#1 Born For Greatness

We’ve All Fallen Down, And We’ll Fall Down Again

But You Were Born For Greatness – Never Be Afraid To Get Back Up As Many Times As It Takes To Succeed

What This Inspirational Quote Means

We’ve all been let down, taken one for the team, hit a brick wall or been thrown a curveball. Emotionally, physically or mentally, we’ve all been there more than once.

But it’s not about how many times you fall down. Real success is had by those willing to get back up. And not just once, but time and time again.

In fact, they’ll get back up as many times as it takes to succeed – leaving everyone and everything else in the dust.

Be a survivor, be a warrior. Find a way to be whatever you need to be to win. Whatever it is, you got this.

#2 The Stepping Stones

Amazing Ideas Are Just Like Stepping Stones

They Let You Cross The Wildest Rivers. The Ones You Could Never Cross With A Single Jump

What This Inspirational Quote Means

You’re amazing. You have the potential to build an empire.

But imagine your ultimate goal is in a window on the third floor. You can jump as much as you like, but you’ll never reach it.

Now imagine every great idea you have is a rung on a ladder. The more focus and energy you spend in reaching your goals, one step at a time, the stronger and higher your ladder becomes.

One day, you’ll have built your ladder so high that you’ll easily climb through that window. Be patient with yourself girls, you’ll get there.

#3 Be A Rainbow

In A World Full Of Clouds

Be A Rainbow

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Inspire yourself to be different. The world is already too full of Kardashians.

The most inspiring, most successful, most memorable, most popular people in the world don’t blend into the background.

You should never be afraid to stand out from the crowd and be noticed.

#4 You Were Born To Be Different

You Were Born To Be Different From The Others

And That’s Not Just Ok, It’s Beautiful

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Girls, you were born to be you – amazing, valuable, worthy, unique, and wonderful in every way.

Always celebrate who you are as an individual. No one is born the same, so rather than trying to blend into a crowd, embrace everything that makes you different and love yourself for it.

Take a moment every day to realise how awesome you truly are. And don’t forget to inspire yourself, there has never been another you and there never will be again.

#5 Fear Will Never Stop You

Courage Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Get Afraid

Courage Means Fear And Doubt Will Never Stop You

What This Inspirational Quote Means

If you let it, fear, doubt, and worry will hold you back from building amazing things.

Failure isn’t the end of something. It’s just a lesson on how not to do something when you get back up to try again.

And you will try again. Conquer your fears, cast aside doubt and never worry about failure.

Success is had by those who were afraid but built amazing things anyway.

#6 Supposed To Be Here

It Doesn’t Matter How Hard Life Can Get

Even In The Vastness Of An Infinite Universe, You Were Gifted This Life. You Are Supposed To Be Here

Never Forget That

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Never doubt your self-worth. It doesn’t matter who you are, you are just as valuable as anyone else in the world.

You are a miracle and you’re capable of amazing things. Think about who you are and who you want to be and you’ll find yourself on a path to get there.

Remember, you’re capable of amazing things. You were meant for this world. Be someone, not some thing.

#7 Let It Out

If You Don’t Tell People How You Feel

How Will They Ever Know?

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Hiding emotion can be unhealthy and counterproductive.

Telling your loved ones or close friends what’s on your mind or what’s in your heart means you’re strong enough to express yourself – and they will respect you for it.

Talking about how you feel can be difficult sometimes, but having the courage to try means you’ve already made one positive step in the right direction.

#8 A Strong Mind And A Beautiful Heart

Gold, Silver & Diamonds Are What Everyone Wants

A Strong Mind And A Beautiful Heart Is What Everyone Needs

What This Inspirational Quote Means

People spend their lives chasing wealth only to find that in the end, it really wasn’t that important.

It’s ironic that compassion, love, tolerance, empathy, and the ability to truly connect with other human beings on an emotional level are all totally free, yet are things money can never buy.

You might one day own lots of valuable items, but they’ll never make you valuable to anyone else.

True wealth is when people value you more for a beautiful heart than for beautiful things.

#9 The Gift Of A Child

If A Child Gives You A Rock, Accept It

To You It’s Just A Rock. To Them, It’s All They Have To Give – And They’ve Chosen To Give It To You

What This Inspirational Quote Means

We could all take lessons from children now and again.

With little hearts untainted by greed or selfishness, they’re willing to give all they have to make someone else smile – even if it is just for a moment.

