20 Words To Live By

As the stresses of life endlessly pile up, we often forget to remember what life is really about. We weren't created simply to exist, work and wither away. Rather, we were created out of love, as perfectly imperfect beings. We shouldn't then be striving to reach mere earthly goals. Because the truth of the matter is that for every goal we reach, there is another right around the corner. Instead, we should be reaching for a life that has meaning, to be the best version of ourselves, to be better friends, to be better disciples. A big part of this is remembering the innate qualities we were given by simply being human. We were crafted for some bigger purpose, and have been given the tools to do so.

So the next time you are struggling to keep perspective, stressed, or simply down on yourself, remember these 20 words that make you simply and beautifully human:

1. Worthy

2. Enough

3. Beautiful

4. Intelligent

5. Happy

6. Blessed

7. Fulfilled

8. Willing

9. Purposeful

10. Joyful

11. Holy

12.Good

13. Better

14. Possible

15. Pure

16. Unique

17. Creative

18. Soulful

19. Imagined

20. Loved

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.
