Until you recognize the negatives in your life, you will not be able to prepare to tackle it all. Here are just a few ways you can take negativity out of your life:

1. Realize your worth.

You are too wonderful and amazing to be destroyed by negativity. Believe me, negativity can, and will, destroy you and your life. Once you see your true value, you will realize that you are worthy of more happiness and less negativity. Know what your values are in life and live by them. If you don't believe that you are worth happiness and light, you won't receive it; that's just how it works.

2. Get mentally prepared.

Letting go of negativity is not going to be easy. Letting the bad things and bad people go does not mean you have hate in your heart. It just means that you love yourself and give permission to yourself to be happy. Come to grips with eliminating negativity from your life and what that will mean for you and your life.

3. Identify the negatives in your life.

Until you recognize the negatives in your life, you will not be able to prepare to tackle it all. Write it out. The names, the emotions and the things that funnel negativity into your life. Negatives in your life are like weeds in a garden and positives are like flowers. You are going to have to remove negatives to allow room for positives in your life.

4. Detoxify your life.

Limit, avoid and eliminate your interactions with the negativity in your life. Get rid of anyone who lies to you, disrespects you, uses you or puts you down. Stand up for yourself and be strong. If you can't somehow remove negatives from your life, try to turn those negatives into positives.

5. Shift your focus.

Create a plan for making your life better. Without a plan, you may find yourself searching for something that you will never find. Without the distraction of negativity looming over you and your life, set forth with the intention of being happy.

6. Surround yourself with positivity.

To ward off the negativity from your life, surround yourself with happiness. Do things that make you happy and be with people that make you happy. If you put positivity into the world, the world will put positivity into you. Negativity cannot infiltrate your life with a barrier of love, light or happiness around you and within you.

7. Be consistent.

Maintain order in your life and be consistent with your positivity. If at any point, you allow negativity and darkness to access your life, you are leaving the door wide open for more negativity. Negativity is a never ending cycle. You have the power to break it and remove it.

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.