You don’t have to give all you have to be a better person. Sometimes all you need to give is a little compassion to change someone’s life.

#10 When “I Wish”

When “I Wish” Becomes “I Will”

“I Can’t” Becomes “I Can”

What This Inspirational Quote Means

The only one stopping you from reaching the stars is you.

We’ve all been guilty of not trying hard enough or ended up wishing we’d put in that little extra effort.

“Yes you CAN” & “Yes you WILL” means you will make great things happen. You’re full of potential – but you’ll never reach it by wishing alone.

#11 The Most Beautiful Things

The Most Beautiful Things In Life Cannot Be Held In Your Hands

They Can Only Be Held In Your Heart

What This Inspirational Quote Means

The wealthiest people in the world are also the loneliest. This is a fact.

Loyalty, love, and trust are sacred. They are not qualities you’ll find in people attracted by material wealth.

It’s weird how the richest people on earth can also be the unhappiest.

#12 The Ugly Duckling

Never Judge Someone’s Spirit Before They’ve Even Blossomed

Even The Ugly Duckling Became A Beautiful Swan

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Beauty is only skin deep and although it may bring you some success in your own life, who will ever remember you for it?

Fashion icons and movie stars will always come and go. Popular people at school will be forgotten in time and singers and dancers will eventually lose their cool factor.

It’s the quiet girl who finds a way to make the world a better place for everyone, it’s her memory that will live on forever.

Remember, a beautiful face has never changed the world. Beautiful hearts have.

#13 Never Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle

Never Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle

You Weren’t Born To Be Anything Less Than Utterly Fabulous

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Embrace yourself and celebrate being who you are whenever you can.

You are unique, you are utterly amazing and you should congratulate yourself often for that.

No one should ever be allowed to make you feel less valuable than you know you are. These people are negative souls and will chip away at your happiness.

If they can’t value you in the same way you value yourself, avoid them.

#14 Never Look Down On Someone

Never Look Down On Someone Unless You’re Helping Them Up

It’s Scary How Fast Life Can Put You In Their Shoes

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Life has a habit of throwing a serious curveball your way and usually when you least expect it.

Never gloat or take too much pride in what you’ve achieved, they say pride comes before a fall.

Even the wealthiest people have ended up flat broke from life suddenly giving them lemons.

Never take anything for granted and learn to appreciate what you have as well as those around you. The day might come when you need them more than they need you.

#15 Standing Up For What You Believe In

Real Strength Is Standing Up For What You Believe In

Even If It Means Standing Alone

What This Inspirational Quote Means

What’s right is right, even if you’re the only one who believes it.

Never be afraid to voice your concerns. Sometimes you’re the voice others wish they were brave enough to have.

The strongest people become successful because they’re willing to express their opinions.

It might even be scary at times but if it’s the right thing to do, then it’s the right thing to do.

#16 Big Dreams From Little Ideas

Always Remember, Even The Mightiest Forest Was At One Time A Handful Of Little Seeds

The Biggest Dreams Happen When You Build Them One Idea At A Time

What This Inspirational Quote Means

The biggest, most enduring empires that ever existed didn’t just appear from nothing. They were built piece by piece, slowly, and became mighty over time.

You too have the potential to build an empire. By perfecting small ideas and building on them, you too can reach for the stars.

How high you can go is only limited by the strength of what you’ve built upon.

#17 The Superstar You Were Born To Be

Start At The Start. Set Goals – Smash Them

Become The Superstar You Were Born To Be

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Never try to move too fast. You’re capable of amazing things but amazing things only happen when you’re very, very good at what you do.

Whatever you do, start at the start. Set yourself challenges and perfect them. Set yourself goals and smash them one at a time.

If you want to build a strong lasting future, don’t dilute your effort by pursuing dreams you’re not ready for.

#18 Even In The Darkness – There’s Hope

Even In The Darkest Night

The Smallest Flame Can Be A Guiding Light

What This Inspirational Quote Means

Sometimes it feels like there is no hope.

But even in your darkest of days, your mind and spirit are still truly amazing.

You can find something positive to focus on. You can let it become an idea. Once it’s an idea then let it become a goal. Strive for it, smash it.

Even in the smallest victory you’ll find new inspiration. Then you’ll see that there is always a spark of hope somewhere in the darkness to guide you to where you need to be.
