Here are my top seven quotes...

"Do not let your doubts become your limitations" - Savvy Shields

One of my favorite Miss America's said this during her reign and it has stuck with me forever as my mantra. Our only limitations are ourselves and the doubts we create.

"If you are waiting to start until when you are ready, you will be waiting the rest of your life" - Unknown

As someone who is a big "I will start Monday type of person", this resonates all too well. I stopped waiting to chase after what I wanted. If we decide to not be afraid of failure, we are given more opportunities to grow.

"Choose to be comfortable or courageous, you sure as hell cannot be both"- My cycling instructor

My cycle instructor said this the other day and it is so true! We have to fight to get out of that comfort zone. We create those comfort zones and we are strong enough to leave them.

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence"- Vince Lombardi

I am a big advocate for "perfection does not exist" but I still chase it every day for the opportunity to grow. I think it should be something we chase after but not something to be sad about if we do not succeed. No one can succeed in being perfect but we can become better versions of ourselves.

"It is never too late to be what you might have been"- George Eliot

This has been a struggle for me lately. Even though I am only 22, I feel like I missed prime years to achieve some major goals and to be successful. I have to remind myself that I can achieve any goal during any season of life if I am willing to put in an effort.

"We cant help everyone, but everyone can help someone"- Ronald Reagan

I did this year long mission trip and I came home feeling like I did not help anyone but I truly helped so many people. We can help people everyday even if we are now helping the majority. Do not downsize the work you have already done.

"When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves"- William Arthur Ward

Gossip. When we gossip, we choose to see the bad in others. Life is more joyful when you cheer each other on.

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.
