Why No Matter What Happens, You Need To Be You

Because you are unique and beautiful. "Break the mold"

Why No Matter What Happens, You Need To Be You
Bing

I like to think I am a pretty normal person. I have a good head on my shoulders and can tell what is right or wrong most of the time. However, I like to express myself. I think it is important for people to know who they are and what they need out of life. It might sound cliche, but get in touch with your feelings and know why you feel what you feel. You feel things for a reason, it is your mind and body telling you something. Listen to it and find out how to express yourself.

Think outside the box, do something creative and different. Do things that make you happy, no matter what it is. Pick up a new hobby, dye your hair a fun color, pierce your ear, do something that breaks the mold. You don't have to do everything that people tell you. You are allowed to be you. Don't let people try and change you, you can be who you want to be. Know what you want in life and go get it. Don't let things stop you.

You have control of your life and it is up to you to decide what is best for you. If you are following God's leading then things will end up alright. As long as you follow what is the best for you.

Don't tell people what they can and can't do. Let them do what they need to do. Just because someone is different than you doesn't mean they are wrong. Life is full of diversity and difference. Everyone has a unique story to tell. Everyone has experienced something different and they have seen things that others may not have. It is important that we share those things, listen, and learn from each other.

Life can get so busy and stressful. Everything we do is for others: your boss, your kids, your spouse, your teachers, your friends, your parents. When do we take time to just do stuff for us? Take time for you to just be you. Take a bath, read a book, do whatever you want to do. Go to a movie by yourself, Be comfortable with who you are. Love yourself and all that you bring to the world because you are great.

Take advantage of the beauty, the fun, adventure, the joy and love in the world. Life can be wonderful and can bring so much happiness if you let it. Sometimes you have to work harder to find it but it is always there. Find happiness in the little things. Create things that make you happy, because life is too short to dwell on all the pain and sadness. Things suck sometimes but it is your choice how you react to it.

Follow your heart and your dreams and don't let people stop you. Tell your story. Express who you are. Let your wild flag fly. Break the mold.

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.
