Change Can Be Good, Depending On How You Look At It

Having a constant good in your life may sometimes require taking a step back at the same time.

There are the good constants in life. The ones where you are able to love what you are doing for long periods of time without ever feeling like you will leave it or give it up for other things. Yet, what if those other things deserve to have a chance in this life of yours?

Depending on how one looks at it, change can be a good thing. While it may not seem that way at first, later it can show the true colors of what is to come next. It probably won't happen within a second, day, or month, but most likely it will happen to you soon.

Changing the course of what you always thought to be true can be frightening, especially when it had been something you were doing for the longest of times, but if your heart isn't in it anymore, then why continue to do it?

Not only are you wasting your time, but wasting whatever thing you were a part of and its time.

It's time to be comfortable with the uncomfortable because that's the only way you will get those experiences in life and learn what other types of things you like to do. You won't be able to experience what this world has to offer if you are stuck in the same location when you know that there is so much more out there for you.

The world isn't ending, you aren't losing your mind or your soul for that matter, everything will be fine even if it doesn't seem like it at first.

However, that can be hard to come by, but sometimes it just requires you to breathe, taking it day by day until you are able to put your all in what you truly love.

Learning to give up one task or something dear to you for the other one may seem like betrayal but it's anything but. If you truly love what you are doing, but you want to incorporate it into another aspect of your life and dedicate more time on that end, you deserve to have that opportunity to do so. If it will benefit you and you want it with everything in our being then you have the chance to get what you really want.

You aren't quitting, but continuing another part of your life that contains so much more for you to discover. You don't have to worry, because you will be just as good as what you did previously as long as you put the same effort into the next journey.

So often society puts people down for switching gears, but you can only learn to drive if you test out those gears yourself until it clicks. Cheesy, but hopefully the point gets across to the readers. Change has the opportunity to show your true talents and the endless possibilities that await. Try to look on the bright side of things whenever possible.

Goodbyes don't have to be the end-all be-all, maybe you can come back. That is if they let you (sometimes it be like that, but you just have to prove those folks wrong).

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.
