You Can't Let This Hover Over Your Life Forever, Right?

7 Things We Must Let Go Of
The Spirit Science

Everyone is constantly running. Running in circles that are filled with anxiety, tenacious behaviors towards jobs and people, attitudes that unravel when you least expect it from the people you least expect it from. We are constantly surrounded by a stressed and damaged world and the one thing we don't need to add to our daily issues are simple issues that can be resolved by rethinking events and thoughts you have towards others and yourself.

Take a deep breath; in and out. Believe in yourself and realize what the bigger goal is in life and move past these small things:

1. Hatred Towards Others

Get over it and yourself. Move on to something better and more productive. This isn't helping you to be a better person or grow in any faith with God.

1 John 4:19-20 states:

We love because God first loved us. Whoever says, "I Love God," but hates his brother is a liar. The one who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love the God who he has not seen.

We must learn to move on and be gracious unto one another.

2. The Need to Constantly Judge Ourselves (it’s good to do it every once in a while because you have to be on top of yourself in order to excel and change within your life, but you have to be chill enough that you can be calm and be yourself.)

We aren't perfect. No one is. So stop being so dang hard on yourself for little things in life you are working on!

3. Looking at others and judging them

So many people I come upon look a certain way and I have no thought that I would talk to them and then they become the most amazing people that I have met.

We need to quit this stigma that looms over us of judging people based on the clothing they wear, overall aesthetic, first words, first impression in general.

You have times when you haven't been on your A game and had to make an impression right? Give other's some slack.

4. Worrying What Others Think

If this simple habit is put to rest, I promise most of your life problems will be solved. Constantly worrying about what other's think will put you in a state of anxiety that never leaves and follows you everywhere. Let it go by being confident in all you are and what you are doing. Every move, every motive you have to do something in life, own it.

OWN IT.

5. Bad Relationships:

They slowly tear you apart and bring you down to the bottom. We know you want that guy/girl who keeps playing you but say GOODBYE.

Find a man who loves you for your beautiful soul, has his/her own opinion and can treat you right.

6. Tinder and Bumble and any “hook up” dating sites.

These sites are purely for people who want to judge people in 5 seconds or less. How horrible is it that people look at your first photo for maybe 2 seconds and then swipe left and never look at you again? That is not what we are about in this life of letting things go. Your anxiety gets driven up the wall and heart starts beating, wondering if the guy across the line thinks you are pretty enough and your interests match enough? Get a life. Move on. Meet people in real life. Enjoy those people in real life. Date them.

7. Worrying completely about your financial situation

You're never going to have enough money ok? So go travel and enjoy life. Find someone to sponsor these trips; go somewhere for a mission trip, some kind of cause.

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.
