Remember you are not alone!

Having a bad day?

Having a bad day? Put your hand on your heart. Do you feel that? It is called PURPOSE! You are alive for a reason. Do not give up. We all have those days where we just want to go lay in bed and never get up! Trust me I have been having those days a lot lately. You just have those days were it is like your whole life is coming apart. Just remember that it is a bad day not a bad life. Life is about 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Have you ever heard of progression to the mean? Well it means that life has a way of balancing things out. Things cant always be bad at some point things will go back to the middle. So if things have been a little rough for you lately just remember progression to the mean. Know that you are stronger than you think! Be strong now because things will get better. It may be stormy now, but it never rains forever. I know that it sucks now, but things are happening for a reason. It is just a lesson well learned. I am not much of religion talker or however you want to put it, but I do believe that god has a plan for us, it is just our decision on what path that we take. He wouldn't put you through something that you couldn't handle. I was raised in a household where giving up was not an option. Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters. If your having a bad day talk to someone about it, I know that I always feel better when I talk to someone about it, no matter if it is my best friend, my mom, my grandmother, or daddy. My dad has a wonderful way of always cheering me up when I am having a bad day. You know he never fails to be their for me, no matter what it is or where. so no matter the day your are having as long as you surround yourself with people that love and care about you is important. You know when life gives you a million reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. You were given this life because you ARE strong enough to live it. It is going to be difficult, but do not let it get the best of you. You know and sometimes you just have to create your own sunshine. At the end of the day you are still breathing and you got through it. The struggle you are in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow. If you are reading this, then you have SURVIVED up until this point. You survived through traumas, heartbreaks, devastation, and the different phases in your life. And here you are!! Do not let one little bad day ruin your week or your month. Brush it off and live for the next day!

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.
