Be The Change That You Wish To See In The World

Sometimes things don't go your way and the world appears to be crumbling down around you. You are constantly slammed with bad news and feel like you've been hit by a semi. Sometimes it is hard to see the light of things when you've been surrounded in darkness for so long. The thing is, life won't get better unless you make the first step to make improvements. If you don't like what is going on in the world then start becoming the change you want to see. Be there for people who need help, look for beauty in bad situations, and let happiness come to you and fill you up. Be love in a world filled with hate and keep a positive mind during negative times. You'll be surprised to see how far a little love and postivity will take you. With so many bad things happening lately, here are some quotes to maybe bring some inspiration and peace to your life.

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.

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.
