5 Quotes To Live By

1. “The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.” – Unknown

Life is what you make of it. Everyone faces their own challenges, but the people who handle them with a positive attitude will only become stronger. They will gain self-confidence, and in return, live a happier life.

2. “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke

A lot of people believe that people who are good at something are just born with a God-given talent. This is far from the truth. The most successful people are those who work hard, no matter what. If someone is very smart, others believe that they are destined to be successful. Although things may come easier to them, if they're lazy they will not make it very far. What is the point of doing something if you're not going to give 100 percent effort? Live life to the fullest by working your hardest at everything you do.

3. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The only person in charge of your life is you. You control your attitude. You control your happiness. You decide what you're going to do with your day. As long as you believe in yourself, and are happy with the person that you are, nothing else matters. Who cares if people don't like you or support you - it's their loss. The people who matter and want you in their life will love you for you.

4. “Be the person that makes others feel special. Be known for your kindness and grace.” – Unknown

The most fulfilling thing is to see genuine happiness in the people you love. Ironically, selflessness comes with personal gains. You get to enhance someone else’s life, and in return gain a great sense of pride and purpose. Always be kind and nice to others. It’s not hard to be nice. It’s too easy not to do it.

5. “Live well, laugh often, love much.” – Bessie Anderson Stanley

It's as simple as that. Life is too short to spend time being in a bad mood. It's OK to feel sad or angry for a little bit, but it's important to get over it and move on. It's not worth wasting time over something that you can't change. Enjoy the people you're with, the experiences that you have and live life to the fullest.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
