20 Reasons To Be Happy

In our busy life we tend to forget that we have so much to be happy and thankful for. We go over and over the negatives and don't think about all the little things we should be thankful for. Reminding yourself of one thing that you are happy for everyday is a great way to start looking on the positive side of life. Some reasons might be more relevant to you than others, but here are 20 reasons we all have to be happy:

1. You are alive and breathing.
2. You can have a warm cup of tea or coffee this morning.
3. You have weekends.
4. When your bad days go by fast.
5. When you can savor those good days.
6. You have people who love you.
7. And you have the ability to love them back.
8. You have grown and learned so much from this time last year.
9. Good hair days.
10. Money in your bank (even if it is not as much as you want it to be).
11. Hot food.
12. Laughing so hard that it hurts.
13. The ability to smile.
14. Long hugs.
15. Warm bed to fall into after a long day.
16. The sun for warming your back.
17. The snow for allowing you to have snowball fights and make snow angels.
18. Photos to remember those good days.
19. Photos to remember those bad days.
20. Seeing or remembering from those bad days which make the good days even better.

So tomorrow morning when you wake up, remind yourself of one reason that you have to be thankful. This will start your day off on a positive note and is something you can remind yourself of all day long!

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.
