#Women’sHistoryMonth: 10 Empowering Quotes That Every Woman Needs To Hear

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapel Hill chapter.

In honor of Women’s History Month, I thought I would share a few powerful reminders that every female deserves to hear — on the bad days and the good. I hope that you enjoy these 10 phrases and that you feel a little more empowered because of them.

1. You are beautiful—on the inside and outside.

You are so beautiful, and I’m not just referring to physical appearance. I’m talking about your personality, your characteristics and everything that makes you unique.

2. You are loved.

You are so loved by so many wonderful people. Don’t ever forget that.

3. You are strong.

You are so strong. You can take on anything this world has to throw at you, and you can make the best of any situation. That’s amazing.

4. Nothing can hold you back.

Absolutely nothing can hold you back. The world is your oyster. It’s full of possibility, and nothing can hold you back from taking advantage of that.

5. You are deserving of so much happiness.

You are incredible and deserving of all of the happiness that this world has to offer—and that’s a lot. You can be happy. You really, really can.

6. You know how to make the most of everything a new day has to offer.

Each day can be an adventure, and you know how to make the most of that. You can take advantage of everything each new day has to offer you. You can make the most of everything you are given from the time you wake up in the morning to the time you go to bed at night—and that is an extra special sort of gift right there.

7. You can make it through anything—and I mean anything.

No matter what this world throws at you, no matter how many times you feel like giving up, you can do anything, and that means that you can make it through anything too. You can take on anything this world throws at you and come out safe on the other side.

8. You are doing your best, and that’s always enough.

You are doing your best, even when it doesn’t feel like it. You are putting your best foot forward, trying your hardest and doing what you can to be successful. That is always enough.

9. You can be whatever—and whoever—you want to be.

You can be whatever, and whoever, you want to be. No matter what anyone tells you, you can do it. You can do and be anything you set your mind to.

10. The world is yours—now make the most of it.

The world is yours. It’s all at your fingertips. Now go out and make the most of it. Trust me. You’ll be incredible.

You are a beautiful and wonderfully made woman. You are so blessed and deserving of so much happiness. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Go out and explore everything the world has to offer and be all that you can be. I hope you use these words to encourage other women in your life.

How will you encourage other women?
