really impacted me and that I believe are good quotes to live by.

1. "Why fit in, when you were born to stand out"

Good ole' Dr. Seuss always gives those inspirational words surrounded by "1 fish, 2 fish, red fish, blue fish" and "I do not like green eggs and ham." Don't live your life like everyone else, be you because no one else can be. YOU are extraordinary and unique and you should flaunt that.

2. "Don't fashion me into a maiden that needs saving from a dragon. I am the dragon, and I will eat you whole"

Maybe it's the nerd in me that loves this quote but i also think that it's a strong quote for anyone to live by. You are strong and you don't need saving from those who think you are weak.

3. "Darkness must pass, a new day will come and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer"

Life isn't perfect, there are good days and bad, but the good ones always come and after a bad one they always seem better. Don't worry if you have a bad day because the next may be the best day you've had.

4. "Trust your heart if the seas catch fire, live by love though the stars walk backward"

This E.E. Cummings quote can seem confusing at first. But it's really just saying that no matter how chaotic your life gets just follow your heart as its more consistent than the sea and the stars.

5. "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light"

Harry Potter quotes will forever be relevant to my life and this one especially. No matter how bad life can get, you have the power to change it or at least change your outlook on it.

6. "You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."

Let your crazy out once in a while, take it for a walk or to the zoo and don't forget to feed it cause it gets cranky. Everyone has a little crazy in them and it can be the part of a person so don't ever lose it.

7. "Just keep swimming"

No matter how much life can drag you down you just gotta keep going. Push through the struggles and you will come out stronger than ever.

8. "I'm not crazy, my reality is just different from yours"

Inspiring words from the Cheshire Cat that really just mean that people may not completely understand you but that's okay because you are the best version of yourself and you are awesomely unique.

9. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already; we have the power to imagine better"

This quote from J.K. Rowling is really inspiring to me. Don't let yourself believe that you can't change world because you can. Like Gandalf said "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.


There are so many inspirational quotes that can relate to your life and I hope that after reading this that you found some new ones to inspire your life.

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. 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.
