11 Quotes You May Need To Hear
Quote Fancy

Sometimes, we all need to hear something we did not know we needed to hear. Quotes are my favorite because there are so many good ones that can describe how you are feeling at any time. Here are 11 quotes you may need to hear.

1. Nothing in nature blooms all year long. Don't expect yourself to. -Unknown

I think this is important to remember, especially when you might be feeling a little upset because you couldn't accomplish something. It's okay to remember that you don't "bloom" all year long. Just relax and keep going.

2. It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you don't stop. -Confucius

Because not everyone goes at the same speed.

3. Don't confuse your path with your destination. Just because it's stormy now doesn't mean you aren't heading for sunshine. -Unknown

This is something to remember when you feel like everything is going against you.

4. A flower doesn't think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms. -Zen Shin

Stop looking and comparing yourself to others, and start doing what it is you want to do.

5. Have courage and be kind. -Cinderella

Two important traits someone can have.

6. You can't change the ocean or the weather, no matter how hard you try, so it's best to learn how to sail in all conditions. -Jimmy Dean

This is almost like going with the flow, but better because it's saying to adapt to all conditions, no matter how difficult.

7. Create a way, not an excuse. -Unknown

Stop making excuses and start doing the thing.

8. Go the extra mile. It's usually never crowded. -Unknown

This is one of my favorite quotes because it's true. You'll be surprised how rewarding it is to go the extra mile.

9. No one ever damaged their eyesight by looking on the bright side. -Unknown

Always think positively and look on the bright side.

10. Stop looking for happiness in the same place you lost it. -Unknown

This is important to remember because happiness cannot be found in the same place it was lost.

11. You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way. -Jennifer J. Freeman

Don't stand in the way of yourself while achieving your goals and dreams.


These are some of my favorite quotes that I love. I hope you did, too.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.
