Sometimes we need badass quotes to motivate the sh*t out of us!

Amirite?

You find yourself absorbed in positive affirmations on FB and Instagram and Pinterest and all other social media sites because, really, that’s where all your answers lie, right? You drown in a sea of rainbows and unicorns, magic, and butterflies. Fluff and flowers.

Is it helping though? I’m guilty of scrolling feeds looking for inspirational messages in a post.

Sometimes the best badass quotes show up at just the right moment and I find myself screaming “Omg that’s so true!!!!” Or is that just me?

Anyway, in my tumultuous years, I’ve come up with a few quotes about being a badass! In this post, I’m going to share them with you and hope you have your HELL YA moments too!!

You know sometimes, fluffy doesn’t quite cut it. We need something hard-hitting and powerful to shake us up and wake us up. Tough love if you will. I hope these will serve as your daily inspirational quotes for when times are tough and you are down.
