5 Quotes That Keep Me Going

Happy Tuesday!

Like most people, I have some quotes that get me through life every day. Sometimes, those quotes come from Pinterest, family members, or they may be from books. I have so many favorites that I could go on for days. Today, I’ll share my 5 favorite quotes.

1. “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken”

Being a girl is hard and most women may or may not agree with me but I have had trouble fitting in in the past but as I've grown older, I have realized that people like different. Even if people don’t like different, you shouldn't live your life to please people. That only causes more stress on top of so much stress you may already have. I believe that to be genuinely happy, you have to stop caring what people may think of you.

2. “You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, love like you'll never be hurt, sing like there's nobody listening, and live like it's heaven on earth.” –William W. Purkey

I fell in love with this quote right after I saw it. I live by this every day and is extremely special to me because my mom says it to me every once in a while. The words are a great reminder to live your life like you want it.

3. “She builds up other because she knows what it’s like to be torn down.”

Life is isn't easy for everyone and I know what it’s like to feel like a little grain of sand next to someone. Build others up every chance you get because you don’t know what battles they could be fighting.

4. “A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor”

I can’t count how many times I say this a week. Whether it’s a small event that’s going on in my life or one that really beats me up for a while, I remind myself that things happen for a reason and I will learn something important from it.

5. “Strength is not measured by physical capacity but from indomitable will” -Gandhi

I found this quote when I was writing a presentation about my mom. I felt like this quote describes her and many of the women in my family in so many ways and it makes the saying so much more important to me. These words are also a great reminder of why I’m still here and why I have the great life I have.


These are 5 of the quotes that keep me going and have had a great impact on my life at some point. I would love to hear some of your favorite quotes and what they mean to you!
