11 Quotes To Give You The Extra Boost You Need
PEXELS

The power of a quote can instantly change someone's life. It's crazy to think about how much power one quote has. After asking my friends what quotes stick with them, I realized that every single person has at least one they have memorized. Before you read on, think about any quote. You can probably think of at least one or two. A common one that most of my friends memorized is, "Be yourself, everyone else is taken." Powerful words from the man himself, Oscar Wilde. Why do these quotes stick with us so much? In my opinion, quotes gives us hope, something to think about, and it even becomes a mantra, a way of living. Even something small like, "don't lie," sticks with us. My mom hounds me with that all the time, and to this day I will not lie.

Here are 11 quotes to give you the extra boost you need today:

1. "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney
2. "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." - Dolly Parton
3. "It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves." - Edmund Hillary

4. "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity." - Albert Einstein

5. "Defeat may serve as well as victory to shake the soul and let the glory out." - Edwin Markum

6. "Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." - Goethe

7. "Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary." - Uta Hagen

8. "Have faith in yourself and in the future." - Ted Kennedy

9. "Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made." - Orison Sweet Marden

10. "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." - Christian D. Larson

11. "Who says, who says, you can't be superman" - Hannah Montana

P.S. You got this dude.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has.
