He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. – Friedrich Nietzsche

Having a reason to live infuses us with energy every day to actually go out a truly live. It wakes us up in the morning and is a reminder to keep going. Is your reason to live your children, your job, your volunteer duties, other family and friends, pets? Don’t have a reason to live, find one.

Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, just harness your power to your passion- Oprah Winfrey

Leave it to Oprah to talk about how to live life in the real fast lane. Why drive when you can fly? She says that all you need to do is connect your power to your passion and off you go. Think about how Oprah has lived her life. She definitely got her power and her passion linked up, and it has provided her the energy and drive to become a billionaire. She is entirely self-made, which makes her a great role model for young women that want to earn a lot of money and are starting out with little.

The power you have is to be the best version of yourself you can be, so you can create a better world.-Ashley Rickards

Being the best version of yourself takes effort and a deliberate attempt to do so. You never really know what the best version of yourself is until you start to try to become it. You’ll find that once you work on improving yourself, you’ll discover a new way to get better, and it becomes a continual process. The opposite is also true, and should be avoided. If you let yourself slide, you’ll find new ways to continue that slide and become a version of yourself you never wanted to be.

Renewal requires opening yourself up to new ways of thinking and feeling- Deborah Day

Today is just another opportunity to learn. You can find a new way of thinking about today. You can find a new way to feel the pain of those around you. Maybe you can empathize better. Maybe you can find a way to feel the joy that someone around is feeling. If we are to find renewal, we must find new again… literally.

Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. – John R. Wooden

Focusing on what you can do and finding others to help you with the things you can’t do is the key to a successful life. Why bang your head against the wall when you come upon something that you’re not able to do? It’s not possible to be a master in every area, so be sure to put the best person for the job on each job, and be humble enough to say that you’re not always that person. Some of the most successful people of all time had great teams that were able to accomplish more than just one person could.

I’ve failed over and over and over again. And that is why I succeed – Michael Jordan

Leave it to MJ to put into words a simple truth. You can’t succeed without failing because failing shows effort and shows that you’re attempting success. Failure also teaches, as surely Michael missed plenty of shots but tweaked his shot with each miss until he missed less and less. He also wasn’t afraid to take the shot, even if the entire game was riding on it. That fearlessness in the face of possible failure is something we can all take away.

You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great – Zig Ziglar

Starting is the most important part of success, even though finishing is often thought of as having arrived. It’s so easy to get caught up in wondering about how things will turn out that we lose sight of getting started. Also, if you worry about failing, or coming up against obstacles along the way, this can deter you from even starting. But all of that is imaginary thinking because you only know what will really happen when you start moving towards your goal and deal with these challenges as you come upon them.

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. – Martin Luther King Jr.

It can be so hard to take that first step when the rest of the journey is unclear, or even totally unknown. But that is what life is like, each step we take is really a step of faith because we never know what’s ahead, we just have to carry on and deal with what happens next to the best of our abilities. Here Dr. King reminds us that we’ll never be able to see the whole staircase, no matter if it’s an important project, a relationship, or the totality of our lives. It matters not, because as long as you have faith in that first step, the next will appear.

It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but even more to stand up to your friends. – J. K. Rowling

It does take courage to make a stand and go up against your enemies, but what happens when it’s your friends that you have to stand up to? This is when it becomes very hard indeed to go against the grain and stand up for what you believe is right. So many times young women are lured into what their group of friends is saying or doing, even when they know it’s not right. It may end up that you’re not friends with those people anymore, but you’ll make new friends that share your values.

If you fell down yesterday, stand up today – H. G. Wells

Last time you fell flat on your face and you promised yourself that would never happen again. Well, today’s another day. Today’s the day you stand up and push on. And if you fall again, go ahead and get up tomorrow and try again.
