11 Things To Keep Your Soul Happy

Eleven things you need to keep your soul happy.

1. Love yourself.

I can’t even express how important this is. Loving yourself and all that you are is something hard to do, but 100 percent necessary.

“Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.”

2. Love others unconditionally.

Loving and caring for others is a very essential to life. The way you treat and love others equally says a lot more about you than you think.

“Respect others. Help others. Love others. These are the keys that unlock our soul.”

3. Always stay positive.

Wake up everyday feeling happy, optimistic and ready to take on the day. Automatically putting yourself in this mindset will improve your energy through the day and ultimately improve what you do through the day.

“Positive Mind. Positive Vibes. Positive lives.”

4. Keep destructive and negative people at an arm's length.

Cannot even begin to explain how important this is. Do not let anyone down your mood or soul. Surround yourself with positive radiant energy and stay away from people who are the opposite.

“Life becomes easier when you delete the negative people from it.”

5. Work hard and stay humble.

Staying humble. The most elegant quality a person could have.

“Work for a cause, not for an applause live life to express not to impress don't strive to make your presence noticed just your absence felt.”

6. Love your friends and family.

Keep your family close and constantly let them know how much you love and appreciate them.

“The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.”

7. Stay strong when things get rocky.

Not everything is going to be perfect all the time. What represents you as a person is how you get through those rough times and how strong you come out of them. Don't give — up better things are always on the way.

“Life’s roughest storms prove the strength of our anchors.”

8. Learn to forgive people, no matter how hard it is.

Forgiving people no matter what they do to you says a lot about your character. Learn to forgive and forget.

“It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an even stronger person to forgive.”

9. Always be thankful, even for the littlest of things.

Honestly, in life it is always the little things that matter the most. Appreciate everything.

“Enjoy the little things in life for one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.”

10. Do whatever makes you happy, and don't care what everyone else's opinion is.

Being happy is the most important thing in the world. Don't allow anyone to take that away from you.

“If it doesn’t hurt anyone, or effect anyone else. Do whatever the hell you want.”

11. Enjoy the ride!

You only have one life so live it right and enjoy the ride!

“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.”

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.
