So in case you didn't know, today is National All or Nothing Day. I have to assume that this can honestly mean anything you want. Maybe it means that your significant other needs to commit or GTFO. Maybe it means that if you don't win your soccer game, you're going to take a break from the sport. Maybe it's a very low key reference to the 2001 O-Town song, "All or Nothing." Who knows? Regardless, it seems to me that on a day like today, you're going to need some motivation to get you through whatever scenario (or '00s song) that best represents this "All or Nothing" day in your life. In order to better decide whether you're going big or going home today, we've gathered up a few quotes for the occasion. If Maya Angelou, Kate Nash, and Mark Twain can't inspire you today, then what the hell can?
So whether you’re making a major life decision today or kicking back to watch someone else make life decisions while gloating over the fact that you’ve finally got your sh*t together, these 15 hella smart people will be here for you. They all have faith in you. And so do I.
And so does Nicki.

1. "A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others." - Ayn Rand

3. "Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear.

15. "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe." - Anatole France
