Drop The Mic, Deepak Chopra

You are a spiritual being having a human experience.

Drop The Mic, Deepak Chopra
HUFFPOST OWN

In my dreams I wish I could fly to Seattle for a weekend, and just clear my mind of everything and then come back. But I can’t do that, nor do I have the money to do that. Most of my dreams are so far out that I need to sit down, relax and see what is going on around me. I always seem to do the opposite when this happens, so instead I finally stepped up to the plate, and did what I knew I needed to do. I relaxed, and watched something I had seen on TV before but never openly watched until now… Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. I went in with an open mind and a learning soul. I came out a new person with a new perspective on life.

Deepak Chopra was the speaker at this particular one that I watched, and he basically changed my perspective on how I see, think and feel. "You are a spiritual being having a human experience.” Let that sink in, and really sink in deep. We are a spiritual being having a human experience. He also said, "Our body is an activity happening to us." We are a spiritual being with a human experience and we are not in our body, our body is in us. My mind was officially blown with all of this coming at me, and I was beginning to understand. But what made it even more mind blowing, was when he said this, "The whole universe is in you."

Drop the mic, Deepak Chopra, drop the mic. We need to be fully aware of the presence instead of being caught up in the future or the past. We need to seek the moments that we are given right then and there. We have so much to offer, and we’re just doing minimal. We’re just doing enough to get by, and live every day to the end, not the fullest. When we learn to connect with nature, the world, the universe, our mind and soul, it begins a beautiful journey.

This week has been a week, to say the least. I know that I will probably have more weeks like that, but I know now where to go. I know I have a better understanding of the bad days and that the good out weighs the bad. This life isn’t meant to just exist, we’re suppose to jump off the edge and seek adventure. I’m ready to do that, are you?

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.
