The Most Important Thing In Life Is To Be Yourself

In This Article:

This world is full of different people with different lives, cultures and personalities. This world is full of wonders and there is a lot of unique people in this world. There also can be a lot of darkness. The society we live in is focused on perfection. Perfection with looks, personality and success. We live in a society that focuses on money and popularity. It is easy to lose yourself in the society we live in today. So, here are some important things to keep in mind.

There is no such thing as perfection...

We get so much stress put on us to look perfect and to act perfect. We get a lot of stress on us to be successful and to make a lot of money. The likes and followers we get mean something even when we don't want it to mean so much to us. Popularity and the need to be liked takes a toll on a lot of people. To get these things sometimes we start to lose who we are because we are trying so hard to be somebody we are not.

Being different is a beautiful thing...

There is a beauty in uniqueness and everyone has it. Everyone is unique because no one is the same. People can be similar to each other but they will never be exactly the same. We all have interesting minds that work in mysterious ways.

Everyone has their problems...

Each of us have problems we need to face and demons we need to conquer. Everyone has been through something because no one's life is perfect. Someone's life may seem perfect on the outside but you will never truly know what goes on in the inside. You are never alone when it comes to facing troubles.

Beauty comes in many variations...

Everyone finds different things beautiful. Everyone finds someone beautiful and everyone thinks something is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen. Beauty doesn't have one meaning like society says it does. Beauty is in everything which means everyone is beautiful.

You have lost enough, don't lose yourself too...

You are the person who can get yourself through a lot which means you must remain true to yourself. You can lose a lot in life. You lose loved ones, opportunities and friendships, but you shouldn't let yourself lose you.

There are many important things in this world. Family, friends and love is very important. Everyone has something that is the most important thing to them. Your happiness and staying true to yourself should always be a top priority. You matter and it is important to always be yourself because it is a waste of a life to be someone else.

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.

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.
