Everyone has those days, the days where it seems like a dark cloud is following you around and the sun is nowhere in sight. There is no visible light at the end of the tunnel.

Days like these seem to be the longest, all you can think about is how badly you just want the day to end and for something good and exciting to happen.

Instead of waiting for something good to come out of your day, make something good come out of your day. There's a saying, "Good things come to those who wait." An alternative to waiting is getting up, and doing something about making a good thing happen. If you go out there and make it your mission to make your day or week. or month better, it will get better.

The next time you're having one of those endlessly bad days, do something that makes you feel good. You can't control the endless amounts of work you have to do or the negative attitudes of other people, but what you can control is your own attitude and how you let these things affect you.

Eat some chocolate, go for a run, read some inspirational quotes, speak to someone who will make you laugh, make someone else laugh. All of these little things can truly make the biggest difference in your day; they could add the little ray of sunshine your daily needs.

Yes, bad things can happen in a day, but that doesn't mean you had a bad day.

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.
