How Changing Your Habits Can Change Your Life

Bad habits are tricky things. A bad habit forms over a long period of time, and often goes unnoticed. Sometimes it takes a person pointing out these habits to really open your eyes to these issues going on in your life. Often this is not what anyone wants to hear either....and the truth can be a hard pill to swallow. But the first step in fixing a problem is realizing that there even is one. We as humans often like to think we know everything, but this is not the case. Each individual needs to learn & understand their flaws and their downsides, while simultaneously becoming aware of their strengths.

Every person's goal in life should be to never become complacent. That is why we have dreams and ambitions. We could be content where we are in life, or we can strive for more. I can guarantee that no one person has ever dreamed of being average. No one ever dreams of being over-weight, unhealthy, or bored with their lives. There are 24 hours in the day that we are given, and bad habits are what waste those crutial hours. Life is short, way too short to live life just going through the motions. I apologize if I am the one pointing out your bad habits or life choices, but like I said, the first step in changing your life is realizing you need to change it.

Some bad habits to get rid of are negative thoughts, negative people and negative talk. All of these things just weigh down heavy on one's soul. No one is perfect and will have these bad habits creep up from time to time, but the second you try to eliminate these factors, the better you will feel I promise you. Being humble and kind is one of the best things in life you can strive to become. Humble and kind people live life with a smile on their face, and they project that vibe onto everyone around them. Go enjoy nature, call your parents, drink tea, and be good to others. These are good habits that everyone should take on, and they will change your life. You will not longer let the "small stuff" bother you. You will stop being involved in drama or with people who are no good for you. Life is good peeps, remember that. Good vibes always.

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.
