From the wise words of Melinda Gates, \u201cIf you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction.\u201d So if you’ve been feeling uninspired, check out these quotes from successful women to help you feel motivated again (because empowered women empower women, right?).<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it\u2019s part of success.\u201d — Arianna Huffington, Former Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief of\u00a0The Huffington Post<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI learned to always take on things I\u2019d never done before. Growth and comfort do not coexist.\u201d — Virginia Rometty, CEO of IBM<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cA voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerlessness and silence go together.\u201d — Margaret Atwood, Author<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBe less curious about people and more curious about ideas.\u201d — Marie Curie, Physicist and Chemist<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cPower is being told you\u2019re not loved and not being destroyed by it.\u201d — Madonna, Singer-Songwriter<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, \u2018Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?\u2019 Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won\u2019t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It\u2019s not just in some of us; it\u2019s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.\u201d\u00a0 — Marianne Williamson, Author<\/strong><\/p>\n “My mother told me to be a lady.
