15 Shonda Rhimes Quotes To Start 2019 Like A Girl Boss

In This Article:

Guilty as charged.

I am probably one the the world's most obsessive quote lover. But hey, at least I own up to it! I mean, after all, they are pretty great. Through breakups, pre-midlife crisis and everything in between, there will always be a quote that makes the situation a little better. These quotes are no different. They encourage me to take action and believe in my power. They make me want to become the girl boss I have always dreamed of being.

Here's to the new year:

"You can waste your life drawing lines, or you can live your life crossing them."

"Happiness comes from living as you need to, as you want to. Happiness comes from being who you really are instead of who you think you're supposed to be."

"I am smart, I am talented, I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way and I work really, really hard. Don't call me lucky. Call me a badass."

"One. Word. No. No is a powerful word. Said clearly, strongly, and with enough frequency and force, it can alter the course of history."

"I think a lot of people dream. And while they are busy dreaming, the really happy people, the really successful people, the really interesting, powerful, engaged people... are busy doing."

"Don't sit at home waiting for the magical opportunity. Who are you? Prince William? No. Get a job. Go to work. Do something until you can do something else."

"Who you are today- that's who you are. Be brave. Be amazing. Be worthy."

"Stand up in front of people. Let them see you. Speak. Be heard. You take it in."

"Dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change."

"You just have to keep moving forward. You just have to keep doing something. Seizing the next opportunity, staying open to trying something new."

"Perfect is boring."

"If I don't poke my head out of my shell and show people who I am, all anyone will ever think is I am in my shell."

"Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He is very dreamy. But he is not the sun. You are."

"When you feel the need to apologize or explain who you are, it means the voice in your head is telling you the wrong story. Wipe the Slate Clean. And rewrite it. No fairy tales. Be your own narrator. And go for a happy ending."

"Yes to everything scary. Yes to everything that takes me out of my comfort zone. Yes to everything that feels like it might be crazy. Yes to everything that feels out of character. Yes to everything that feels goofy. Yes to everything."

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.
