Lo and behold, here are 18 positive quotes for when you need encouragement. I hope you enjoy these and I hope they help. :)

1. "A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy.

2. "Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve." ~J.K. Rowling

3. "But the most beautiful things in life are not just things. They're people, places, memories, and pictures. They're feelings and moments and smiles and laughter."

4. "Don't chase people. Be an example. Attract them. Work hard and be yourself. The people who belong in your life will come find you and stay. Just do your thing."

5. "Don't wait until you've reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal."

6. "Every day is a fresh start."

11. "Not everyone believes in her and not everyone supports her, but her God goes with her and that's what sustains her." ~ Morgan Harper Nichols

12. "One day you will look back on this season and know that you are truly blessed, and not because you were perfect but because you found perfect grace in the worst of it." ~ Morgan Harper Nichols

13. "She's not confident because of what she's done, but because of what God has done in her." ~ Morgan Harper Nichols

14. "Staying positive doesn't mean you don't feel sad or angry sometimes; it means you keep on going anyway."

15. "Though the weight of the world tried to pull her into its bottomless sea, His Love was the raft that kept her from sinking. Wave after wave, He steadied her soul. Wave after wave, He made her whole." ~Morgan Harper Nichols

16. "We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day."

17. "You need to ignore what everyone else is doing and achieving. Your life is about breaking your own limits and outgrowing yourself to live your best life. You are not in competition with anyone else. Plan to outdo your past, not other people."

18. "Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth."

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.

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.
