5 Quotes For Navigating Life
Dan Duff Photography

50 Cent once said "life is full of twists and turns". Here are five quotes to help you navigate through it all.

1. Everyone has their own unique journey.

"Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their own unique journey." - Daniell Koepke

2. "Self care is not selfish."

It's not. It never will be. Taking time out of the day to care for yourself can be both lifesaving and life-changing. As days progress, with news headlines getting more and more horrific, it's easy for one's mental health to deteriorate. Taking in so much toxicity can dampen one's spirit and alter their emotions. Take time FOR you. Care for your thoughts. Care for your health. It isn't selfish. It's a necessity.

3. "Focus on you, your goals. "

Comparison can prove to be a huge roadblock when navigating through life. If you let it consume you may find yourself into a couple of accidents. Avoid this by focusing on yourself and your goals. Just watch how much easier the ride will get.

4. "Be a better you."

"Be a better you, for you." - Sonya Teclai

When feeling alone but passionate about a decision, follow your heart and just do. While family and friends are vitally important, ourselves are who we'll always have. Be a better you, for you. Don't let anyone dictate how you go about bettering yourself. A better you makes for smooth navigation.

Finally, here's a bit of motivation for your the rest of your journey. Stay positive, stay inspired. Life will throw you curve balls. Some may knock you off the path. Others may increase your travel time. Regardless, it's up to you to create the best navigational guide for yourself. You've got this

5. "May the space between where I am and where I want to be inspire me." - Tracee Ellis Ross

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
