Disney's newest princess, Moana, tells the story of a young Polynesian woman fighting to know and follow her destiny. It's a true tale of self-discovery; no love interest to be found. At the beginning of the movie, Moana sings, "See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me," and she chases that calling throughout the plot. By sticking up for herself, trusting her intuition, and reclaiming the knowledge of her ancestors, Moana comes into her power. Read on for eleven gems from my new favorite, fem-powered, Disney princess (er-- daughter of the chief, according to Moana herself):

1. "I am everything I've learned and more."


2. "You've come so far."


3. "The ocean chose you for a reason."


4. "Nothing on earth can silence the quiet voice still inside you."


5. "Come what may, I know the way."


6. "Sometimes our strengths lie beneath the surface."


7. "[They] aren't the ones who make you, you are."


8. "Muscle up, buttercup."


9. "I can lead with pride, I can make us strong."


10. "Sometimes the world seems against you-- the journey may leave a scar. But scars can heal and reveal just where you are."


11. "You know who you are."


At the end of the movie, Moana sings, "The call isn't out there at all, it's inside me." In this line, she solidifies something that every girl ought to know and trust: everything you need is already within you. So stand tall, proud, and confident like the strong woman you are.

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.
