When things go wrong, we can all agree it makes it hard to have a positive attitude. Sometimes you may feel like shutting down for the day and just doing nothing at all. But that's not doing yourself or anyone around you any favors. It sets you back in your goals and piles up your workload.

There are many ways that being more positive can help you have better days. Have you ever been around someone in a bad mood, and felt like it put you in a bad mood instantly? Being negative can definitely rub off on people. But being positive can also have the same effect.

Trying to be positive for yourself and the people around you can make the biggest difference. I feel like making a conscious effort to stay positive can make your day 10 times better.

One way to have better days is to start first thing in the morning. When you wake up, try telling yourself that no matter what it is going to be a good day. Doing that can make the most difference in the way you handle things that may be unexpected. If you have a positive mindset from the time you wake up, it can be harder to let your day be ruined by unexpected or negative things.

In everyday life, there are going to be little things that don't go your way that can dull your mood or get you down. It is inevitable that not everything works in your favor. But knowing that, it should make it easier to accept that issue.

Trying to stay positive, and not letting setbacks get you down is a sure way to have better days. If you start working on more positivity one step at a time, you can train your mind in a way to react better to negative outcomes.

I'm not saying that it is as easy as snapping your fingers to be more positive, but if you really try and bring more positivity into every day, you will see a difference. You never know what others around you are going through, and a smile or a good mood has the possibility to bring them so much happiness.

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.
