9 Things You Needed To Hear Today

Life man, it'll getcha. Sometimes it seems life can be the biggest bully, and she just doesn't know when to quit. Take a deep breath. I promise no matter how bad, hard, or impossible it seems today, it will get better.

1.) When life gets you down, you get right back up, fight back, and yell, "Is that all you got?" Remember that you are always stronger than you think. Don't doubt yourself, give yourself credit where it's due. After all you've come so far, and always celebrate your successes.

2.) Let the people you appreciate know you appreciate them, they'll easily forget. Let them know nothing they do goes unnoticed. Know the difference between the people who wear your jersey but aren't playing for your team and the people who are rooting for you to win.

3.) Didn't do so hot on an exam? Missing someone you shouldn't? Leave the past behind. You can't dwell on something you can't change. All the things that happen in your life shape and mold you into who you are. You don't always get to choose how you're affected by it, but you do get to decide who you become because of it. Make the right decision.

4.) It's OK to cry. Sometimes all you need is a good cry.

5.) Life is hard, but if it was easy it wouldn't be worth it.

6.) Always look for the good in others.

7.) Law of attraction. It is so important to have a positive mindset and outlook on life. Do good and you'll receive good. Attract what you are.

8.) Don't stop working hard. Like I said, you've come such a long way.

9.) Don't forget to be thankful today, tomorrow, and every day. Every day is a blessing. We often forget that when we open our eyes, someone is closing theirs for the last time; as we take in another breath of fresh air, someone is taking their last. And because of this simple fact, always choose life.

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.
