8 Changes I Need to Make

1. Forget about what other people are thinking.

I often think about what others think of me too much. To be able to focus on me more than others is something I need to try more. I should try to believe that only my opinion matters, not anyone else's.

2.Just be happy.

I often times find myself feeling sad when I ought to be happy. I would like to change this about myself. Life is a beautiful thing and I should be happy to be living it.

3. Feel what I need to feel.

Feelings can be tough for me sometimes. I need to learn to just let myself feel what I want to feel.

4. Have thicker skin.

I am often too sensitive for my own good. I want to be able to have a thicker skin so things won't bother me as much.

5. Don't forget that I am beautiful.

At times just like anyone else I can feel like I am not the prettiest. However, we are all beautiful in our own special ways. I may need to remind myself of that sometimes.

6. Battle my fears.

Battling your fears can be tough at times but it needs to be done. You will never be free until you start to battle your fears.

7. Realize I'm not perfect.

I often times look at myself and think why can't I be perfect. However, the truth is no one is perfect in this world. We are all unique and that's okay.

8. See that it's okay to make mistakes.

Mistakes can often be mistaken for failure. They should be seen as ways to help us get to our goals. If you make a mistake, it is just a way of showing you that what you are doing isn't working and you should change 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.
