10 Quotes To Help Keep Your Head Up

I have recently started using my journal again to write down quotes and wise words from really anywhere I can find them as a way to inspire me, others, or just to remember that I shouldn’t drop my head down yet. I hope you find these encouraging or inspirational as well and let's all try to look on the bright side of things this next school year!

2. “When you start seeing your worth, you’ll find it harder to stay around people who don’t.” -Unknown

3. “Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” -Vivian Greene

4. “Make your choice, adventurous stranger, strike the bell and bide the danger, or wonder, till it drives you mad, what would have followed if you had.” -C.S. Lewis

5. “Why should it create more surprise, to see a woman preside in a council of war, than in a council of state? Why may she not be as capable of heading an army as a parliament; or of commanding at sea as of reigning at land? What should hinder her from holding the helm of a fleet with the same safety and steadiness as that of a nation?” -Lady Sophia Fermor

6. “Detox your timeline, your page, your home, your refrigerator, under your counters, your closet, your ride, your phone, your life, and your mind.” -Lalah Delia

7. “You can be the most beautiful person in the world and everybody sees light and rainbows when they look at you, but if you yourself don’t know it, all of that doesn’t even matter. Every second that you spend on doubting your worth, every moment that you use to criticize yourself; is a second of your life wasted, is a moment of your life thrown away. It’s not like you have forever, so don’t waste any of your seconds, don’t throw even one of your moments away.” -C. JoyBell

8. “In every one of your actions, because you are relying on God’s strength, you must behave as one motivated solely by love.” -Saint Josemaria

9. “Be intentional. But also let yourself explore, let yourself wander.” -Aftyn Shah

10. “A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.” -Eleanor Roosevelt
