A Short Pep-Talk

Because everyone could use a little cheering up.

A Short Pep-Talk
Elissa Croslin

You can feel the fresh ground beneath your feet.

Today is a new day. Today is the day to start over. And today, there is a new you, a more refined and changed you.

The day looks to you with a smiling face of hopeful opportunity you are overjoyed to embrace. You are anew with rest and, hopefully, breakfast in your tummy. You walk forward recognizing how brave you are to face this cruel world, while also recognizing the joy and light emitting from you, constantly changing the world minute by minute.

You continue to keep your own views and morals, but you must allow some of your opinions and ideas to be shaped by others you respect and look up to. You don't change yourself to benefit others but, instead, to better yourself.

Everything is constantly changing around you, and sometimes, it overwhelms you. It maybe even leaves you feeling like you are lagging behind and useless, but this is so far off from reality. You are evolving and changing every day. Growing stronger to the challenges you face.

Your heart, at times, may feel heavy... but that's from all the love you hold and cherish. You recognize the good in people, and you send love right back out into the universe.

You have been through so much. Yet, you should be so proud of all you accomplished.

You are worthy, and you are more loved than you ever thought.

The day brings it's best to you, and you are more ready for all you encounter than you think.

The next day seems a little sweeter, with your feet dragging less and less behind you.

You are growing to be all you ever imagined and more. You are cherished. You are good enough and, most importantly, MORE than enough.

Take it easy on yourself. You went through so many battles, and you deserve a break.

Breathe in and out... Today, you can change the world. Bring about peace and kindness with each word you speak.

You got this.

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.
