10 Quotes I Live By Every Day

In This Article:

I promise you, these quotes will bring a little power and positivity to your everyday life. It is so essential to look back or have something on your rough days that will make you stronger, and I would have to say this definitely does that for me.

1. "If you always do what interests you, at least one person is pleased." - Katharine Hepburn

This quote really speaks volumes to me because at the end of the day, it is most important to make yourself happy. If you do this, it is all that really matters.

2. "There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." - Paulo Coelho

I really love this quote and often find myself looking back at it because it is easy to go after anything as long as you are not scared to fail. The fear can often hold us back, but it is important to not let it.

3. "If you really want to do something, you'll find a way; if you don't, you'll find an excuse." - Jim Rohn

This quote is also super cool to me because if you really want to do something within your life, you will do whatever it takes to make sure that you get it done. Otherwise, you are just finding excuses and must not want it that badly.

4. "The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life." - Oprah Winfrey

I love this quote because only WE are in control as to how our life goes and what path we choose to follow. Although it is true that we cannot choose the things that happen to us, we can choose where we go from there.

5. "Obstacles are those things you see when you take your eyes off the goal." - Henry Ford

This quote goes out to all my go-getters. In life, when you have goals, nothing will deter you from being able to achieve them.

6. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss, I will always be grateful for this quote! Life is too short to be anything other than yourself.

7. "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure." - Colin Powell

Success is what we achieve when we work hard for it, and there are no secrets or special ways to get around it.

8. "Just remember: The people that say your dreams are impossible have already quit on theirs." - Grant Cardone

I love this quote because you should never let anyone stop you from living your life the way you deserve to!!!

9. "Wherever you are, be able there." - Jim Elliot

This quote is simple and that is probably why I love it so much, It is so important to just be in the moment in life because what comes before or after does not matter at that time.

10. "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one." - Dolly Parton

Last but not least, it really is THAT simple. If you do not like the direction in which you are headed, then CHANGE. YOUR. DIRECTION. That's that.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
