Empowering quotes that will uplift YOU at any time.

Sometimes, you might look for empowering quotes for women or for girls. Our compilation can even provide some self empowering quotes as well as empowering others quotes.
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Your greatest self has been waiting your whole life; don't make it wait any longer.
You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, and Live like it's heaven on earth.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
If you don't build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.
A winner is a dreamer who never gives up.
Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.
Whether you’re 9 or 90, stop trying to fix the things you’re bad at, and focus on the things you’re good at.
If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.
Oprah Winfrey
You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.
I enjoy life when things are happening. I don’t care if it’s good things or bad things. That means you’re alive.
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
I grew up in a time when women didn’t really do comedy. You had to be homely, overweight, an old maid, all that. You had to play a stereotype, because very attractive women were not supposed to be funny—because it’s powerful; it’s a threat.
I didn’t belong as a kid, and that always bothered me. If only I’d known that one day my differentness would be an asset, then my early life would have been much easier.
Remember happiness doesn’t depend upon who you are or what you have: it depends solely upon what you think.
All good ideas start out as bad ideas, that’s why it takes so long.
If you want to see a miracle, be the miracle.
You can if you think you can.
If it matters to you, you’ll find a way.
Change the world by being yourself.
Mindy Kaling
I never want to be called the funniest Indian female comedian that exists. I feel like I can go head-to-head with the best white male comedy writers that are out there. Why would I want to self-categorize myself into a smaller group than I’m able to compete in?
Turn your wounds into wisdom.
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.
If you’re creating anything at all, it’s really dangerous to care about what people think.
You affect your subconscious mind by verbal repetition.
You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.
Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.
If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
Be so good they can’t ignore you.
Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.

These are wonderful quotes, Crisly. I personally like “Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.” Something my husband always tell me. I choose my friends very well. What and who you surround yourself with will somehow affect you and define you. As they said, tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.
Thanks for the inspiration! Definitely good for times of frustration.

All are great quotes but MLK spoke to me.
Hello. I am a huge fan of Oprah and what she said is nothing but the truth. I am trying to surround myself with those kind of people, but those kind of people are not around me. Guess I should start looking for them. I love quotes and this post is awesome. Nice looking blog too. Keep up the good work.
Oprah is one of the living proof that anyone can do anything they wishes. I agree with you, if the people you want to surround yourself are not around you, you have to look for them elsewhere. Thank you for appreciating our work 🙂

I love this quotes especially that for if you don’t biuld your dream someone else will hire you to help them biuld theirs.
I like the first quote best, Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, It’s about learning to dance in the rain. I usually say it’s not about the destination but the journey to get to the destination that builds you up and teaches you valuable lessons by creating unique moments.
“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, and Live like it’s heaven on earth.’
This quote by William Purkey is indeed uplifting. We’ve gotta bring heaven on earth by living like this, especially, ‘love like you’ll never be hurt.’.
I love quotes… because sometimes you’re feeling something but you cannot find the right words and then you read a quote and BOOM that’s it!
I love this the most, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
I have always believed in finding the good in everything. Inasmuch as I can, I try to choose love because love is much more powerful.
If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.
This quote stuck. It’s an eye opener for me. I think I should double my efforts to achieve my dreams..
“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” — This is the quote I want to live by! I am going to start writing down these quotes everywhere to empower myself everyday!
Thank you for compiling all these. My favorite would be “If it matters to you, you’ll find a way.” as this is my motto in life. If you want something, you’ll work hard and not let anything stop you from reaching your goals.
