A week of girl power quotes

MONDAY

How to keep believing in yourself

As you go on in this world… always
believe in your dreams. Keep looking
forward to the future… to all you
might be. Don’t let old mistakes or
misfortunes hold you down: learn
from them, forgive yourself… or
others… and move on.
You’ve got this.

TUESDAY

How to stay strong when things get tough

Do not be bothered or discouraged by
adversity. Instead, meet it as a challenge.
Be empowered by the courage it takes you
to overcome obstacles.

WEDNESDAY

How to keep learning and knowing yourself

Learn things. Learn something
new every day.
Be interested in others, and what
they might teach you. But do not
look for yourself in the faces of
others. Do not look for who you are
in other people’s approval. As far
as who you are and who you will
become goes—the answer is always
within yourself.

THURSDAY

How to make the world a better place

Like a rainbow, you bring color
to ordinary places. Like a sunset,
you add brilliance. Like a river, you
know the way. With the patience
of the forests, you wait for your
dreams to grow. And like the most
special flower in the garden…

You grow stronger and more beautiful
every day.

FRIDAY

Ways to trust your heart

Believe in yourself.
Follow your heart, and your dreams.
You… like everyone… will make mistakes.
But so long as you are true
to the strength within your own
heart… you can never go wrong.

SATURDAY

Everyday girl power

Don’t wait for fate to change your life.
Instead, walk into the ballgame, grab a bat, and hit a home run.
Great things await if you have the determination to see them through.
If you never try, you will never know whether you can succeed.
Life is about making mistakes, learning from them, and moving forward to the future.
So go ahead and fail. Fail and fail again—that’s how you learn what success feels like.
Take a step. Then take another. If you fall, get up again and keep going.
Keep on growing. You got this.

SUNDAY

What makes a girl in the world like you so great?

A girl in the world
is a wonderful thing.

She can become a doctor.
She can dream and plan.
She can handle adversity.
She can stand up tall.
And in all these things,
she is beautiful.
She is strong.
A girl in the world
is a wonderful thing.
She can do most anything
she puts her mind to.
