A Case Of Bad Luck

With good luck comes bad luck; it's a balancing act.

A Case Of Bad Luck
Rodas coaching

In life, one must go through their ups and downs. And let me tell ya, being a superstitious person myself, once you hit your downs it's hard to get back up. Bad luck is real folks and once you've experienced it it's hard to deny it. Bad luck can come in threes, or it can come all at once and hit you like a train.I've learned if I'm having a lot of "ups" and positive things are occurring, it won't last too long. This was proven once my good luck ran out and a series of unfortunate events began to occur in my life. (One being in a huge car accident right before final testing). Maybe it's that lucky bracelet you didn't wear with you or that unlucky sock, but the world may never know if bad luck, karma or superstition are actually real. One day you may feel as though the whole world is against you and wants to see you fail, and the next you may feel like you've conquered it all. Bad things that happen to you can really knock you down, and those experiences can put you in a slump. It can feel impossible to get out of a slump, but with a positive mind you can see the good in every bad situation.

Bad luck happens a lot in life, especially when you step back and realize how lucky you really are. People often take things for granted, but once bad luck strikes hard, it opens your eyes to how fortunate you truly are. The key is to grow from bad luck. In ways, bad situations can make you stronger, build your character and open your eyes to the world. If you think of it like this, in no time you'll be back on top! Don't let this bad luck cloud hover over you because, alas, everything is a balance!

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.
