With all of the negativity that women receive, instead of fighting all the time, we need to find another way to silently stand up for ourselves. We need to be inspired by powerful women that are trying to make a positive impact on our society and we need to use that to fuel our feelings and passions. Here are some inspirational quotes from some powerful women:

- “Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts…. good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don’t hurt. They’re not painful.
