"When you have a feeling about something and it’s so strong, you just have to trust your gut. Even though everyone said I was crazy, I didn’t care, because when you really believe in something so strongly nothing can stop you." - Suze Yalof Schwartz (CEO/Founder, Unplug Meditation)

"I would say that she needs to trust herself - that is the first thing - and to go for what she wants to do. Because as long as she believes in herself she's fine, but if she starts second-guessing herself, if she's always seeking approval from others, she's never going to have the self-confidence to do things. That is one thing I would definitely tell women: to set yourself free from fear and to trust yourself to do it." - Ruchira Gupta (Founder, Apne Aap Women Worldwide)

"I began, as many people have to today, to invent my career. If you have in your soul this impulse of your own emerging potential and of the world's, then you will probably become a social innovator and create your own vocation." - Barbara Marx Hubbard (Futurist, Author, Public Speaker)

"If I feel that I've served God's will, that I've been completely present, and that I gave my entire heart to the process, then I know I'm in alignment to my purpose. To me, that's what success feels like." - Seane Corn (Yoga Teacher, Author, Activist)

"Persistence is the one thing that's kept me going through everything in my entire life. If it's something you really believe in, it's just about being massively persistent. You really have to be, because nobody is going to listen to you the first time." - Holly Grigg-Spall (Author, Sweetening the Pill)

"I think as women the best thing we can do for all of us is to continue to do our best at what we are passionate about and make room for others to do the same." - Gina Belafonte (Activist, Actress, Producer)

"I began to really think about how to make an impact, how to make a difference. I realized that I didn’t want to spend my life doing something that’s not going to make a difference. I needed to challenge myself and find people that could help me." - Sarah Eagle Heart (CEO, Native Americans in Philanthropy)

"I think it's so important as women that we support one another and hold ourselves to a higher bar for treating each other better {...} It's really important to step up on things like that." - Abigail Gray Swartz (Artist, Activist)

"I think our generation is really different from our parent's generation as well, in that we are striving for more meaning than just financial gains. I mean, if you spend so much time working, you should be getting behind something you really believe in." - Jenny Costa (CEO/Founder, Rubies in the Rubble)

"Taking chances and following our hearts is the closest thing we all have to an inner compass. Whatever our life mission is, if we are seeking it truly and willing to follow, the path will reveal itself." - Dr. Nina Smart (Author, Founder of SWF International)

"I had to start to believe that I could actually be supported for being who I am, rather than what I 'should be' according to commonly held beliefs about how you normally make money and earn a living." - Mira Kelley (Author, Past Life Regressionist)
