As Many Stars There Are In The Sky

Just like the amount of stars in the sky, there are that many opportunities for you to shine.

For all of you who think that you can't become someone or that you can't do anything, I just want to tell you, that you're wrong. You are absolutely, positively, one hundred percent, wrong. dead wrong even if you prefer that saying. Every single one of us was put here to do something with our lives, to be someone we would be proud to be at the end of the day. We weren't supposed to just be born and then that's it, nothing really more to do. No, you were placed on this Earth to become someone, so stop thinking that you're worthless and find what you are good at.

Stop moping around, trying to get others to feel sorry for you and see what you can bribe away from them and get good at something and do that. There are so many people in this world who just munch off of other people and it's annoying. It really is because you were meant to do something yourself. All of us have something special about us and most of us are just content with riding on other people's success. You can have your own success if you work for it and actually do something about it. And I know that that may be hard for some, to actually work for something, but it's better than always being known as the person who leeches off of other people.

I can go on and on and on about how you need to find the inner potential in yourself and actually do something that you enjoy and stop believing everything will work out even though you have never done anything to benefit yourself but I'm afraid I'd start to sound like a hippie (the inner potential part) or my grandpa (the do something with your life part) so I'm going to stop. But, really, it isn't hard to actually put your mind to something and do it. It's so simple and you'll enjoy it so much more than just hanging onto to other people's lives and siphoning off their success. To be able to do something, get credit for and recognition...isn't that worth more than just barely scraping by?

You have a reason to shine, just like the stars do at night. Given, they are millions of years dead and we're alive but that's just a technicality really. It's more of a thought, a saying to get people motivated. Anyway, you have something to give to this world, even if you don't believe you do. You just have to find what it is and work on it so that your time on this Earth wasn't spent binge watching shows on Netflix and ordering take out because you're too lazy to cook something. Because sooner or later, you'll find that you haven't been anywhere, you haven't done anything that you always wanted to. You'll be in the same spot you were when you first started believing you weren't meant to do anything important and that will be such a waste, because you could have gotten up and thought, "I am important and I can prove it." But instead, you didn't believe in yourself and you didn't do anything and it will be such a waste.

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.
