5 Benefits Of Thinking Positively As Told By Parks And Recreation

1. Your relationships will improve.

Once you think about the pros to the situations in your life, you will be able to look past the faults or flaws of others, allowing yourself to create more personal and meaningful relationships with those around you. Putting your differences aside may be the best thing you can do to get the most out of a bond between yourself and another person.

2. Better health.

Not only does being positive help with motivation to do more activities, but it also prevents sickness altogether; happiness is surprisingly one of the best ways to cure a potential period of sickness in the body. Having a positive outlook will also be encouraging, and you'll realize that your body and mind deserve to be cared for.

3. Your problems turn into opportunities.

A problem that may have previously seemed extremely frustrating or impossible can easily turn into an opportunity to do something better when under the positive power of your mind! Difficult endings or barriers may be a blessing in the grand scheme of things. After all, one door opens when another closes.

4. Things will be easier and more fun to do.

After adopting a positive outlook, you may find yourself doing things you were never interested in before. This is a great way to gain more perspective about life in general, and a gateway to having more fun! Even work or school has the possibility of becoming a positive thing in your life when you look at the upsides of it all, especially since time goes by way quicker when you aren't complaining about what you're doing.

5. You will attract more people and events.

People are more likely to come around you if you give off a friendly vibe, rather than a harsh one that can be hard to work with. Positive people attract positive events, so you're much more likely to have fun after changing your outlook. Realize that you're in control of so much more of your life. You may not be able to control the things that happen, but you CAN control how you see them.

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.
