It's very easy to get down on yourself with you constantly feel like you're doing your best and trying your hardest - hell, you might even feel like you're absolutely killing it! - and no one stops you to say good job. It can be really disheartening and you might think to yourself, why am I even trying this much? If no one is noticing the work that I'm doing and putting into this, why should I keep going? Even though you sometimes work incredibly hard and feel like nothing good comes of it, I promise you that it will eventually pay off.

The right people always see the work that you do, even if it takes a while. They will notice you and they will say, hey, this guy or girl is really doing a great job and working his or her butt off! Sometimes, though, those people are the ones who don't say anything. Those are the people who watch to see if you'll continue to do a great job, even when you might not be getting recognized for it. They might be sitting on the sidelines thinking, are they just doing it for the pat on the back? Or are they doing it because it's part of their character? And when they see you continue to bust your butt, without any recognition, because you just want to do the absolute best that you can do regardless of recognition, I promise you they see your character. They will see your strength and grit and hustle, and they will be the first to reward you and tell you how great of a job you did.

Good things always come to those who hustle. Don't forget that. Those who bust their butts and hustle day and night so that they can make it to the top, working however many jobs and the longest hours ever, I promise good things will come. It may take days, months, years even, but people always notice those who are constantly moving their behinds and grinding away. Regardless of how it feels when you have little sleep and want to give up because there isn't a payout, I promise you'll look back and love how hard you worked because it will get you to amazing places.

Make sure that you not only bust your butt but recognize the others that do, too. It's not easy constantly grinding and always trying your best and it sucks when no one notices you, so make sure to appreciate the others who are doing the same around you. It's easy to say "no one notices me" but it's better to lean on those who know what you're going through and show appreciation for each other. It'll make getting to the top that much sweeter - because you had a friend who understood the grind along the way.

I promise you that your hard work will pay off. When it does, you'll feel extremely grateful and it'll be very satisfying. You'll appreciate those who saw you sweating your tail off and you'll be grateful for those who helped you along the way. Keep pushing, keep your head up and always stay hungry. It's beautiful when you feel like you've made it. Grateful

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.
