Inspirational Quotes for Girls: Motivational messages for young girls

Inspirational Quotes for Girls: Makeup, beauty, push-up bras, boyfriends, peer pressure… popular culture has seldom helped the idea of being a girl let alone be motivational. In a society that still has pay inequality, these myths need to be blown apart. As a teenager it is easy to let the opinions of others affect your perception of who strong you are and how beautiful you are. Girls need to feel motivated by their dreams and inspired by the sheer potential of life. It’s about time that everyone stops pitching the ‘princess’ dream to young girls and starts prepping them up to be the warriors that they’ve always been. Boardroom battles, politics, science, space, medicine, leadership – the whole world will be a better place if girls are motivated and inspired just like how boys are. Nothing wrong with being girly and looking pretty – its just that we think that there’s a lot more to life that is typically portrayed to young girls by popular culture. Enough of talk, lets get inspired!

 

1) Kept promises, not lies. Someone who can make you laugh, not someone who can pay your bills. Handwritten notes, not fake likes. Messy, not salon-fresh hair. Silences, not loud conversations. Old clothes, not new. Rainy nights, not summer evenings. The things in life that really matter are those that seem not to.

 

2) Why be a damsel in distress and wait for a prince charming when you can be a boss lady and be someone’s queen.

 

3) Always remember that you are hundred times more beautiful than what you see in the mirror.

 

4) There are no substitutes for makeup… because the only place makeup will take you is nowhere.

 

5) Before you feel the need to be pretty, make sure you feel the need to be right.

 

6) Angela Merkel – Chancellor of Germany, Theresa May – Prime Minister of United Kingdom, Melinda Gates – Co-founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Sheryl Sandberg – COO Facebook, Mary Barra – CEO General Motors, Susan Wojcicki – CEO YouTube, Abigail Johnson – President-CEO Fidelity Investments, Christine Lagarde – Managing Director International Monetary Fund, Ana Patricia Botin – Executive Chairman Banco Santander, Ginni Rometty – CEO IBM… these are the World’s Most Powerful Women as per Forbes’ 2017 ranking. All these women got to where they are with intelligence, strength, hard-work and following their dreams. Remind this to yourself next time popular culture tries to brainwash you into believing that a girl can’t get anywhere without heels and push-up bras.

7) If you don’t like heels, don’t wear them. If you don’t like push-up bras, don’t wear them. Don’t do anything that you don’t like. Be comfortable in your own skin… that’s the most beautiful you’ll ever be.

Be proud, because you know that you’re beautiful and nothing can change that.
