10 Life Lessons Learned From A 3 Year Old
Personal

Over the course of our lives we pick up lessons along the way. By the time we are at the end of the road, if we are lucky enough we have collected many lessons. If you have ever been around a toddler you might know that for someone so tiny they have a big bucket of life lessons.

1. Sharing is caring

Share thoughts and ideas, hugs and kisses, and your time and love.

2. Persistence pays off

We all learn in life that if you work hard enough you'll end up getting what you want. Apparently, begging and screaming can also achieve that goal for you.

3. Nourishment and being well rested are key factors in living a functional life

Hanger is real and add it with being sleepy and the devil would become undefeated

4. It's good to dance even when people are watching

As we grow up we tend to start caring more and more what people think but life is truly magical when we can let our hair down and show off our newest ballerina twirls in the middle of the busy city for all to see.

5. Mostly everything can be healed with a hug

...and sometimes a lollipop

6. Sometimes time outs are needed

We all get in to moods and and do things we don't mean to and sometimes we just need to accept that and self punish

7. It's OK to color outside the lines

In fact it's encouraged

8. Crying in front of people is alright

If you feel it, show it

8. Boys have cooties

This is one to remember

9. You're imagination can get you far

Dream big and who knows where you can get

10. When life brings rain, put on your boots and jump in the puddles

Bad days are always around the corner, they're inevitable but it's important to make the most of it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
