Often women put everyone on Earth's needs before their own. Sometimes you have to let everyone take care of themselves for awhile so you can get what you need and

be an even better you.

When we decide to be as strong as Beyonce, sometimes we take it too far. Assuming everyone is going to put you down and approaching them with that attitude won't work

out well in the long run. But, being kind in general and fierce when need be is the absolute best.

Lucille Ball was a baller back when women really couldn't do jack in society. But she created her own studio, starred in the biggest sitcom on TV in her 40's,

and told producers if they were too racist to have her Cuban husband on the show with her, they could F off and find another hilarious red head. So, we'll take

her advice.

You're strong enough on your own. If you are passionate about something, go it alone if you have to. Others will follow.

It's easy to feel like a victim of crappy circumstances. But, it's all up to you. Decide to be the diva you are and it shall be.

What a huge difference between "Do they like me," and "They don't need to like me." Repeat this mantra at parties, in the workplace, or even when dating. Whenever you feel

needy, let this be your guiding principle.

Just "Forgive." Forgive yourself, forgive others, forgive someone now for something in the future. Though holding on to grudges can feel like the right thing to do, it only weighs

you down.

Anything that comes out of Maya's mouth is gold. Seriously. Read about her overcoming a life of abuse and prostitution to become one of the greatest authors and poets to

ever live. Angelou had everything against her, friends, family, society and she soldiered on. Cause her strength was enough.

Self love is definitely a trend in this list, but it's so important. When you feel comfortable with who you are and love yourself for it, you'll have a power few

others have.

Rupaul said his Mama gave him this piece of advice at a young age. Every Mom should put this in her quote rotation. Sure, you have to grin and bear it sometimes

when it comes to keeping your job, but if they're not picking up the check, you don't need to put up with their attitude.
