Be You, Be Bold

We are all so unique, why hide it?

Sometimes there are things that we want to say, but just can't get ourselves to. Sometimes there are things that we want to do, but the fear of actually following through is holding us back. Sometimes we filter what we say, because we are afraid of what others will think.

What we should be doing is saying how we feel, not holding anything back. What you want to say, needs to be heard. What you are thinking is important and should be shared. We need to stop being afraid of what others will think. We have so much to offer the world. Instead of shying away from what you feel and what you want to say, say it. Be confident in yourself and don't let the fear of judgment stand in your way.

If you want to be adventurous, then you can't let the fear of trying new things hold you back. There is so much to see, so much to do, and letting that fear keep us from seeing and doing those things would be devastating. Go adventure, do something you never have, and be bold.

Don't be afraid to be yourself, either. So many of us are filtering what we say, changing what we wear, and pushing down our personalities in order to blend in. Scratch that. Be you, be outgoing, be goofy, if people don't like that about you then you'll find people that do. We are all so incredibly unique in our own way and it would be a shame if each of us weren't sharing what makes us standout with others.

Be You, Be Bold.

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.
