10 Ways To Be A Good Human Being Today

Karma is alive and well, and even the best of us need a little reminder sometimes. Regardless if it's the smallest of gestures or something unbelievably gracious, you have no idea how big an impact it could potentially make on someone else.

1. Hold the door open for people.

2. Recycle! This is one of the easiest things to do that we tend to forget about. Our future generations will thank you.

3. Let people off the elevator first before you get in.

4. Tip the waitress/barista/etc. at least 15 percent if their service was good.

5. Give a homeless person a healthy dinner - you never know when their last full meal was.

6. Pay for the next person in line's drink at your favorite coffee shop.

7. Collect your extra change in a jar somewhere to donate to charity.

8. Smile at a stranger, because you might just make their day.

9. Tell a loved one how much they mean to you.

10. Do one thing to take care of yourself - whether it be eating a healthy meal or taking a bubble bath. Remember that it's just as important to treat yourself well as it is to help other people.

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.
