Congratulations!

You've made it this far in your life, and you've pushed through everything so far. We may not know each other personally, but I'm proud of you. Today I feel like we don't hear positive things as much as we should, so I want to start a trend in which helps people feel more appreciated and empowered.

I'm incredibly glad that you've done your best in life, and I want you to continue chugging along. No matter what anchor tries to pull you down, you're strong enough to pull it along. Life has moments that suck a lot, I know, but at the end of this deep abyss, I promise you, there's another light. A light that'll shine brighter and brighter as you keep striving for greatness.

Hear me out and don't take this the wrong way, but I hope you never feel totally satisfied. Now it sounds like the complete opposite of my beginning, right? No, I hope you never feel completely satisfied because I want you to always know you can do more. It doesn't matter if you've successfully opened a business and it's flourishing, there's always more you can do in your life.

I hope you don't live paycheck to paycheck because you are worth more than minimum wage. You are worth the high-class life you hope and dream for, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. High-class doesn't have to mean wealthy, it could mean living in a one story home with your more than perfect family.

So thank you for being here still and thank you for sticking through the bad times, because one day you'll be able to do more than you could ever imagine. If you don't believe me, you should read Angelina Jolie's story before becoming extremely successful. Anything is possible.

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.
