You Should Be A Source Of Empowerment And Here's Why
Preservation Of Moments

Today I'm going to discuss empowerment and why it's important.

I consider myself to be a source of positivity. I have a natural love for acknowledging others and empowering them. I don't think I have a reason, it's just how I am.

I just have a love for making people feel special because everyone is special. Everyone has a certain unique quality and I believe that it should be acknowledged more often.

A funny thing about compliments and empowerment is that we don't really believe those things until someone else says them to us. We just exist and we just take ourselves as we are and we don't really believe things until they come from someone else.

A key to empowerment is that you have to learn to empower yourself. You have to see everything you do. Everything you're capable of. You have to learn to love yourself and you will cross paths with the people you're meant to cross paths with.

Doing good brings good karma to you. Your efforts count. You'll cross paths with those people who truly make an impact on you and you'll make an impact on them too.

The most important thing is that you know you're being a positive force and it's not about what you get in return. You are genuinely being you and that's more than you can say for most people.

You take the time to pick people up instead of dragging them down. Far too many people forget that it's just as easy to be positive as it is to be negative. It's all about perspective.

You have to stay positive. The right people will find you. If they find you and they are an unstoppable positive force, consider yourself quite lucky, because it's rarer than we realize.

Be positive, before you get compliments and after. There's more to our existence than being at odds with one another.

I've probably said this a million times, but we are people. We are people living in the same lifetime, and we're all dealing with the same things.

We'd be doing ourselves a favor if we became a sounding board for one another. We're more alike than we realize. Keep in mind, I mean, equal, not identical. No one is the same. We are all different and that is something we should celebrate more often.

We should be open-minded. You never know who or what can impact you. You don't always have control of this impact, whether it be positive or negative, but there's a lesson that can be learned from everything.

I wonder sometimes. If you know me, you know that I'm very enthusiastic and supportive and I question myself if I go overboard.

I've run it past a few people, but everything seems to be fine. The reason why I question it is because I want to be a source of positivity, but I don't want to be a burden to anyone.

However, if someone who is overwhelmingly positive is the worst thing you have to deal with, it's not so bad. If you're having a bad day, I'll be there, spreading positivity. I guess my over the edge sharing of positivity makes up for all the positivity that isn't being shared around.

There's a possibility that I'm changing the world one person at a time, by being a positive influence. Good influence is always there for whoever needs me. My inbox is always open if anyone wants to chat about basically anything, I'm a sounding board to anyone who needs me.

Don't hesitate because I'll get back to you, always. If you need me, I'll be there because I never make promises I can't keep.

So, be a source of positivity and write to me if you want. I'm very friendly and you'll find out about my endless positivity sooner than later.

I hope whoever is reading this is having a marvelous day today!!

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.
