6 Inspirational Quotes To Remind You To Just Go For It

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, to "go for it" means "to do anything you have to in order to get something".

1. Just Do It.

Starting off with a staple from the beloved athletic brand, Nike. Did you know they're extremely successful? You should probably listen to them!

2. Fortune favors the bold.

A Latin proverb reminds us that putting ourselves out there may lead the universe to reward us (if you believe in that type of thing). To me, this means that being bold results in favorable outcomes more often than if we were to not be so bold.

3. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Thank you, Wayne Gretzky. I like to remind myself of this often. If you don't go to the interview, you'll never get the job. Maybe you don't think you can get it, but the only way to find out for sure is to shoot your shot — you're probably selling yourself short anyway.

4. The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you're not going to stay where you are.

Shoutout to J.P. Morgan on this one. The only way to move is forward. Do what it takes to get to your end goal.

5. If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can't hear them anymore.

Here, Michele Ruiz reminds us that our haters are our biggest motivators, and you can't prove them wrong unless you just go for it!

6. You Only Live Once

This is my personal favorite. I remember in middle school my signature for my texts on my slide phone was just "YOLO" at one point. Oddly enough, 2020 has inspired me to truly embrace what I like to call, the "yolo mentality". I have also been trying to push this on all of my friends. Admittedly, I am not very good at it. But it's true! You only get one life, what are you going to do with it? When you're 80 and you look back at this time in your life will you have regrets? Or will you be grateful that you just went for it?

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.
