10 Inspirational Quotes That I Live By
Jason Strull

When life hits me hard, it leaves me with a scar that will never fade away. It has its story to tell and it signifies just how strong I actually am. But one thing I use as a mental recharge from those days I have been at rock bottom is reading quotes. I envision myself living the words of those quotes, and I have even written some myself, and it really helps me to clarify and prioritize what's truly important in my life. Here are 10 quotes I live by. Maybe they will help you as well.

1. "There has got to be a reason as to why such a temporary thing that is life was even created in the first place." -Rosseline Bencosme

2. "Train your mind to see the good in everything." -Unknown

3. "Life is only 10% what happens to us, and 90% how we react to it." -Dennis P. Kimbro

4. "What others say is a reflection of them, not you." -Paulo Coelho

5. "When you find nothing to live for, ask someone to lend you $5, and the repayment process will regain purpose in you." -Alejandro Bencosme

6. "Either you run the day, or the day runs you." -Jim Rohn

7. "Sometimes when things seem to be falling apart, they might just be falling into place." -Anurag Prakash Ray

8. "I am not where I want to be yet, but I am happy I am not where I used to be." - Joyce Meyer

9. "When the devil tells you to look at your past, there must be something good in your future he doesn't want you to see." -Unknown

10. "He replied 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move' and it will move. Nothing is impossible for you.'" -Matthew 17:20 NIV

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
