Be Kind And Pass It On
Israel Ekanem.

Being nice is not that hard. It seriously isn't hard at all. I have learned in my years that being nice truly pays off in the end. It really does. People will remember when you have been nice to them, and it could really brighten someone's day. Being nice to someone could make or break their day and sometimes people really might need it. A smile or a compliment could really send someone over the moon with happiness. I believe that being kind really can improve someone else's day as well as yours. When you exude positive vibes, more than likely positive vibes will come back to you. It is very easy to be a nice person, and it doesn't cost you anything. Literally nothing. Kind looks and compliments are free. For example, if someone is having a bad day, one nice thing you say could turn their day around. Some of my best friendships have came from just being nice and attracting the people I love to be around. I promise that purpose will remember the kindness that you pass on. Being positive and having high energy are qualities that are often missing in some people. I don't believe that anyone should live out their days in misery. It isn't healthy and life is awful if you live that way. Even if you have a bad day, don't take it out on other people! If your day has been horrible, it is not a stranger's fault. If you woke up and the day started off bad, do not take it out on other people. Everything happens for a reason. It really does. Every event that occurs happens because it is suppose to happen. You can control the outcome of some events, though.What I mean by this is something simple--don't be rude to someone just because your day was bad. It isn't nice to take out hard feelings on someone else.No one deserves to suffer for something bad that happened to you. I believe this is where patience comes into play, and realizing that not everything is going to work out in your favor all the time. I make it a point to be kind and try to make others happy. Of course, even I have bad days but I try to not let that affect how I interact with other people. Just because I'm not having the best day doesn't mean I shouldn't try to make others have the best day possible. It is so easy to be nice to someone and it feels awesome when you make someone smile. Being kind to someone can be something as simple as complimenting their outfit, or something as huge as buying them a present they have wanted for a while. It doesn't matter what you do so long as you try and be the best version of yourself everyday. So really-- be kind and pass it on, you never know who might need it.

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.
