Girl Talk | 5 Quotes + Affirmations That Keep Me At Level Badass!

Written by: Sol

Girl listen…

When I tell you that this last week was probably the most emotionally draining weeks of LIFE, trust when I say what I say! From challenges at Le Workjob, Obama’s departure  and the lifeless inauguration of He Who Shall Remain Nameless, my nerves and emotions have been all over the map.

However, out of all that chaos some good things happened, too. We announced our partnership with The Power Plus Weekend, secured a couple other projects {we’ll share deets later}, and managed to squeeze in some BFF time with my girls and fam before my schedule hits OVERDRIVE!

When you live on an emotional roller coaster (Much like I’ve the one I’ve been on for the past few weeks!), it’s super easy to get distracted and forget who you are and what you stand for. In those moments, I search for a little inspiration in daily quotes and affirmations. Here are my top 5 quotes and affirmations that keep me focused on being next level Badass at all times!

**Disclaimer: In this post, the term “badass” has nothing to do with riding a motorcycle, being covered in tats, or cussing like a sailor (Though all of that is TOTALLY okay, if that’s your thing!). For all intents and purposes, badass means a confident woman who is trusting of life, the world and all that comes with it because she knows she can 100% trust and have assurance in herself!**

Stay Classy, Sassy, And A Bit Bad Assy!

So, this one’s a bit self-explanatory.  In life, a woman should always possess a certain amount of sass, class, and badass AT ALL TIMES! She should always be in “Ready” mode so that she can deal with WHATEVER comes her way, no matter how unfair, unjust or ridiculous it may be!

 

Don’t Call Me Lucky, Call Me A Badass 

This affirmation comes from one of my favorite books from one of my favorite writers, Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes. This is so fitting, especially as an entrepreneur, because when people see my businesses grow, the first thing they yell out is how “lucky” I am.

Well, honey, if by lucky you mean countless sleepless nights, an overactive brain, limitless meetings, tons of writing, endless execution strategies, and numerous lessons in resilience, restructuring and relentless persistence, then you’re right… I’m “lucky” as hell! *insert eye roll*

 

Don’t Let How You Feel Make You Forget What You Deserve

This is such a powerful statement because we have ALL been here a time or two.

Something happened that rocked your spirit to the very core and our feelings are all-the-way hurt. It’s in those moments that we begin to doubt ourselves, our abilities, and sometimes our purpose.  But this is a friendly reminder that (Thankfully!) your dreams and visions are not built on emotions. They’re built on your persistence, your drive and on the sheer fact that YOU deserve the best that life has to offer! Doesn’t that just feel yummy? 🙂

Trust The Journey…

Nothing’s harder than going through hell and high water and not understanding or knowing the reason why. But over the last couple years, I have learned to embrace and trust the journey.

No matter how dark or rough it gets, you have to rest in the fact of knowing that every situation, circumstance, heartache and heartbreak were meant to enrich who you are as a person. Just take a moment and reflect on the times where you were lost and disheveled, but you made it out bigger and better than ever! Feels good, don’t it? Trust the journey….

 

Invest In Yourself FIRST

There’s something beautiful about investing in yourself. Not only does it make you appreciate all that you acquire, but it also gives you a sense of pride when you look at your accomplishments.

Now I’m not saying don’t be supportive in the dreams of others, but what I am saying is that your very best, top notch investment should go to you FIRST.  Don’t give everyone else 150% and then only give 30% to your dreams/goals. Give yourself your all and watch what you wish for become a reality!

 

So, this is my top 5 – How about you? What are some of your favorite quotes and affirmations that keep you inspired, grinding, and on level Badass at all times?
