Every year we are given a new slate. We have the opportunity to not repeat the mistakes we’ve made in the past and a chance to become our best selves.

Last year was the year for women. Let this year become the year for you. Your best year. Allow this time to grow intellectually, spiritually and mentally. Leave behind toxic relationships and start associating yourself with people who deserve you.

Learn how to communicate your feelings and accept that it’s OK to say no. Understand that you will mess up at times but that’s apart of life.

The people we’ve lost, the friends who have grown out one another, have supplied us with infinite memories that will remain with us forever.

But the pain doesn’t.

It will hurt but eventually, you’ll realize it’s time to move on. Deep down you know they will never be forgotten.

Think positively. Every day is not going to be perfect, in fact nowhere near perfect. You’ll have your balance of both good and bad days. However, it’s important that during the bad days, that you stay positive. It’s easy to undergo negative emotions but it makes you much stronger when you smile. It makes you stronger when you laugh even when everything seems like it’s going to Hell.

Accept what cannot be changed.

You cannot change the past. What’s done is done.You cannot change someone into the person you want them to be. Our ideal of who someone should be is unrealistic. Even if the only thing you want is the best for them. Because they have to be willing to change themselves.

Take one day at a time. Set goals for yourself and get them done.

Stay focused. Being focused is what keeps you on task. Having the motivation and passion is what pushes you to do your absolute best.

Be so busy loving your life that you have no time for hate, regret or fear. Because you don’t want to go through life feeling bitter. It’s not a bearable feeling. Go throughout this year stress-free. It’s guaranteed to make you feel lighter.

A lot can happen in a year. People die, new family members are born. Old friends fade away and new friends align with the new you. A lot can happen in a year so no matter what, don’t take this year for granted. Live your best life.

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.
