It's worse to feel regret and miss out on the memories and possible lessons learned.

7 Reasons To Have A Little Faith

Most people are scared to take a leap of faith; use a little push and spoonful of courage to do something that intimidates them. I am a believer that there are at least 7 positive aspects that can come from having a little faith and taking that scary leap. I hope next time you come across a point in your life, you realize that you'll regret letting it slip away rather than taking a little jump and having the courage to take one whatever outcome it brings.

1. God is on your side.

I am a witness to God's grace and although it does not always seem to be there and He does not seem to help us all the time, He is behind the scenes and helping us more than we realize.

2. If you fail, it’s a lesson learned.

I grew up hearing the phrase "Burnt hand learns best". As inconvenient it may be, sometimes the most valuable lessons learned are from mistakes made. If you have a little courage and work towards something you want, even if it does not have the outcome you prefer a valuable lesson can still come out of it.

3. You could succeed.

The obvious reason to work towards a big goal and have some faith is because you could be successful and accomplish your want.

4. Better yourself for next time.

With lessons learned are goals achieved, those can both be used to better yourself in many ways and help make you the best you can be.

5. Learn something new.

From the experiences made you can learn something new about others, yourself, or the situation, that can better how you go about situations later in life or help you with having more confidence in the future.

6. It can lead to future breakthroughs in your life.

You never know what that leap could lead to. It could be a strong friendship, a future love, greater goals and accomplishments built up from the first dive into action and life.

7. You will not regret taking that leap of faith.

One of the biggest pieces of advice those who are close to being done with life have for young people is the regret of not trying something new that scared them. To just have a little faith and take a lesson or accomplishment and have some courage to do what is intimidating or scary.

"As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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.
