Core Essence

What makes up the core of who we really are?

Core Essence

What defines the true essence of a person?

Is it the deep and intricate qualities from within? Or even their thought process on how to reach a conclusion?

Does essence reflect in a person’s physique? Or could it even be the personality they were born with?

Each person will have a different outlook on how they find the essence of someone.

What they value in one another will vary. What we reflect on ourselves, may not be seen by somebody and vice versa.

Over time, we slowly gather pieces from others. Pieces of joy. Pieces of support. Pieces of strength.

And all that together, only builds up our own essence. Our own personality. Our own views.

From that, creates an even better you. A stronger person. An experienced individual.

So I must ask, what is your essence?

Do you see yourself in a positive light? Or do you diminish the very foundation in which you were made?

It’s all about perspective. It is all our choice on how we view ourselves and others. And that viewpoint has power.

Power to destroy and power to lift up. Which are you doing?

The perspective we prefer determines the outcome of our life. What are you choosing today?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
