Summer has arrived and the sun is hopefully, in your case as it is mine, beating down on our faces. Sadly enough, that doesn't always register as the medicine our hearts and minds need to heal from difficult moments and obstacles in life.

I, personally, have been through my fair share of ‘down’ moments during the brightest days, and know how it feels to search for something as a quick pick-me-up when tasks need to be completed and life needs to be lived.

Instead of sharing a coupon for Cold Stone ice cream, which is usually my pick-me-up of choice, I wanted to share 10 encouraging and motivating quotes for millennial women that have helped me through the occasional sluggish day.

I use these quotes as affirmations to start my morning on the right foot, or reminders when my ambition withers away after a rough moment.

Whether or not you’re going through a tough time right now (you could be having your best day to date for all I know), I truly hope this short post can uplift and inspire you to be the intentional and fearless human being you’re meant to be.

Comment any other quotes you think belong on this list, and share the love by pinning this post on Pinterest if you enjoyed it.
