Words are fun -- you can put them together and say something that will be remembered for the rest of time. All the time, people put words together that are memorable and motivational. Here are my favorite quotes that encourage and remind me of different things every day.
1. "Life is hard. Wear a helmet."
2. "Never let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life."
3. "Life's a climb... but the view is great."
4. "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you will land among the stars."
5. "He is very dreamy. But he is not the sun...you are."
6. "Just put one foot in front of the other. Just get through the day."
7. "Always date the girl that has the messy bed, talks to dogs, crosses that one leg while driving and doesn’t match her socks. Trust me."
8. "I am beautifully broken, perfectly imperfect, beautiful in my flaws. Altogether I am a beautiful disaster."

11. "My only goal in life right now is to be happy. Genuinely, intensely and consistently happy, regardless of what that looks like to others."
12. "Accept the fact that you are not perfect and see how much easier it is to breathe."

17. People will promise to never leave you. They will. It’s okay to be sad when they do.
18. People will be mean to you; they will spread lies, call you names, and talk about you behind your back. Eventually, you will realize that it is petty and stupid and not worth your time. You’ll be right. Move on with your life.
19. There will always be someone prettier, smarter, funnier, or more popular than you. The beauty of it is that it isn’t a competition.
20. "Don't chase men. Chase your goals, because they won't wake up one day and say they don't love you anymore."
21. “Rihanna wouldn’t put up with your shit so neither will I.”
22. “I wonder how much of what weighs me down is not mine to carry.”
23. “You touched me and your fingerprints have never left my skin.”
24. “Being happy is a very personal thing -- and it really has nothing to do with anyone else.”

27. “A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.”
28. “And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”
29. “Always try your best to ignore your 2 a.m. feelings.”

Here's to life and here's to being motivated!
