Be Content In Life

You should be happy where you are!

Be Content In Life

My entire life, my absolute goal has been to be content. Not over the top happy, not the annoying level of inexplainable joy that some people seem to possess, but just content. To me, it is so important to be happy in the shoes that you are in and be comfortable where you are rooted. That's what being content is really all about.

I've always been happy with my life and I've known that at the end of the day that no matter what happens, it's part of a plan that is much bigger than I am. If I get in a bad situation, get in a fight with a friend, lose someone that I care about... I know that it's part of something that is greater than me. People get removed from our lives, and no matter how bad we want them there, sometimes they don't belong and we have to accept that. God has a much better plan for things than I could ever have, so I know that His plan for me has a perfect ending that I couldn't even choose for myself if I wanted better. Because of this, I've been content.

I have faith that no matter what, the plan will work out. I'm just content where I am because I know my path is going to be great. Even if I don't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, once I get to the end, there is going to be a wonderful finish. Whether it's with my future career, a friendship, my love life, anything.. I'm super excited for all that is going to come and trust that it is going to be great.

So if you ever get in a tough situation, feel bad, and feel like things aren't going your way.. Know that it is okay. It's fine, it's going to work out; just be content where you are and you will be the proud owner of a beautiful life. Think of a good book- there are highs and lows in the middle, but the ending is so good. Think of your life that way and be thankful for where you are.

Be content. Have faith. Trust that things will work out in the best way for you.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
