Be The Change You Wish To See In The World
Camry Bowers

Often, many of us forget how blessed we truly are. A reminder for yourself is to "count your blessings not your problems."

"I will never forget you. See upon the palms of my hand. I have written your name." (Isaiah 49:16) This is a promise Gods made. He hasn't forgot you. He's preparing something better than you can imagine. He's handpicked someone just for you. He has chosen someone that will help you grow closer to Him. He will always be faithful to you.

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7) When we go through hard times, it's easy to get discouraged and lose hope. I am guilty of worrying about things, who isn't? I over worry everything, but I have come to realize that we must give all our worries to God. Sometimes we don't get what we want, so we assume God hasn't heard our prayer, but God is always listening. There is never a prayer that goes unanswered.

God has plans for you, Jeremiah 29:1 says, "For I know the plans I have for you" declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Gods plan may not always be clear, but God has a plan for your life that exceeds anything that you could have ever planned. Trust God, he has a perfect plan. Don't go thinking about what all could go wrong, instead think about everything that could go right. Negativity is a poison that drains your mind.

Main thing: having a positive outlook on life by surrounding yourself with the right people.

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.
