If there is one thing that is for sure in life, it is that life will throw you curves. When you least expect it, your life can get turned upside down. Hell, does life ever really go the way we want it too?

When life beats you up you need to be able to stand your ground, but also, make sure you are always the bigger person in a situation. When things aren’t going your way or when sometimes things just really suck, you’ll want to do whatever you can so the situation benefits you the most.

The hardest thing people have to learn in life is that not everything is always going to be the way they want it to be. Whining, complaining, or doing something that only benefits you isn’t always the best way to change the situation.

As hard as people will try to knock you down and bring out the worse in you, don’t let that happen. Do not let that happen. Prove that in this life you are the bigger person.

Being the bigger person in a situation sucks sometimes, but it also shows that you are the strongest and most mature person in a situation. In life, you are going to have to do things that you don’t want to do. You’ll just have to learn that in some way or another, you’ll get rewarded for being the awesome person that you are!

Always do what you know is right, not just what you want to do. In the end, being able to prove that you are the bigger person is something that no one can take away from you.

Being the stronger and more mature person isn’t always what you want to do, but it will make you an overall better person. There is nothing more important in this life than being kind and strong. There’s no better kind of person. Always be the bigger person, always be the best person you can be.

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.
