10 Quotes I Live By Every Day

In This Article:

I promise you, these quotes will bring a little power and positivity to your everyday life. It is so essential to look back or have something on your rough days that will make you stronger, and I would have to say this definitely does that for me.

1. "If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased." - Katharine Hepburn

This quote really speaks volumes to me because at the end of the day, it is most important to make yourself happy. If you do this, it is all that really matters.

2. "There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - Paulo Coelho

I really love this quote and often find myself looking back at it because it is easy to go after anything as long as you are not scared to fail. The fear can often hold us back, but it is important to not let it.

3. "If you really want to do something, you'll find a way; if you don't, you'll find an excuse." - Jim Rohn

This quote is also super cool to me because if you really want to do something within your life, you will do whatever it takes to make sure that you get it done. Otherwise, you are just finding excuses and must not want it that badly.

4. "The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life." - Oprah Winfrey

I love this quote because only WE are in control as to how our life goes and what path we choose to follow. Although it is true that we cannot choose the things that happen to us, we can choose where we go from there.

5. "Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal." - Henry Ford

This quote goes out to all my go-getters. In life, when you have goals, nothing will deter you from being able to achieve them.

6. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss, I will always be grateful for this quote! Life is too short to be anything other than yourself.

7. "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure." - Colin Powell

Success is what we achieve when we work hard for it, and there are no secrets or special ways to get around it.

8. "Just remember: The people that say your dreams are impossible have already quit on theirs." - Grant Cardone

I love this quote because you should never let anyone stop you from living your life the way you deserve to!!!

9. "Wherever you are, be able there." - Jim Elliot

This quote is simple and that is probably why I love it so much, It is so important to just be in the moment in life because what comes before or after does not matter at that time.

10. "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." - Dolly Parton

Last but not least, it really is THAT simple. If you do not like the direction in which you are headed, then CHANGE. YOUR. DIRECTION. That's that.

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.
