These are the best years of our lives, or so they say...but being 20-something in 2017 isn't always easy. Here are eleven quotes I think everyone in their twenties need to read at least once!

1. Mandy Hale

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong."

2. Zulu Proverb

"He that forgives gains victory."

3. Anonymous

4. Nathan W. Morris

"Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It's your masterpiece after all."

5. Ritu Ghatourey

"Your age doesn't define your maturity, your grades don't define your intellect, and rumors don't define who you are."

6. Unknown

"Be real, be yourself, be unique, be true, be honest, be humble, be happy."

7. Alan Watts

8. Michelle K

"You have more to do than be weighed down by pretty or beautiful. You are a fiery heart and a wicked brain. Do not let your soul be defined by its shell."

9. Glennon Melton

"That's how you can tell you're filling yourself with the wrong things. You use a lot of energy, and in the end, you feel emptier and less comfortable than ever."

10. Osho

11. Charlotte Eriksson

"Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine."

Sending you all my love today and always.
