I am going to tell you something you need to do, fall completely head over heels in love, with yourself.Learning to love yourself is one of the most important things in life. Everyone is always looking for love from other people but what about loving yourself? It is probably one of the harder things to do because we all without a doubt have our insecurities. If you can't love yourself how can you expect to when know when someone else truly loves you. There are so many reasons why you should love yourself. Here are just a few:

1. You have the power and potential to be anything you wish to be.

As long as it is worked for.

2. There will always be someone jealous of the life you live

You wish you were someone else but there is always someone else that wishes they were you. Be grateful you are who you are.

3. There is always someone in your life that loves you more than you could ever imagine

They love you this way for reasons, learn them and love them as well. There will always be someone you love but someone who loves you too.

4. Younger ones look up to you

When that little girl/boy looks up at you and decides one day they want to be just like you, you don't want them to go through life insecure you want them to love themselves, as you should.

5. Your heart is so big people could drown in your love.

You have so much love to offer, the love you can share with the world is endless, give some of that love to yourself.

6. For every mistake you make there is always good you can do to make up for it

You can't go through life hating yourself for that one or several mistakes you made. It happens, you are human and the good thing about that is, you can make mistakes but you can do good things and make up for them as well.

7. You are always growing

There is always room for you to grow, if you are 6 or 80 you are always growing, physically or mentally. You can grow into the person you wish to be. Love yourself every step of the way. You are always going to be great.

8. You are so much stronger than you believe

You don't know your full potential strength until a time comes when you need it and even then you are stronger than you realize. Loving yourself gives you even more strengths.

9. Your story

We all have our story and no one will ever have the same exact one as you. It makes you who you are and that makes you special.

10. It betters your health

If you love yourself, you are going to take better care of yourself. The healthier the better. Always do anything you can to improve your health.

11. It gives you a life-long best friend

Every one always wants a best friend they will have for life and self love gives you someone, you. You will be always looking out for yourself and making decisions to better yourself. You really are the one person you can count on for life.

12. No one is you

You are so unique. There is a million different things that make you, you and each one of them is beautiful. There will never be another you and that makes you so special.

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.

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.
