8 Life Lessons As Told By Tony Soprano

If one thing is for sure mob boss Tony Soprano does not deal with anything or anyone he doesn't like. You cross this Soprano, you get crossed off his hit list. Although the series is based on the Italian Mob and the way things work - mixing business with pleasure - there are some valuable lessons to be learned.


1. Don't take anything for granted.

Although 100 years may seem like an eternity, it's key to appreciate every moment, day by day. Enjoy the good times and think positive throughout the bad times.


2. There's always someone watching you.

Whether they're keeping tabs on you while you're rising to the top or noting every thing that you're doing wrong, there are fans and haters. Keep following your dreams and prove them wrong.


3. A wrong decision is better than an indecision.

Should I eat that slice of pizza or not eat that slice of pizza? Just do it, because you want it and you'll thank yourself while you're enjoying bite by bite.



4. Don't take s*** from anyone.

There comes a time in life when you realize that everyone is for themselves. If people don't want to worry about you, then why should you worry about dealing with them?


5. Your mistakes have consequences.

Just like karma, it will come back to bite you in the behind.


6. It's tough at the top.

In the Soprano business, nobody wants to see you shine, they want to take you down. It's key to stay strong and stay confident.


7. Family first

Through all the fighting and drama, they will always be there and have your back through the good times and bad.


8. Those who want respect, give respect.

You can't demand something if you don't give it? Am I right?

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.
