Obviously, not literally, but you are amazing, you are awesome, and you are the man/woman. You are kicking lifes butt like a champ, so keep on keepin' on!


2. You are unique

If theres anything that you should be telling yourself everyday its this. You are the only person in the world that can think the way you do, work the way you do, and slay the day the way that you do. Don't forget how special you are in this crazy world that we live in.


3. You are enough

Whether its because of a crappy relationship, job, experience, friends or even family, always remember to tell yourself that you are enough. Being enough does not mean you a superior or perfect human being, but it does mean that through your hard times in life you accept yourself as the amazing person you are today.

4. If it does not make you happy, drop it

There are times in life when we hold onto things that don't even make us happy just for the sake that we hope one day they will. Holding onto things is more difficult than letting them go. However, if you find the strength to drop the load of things that do not benefit you in any way or make you happy, drop it. Move on and find something or even someone that appreciates you because life is too short to be anything but happy.

5. Things will work out

No matter the obstacle you are facing in life at the moment just remember that things always happen for a reason. When one door closes another one opens. And i know you are probably rolling your eyes at that last sentence, but its true. If someone does not work out for you, then there is a bigger and better thing coming your way. Just be patient and let things go on as they may because things will work out in the end.

6. You cannot change the past

As much as we like to try, we cannot change the past. The only type of control we have is right now in the moment. We cannot wish away the past, but you should do is let go of it, move on, and create a fresh future.


7. You are needed

Somedays, we feel like the world is moving so fast and everyone is living their own lives that we feel like we aren't needed anymore. We like the feeling of being needed because it gives a purpose, a goal, something to work for. Although some might not say it out loud, you are needed.

8. If it doesn't challenge you, it won't better you

It seems that everything we try to accomplish whether that be in school, at home, in relationships, or for our careers, the things we want the most are the most challenging to grasp. Its like the whole universe is against us and not matter how hard we try to make things work, there i a huge obstacle in our way at all times. However, once we get over all the obstacles and we get the reward in the end, the feeling of accomplishment is that much better. What is good for you will challenge you, so take the challenge head on!

9. You are going to be okay

Throughout all of the struggles you have encountered in life you have made it this far. You are everything and more that you set yourself out to be and in the end, you will be okay.

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.
