These 10 Quotes Are So Badass, They Should Be Illegal
There is nothing more fascinating than
a badass reply to a question that’s meant to destroy you.

I love these moments because they give me chills and goosebumps.
The world is vast, and not everyone will support you or wish you well,
even if you are kind to them.
Some will try their best to bring you down;
that’s why you need to armor yourself with a badass attitude
so that you keep cowards at bay.
From my experience, I found that when I am always good
and kind to friends and colleagues,
they think I am weak and an easy target for ridicule and bullying.
So, I learned to be both soft and sharp,
and it got me the peace I always wanted in the social world.
Common sense and self-awareness
“Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it most never use it.”
I prefer direct confrontation,
but sometimes indirect approaches work best
and have the most effective results.
It is crazy that the people who need common sense
the most are always those who think they are smart.
I sometimes think about how they are surviving.
Badass attitude
“I’m not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.” — Stephen Covey
What happened to you doesn’t define you,
but how you react says everything about you.
If you want to upgrade so fast in life,
always ask yourself this question:
What will the best version of me do in this situation?
I learned earlier in life that when you are in a mess,
the answer may not be what you want,
but it is what you need.
“I’m not lucky. You know what I am? I’m smart, I’m talented, I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way, and I work really, really hard. Don’t call me lucky. Call me a bad*ss.” — Shonda Rhimes
I love people who are confident in themselves,
especially those who didn’t have an easy beginning.
Speak yourself and walk with confidence even infront of your enemies.
Self-worth, standards, and success
“I’m not a one in a million kind of girl. I’m a once in a lifetime kind of woman.”
If you don’t set your standard and know your worth,
people will play with you easily.
You must assert your boundaries and know who you are.
“I’m not a backup plan. I’m the only option.”
We only live once in a lifetime,
and I will never waste this time being someone’s second choice.
It is either that we are each other’s first choice
or we don’t know each other.
“I’m not for everyone. And that’s okay.”
There is nothing more amazing
than knowing that you are not meant to fit in.
You are special, destined for something great,
and not meant for everyone.
It will take you a long time to accept this truth,
but it will set your soul free.
“I have to be successful because I like expensive things.”
Who doesn’t want to become successful?
Not just financially,
but also to have good friends, family, and a strong network.
Financial success will improve your standard
and help you enjoy life to its fullest potential.
Badass reply to an ex
“I’m not a second option, and you’re not my first mistake.”
Now you have something to say to that annoying ex.
Individuality and Confidence
“I’m not a queen because of my crown. I’m a queen because of how I handle the chaos in my kingdom.”
Queen is not just a title; it is about your attitude, mentality,
and how you handle yourself.
“I’m not a puzzle to be solved. I’m a force to be reckoned with.”
I love people who are themselves and confident in who they are.
Final thoughts
From my own experience, if you are always good and sweet,
you will meet people who are not good, and they will destroy you.
I had a friend who changed deeply after going through a terrible event
and soul-crushing moments.
I watched him change from the sweetest person to a very cold person.
I didn’t judge him because what he went through was terrible,
and I wouldn’t wish it on my enemies.
There are many people who change like him, like you, or your friend.
I reflected deeply on that event and found the solution:
keep that genuine, sweet, soft, and loving part of you,
but armor it with a sharp mind and a badass attitude.
