It is totally normal to be scared to leave your comfort zone, everyone is nervous of the unknown.

However, at some point, you must learn to be okay entering a situation not fully knowing the outcome. In life, so many people say no to opportunities solely because they are not fully comfortable with the thought of it.

It only takes one time of saying yes to change your whole mindset on a situation.

Saying yes is so important to create new memories and accomplish things you never knew you could. No one has ever made a difference from never allowing their self to venture into the world of unanswered questions. It never hurts to just trying something new. There are so many reasons not to, but the possible outcome of finding a new passion, learning a lesson and forming a bond with new people, outweigh all of them. I understand it is scary, but it is necessary to take a risk. If someone asks you to hang out and you would rather lay in bed, just say yes! If someone asks you to go on a weekend getaway even though you have never been to the destination, say yes! For all you know, that could end up being the funniest memory you ever create. Do not allow yourself to sit on the sidelines and watch your peers grow into a new person simply from trying new things. Remember, it is just as scary for everyone else to try new things, but they all end up okay – and you will too.

If you take a chance and things don’t go smoothly, it is a lesson that you can grow from.

There is so much the world has to offer if you are willing to accept it, learn about it and try it. Each person only has so much time in their lives to change their self, so do it while you can. Don't be so quick to shut an idea down the second you hear about it. We are growing up in an age where the world is at our fingertips and we must take advantage of the opportunities that come with that. With that being say, learn to be okay with doing things you normally would be opposed to, try something new every single day, no matter how small it may seem. Allow yourself to be okay with not knowing the outcome of a situation, but still saying yes to it.

Change is inevitable in everyone's lives, but how we deal with it all varies.

Be the person that embraces it with open arms and goes with it. Use the unknownto find new hobbies in your life that you would normally never expect to do. Start to say yes and you will benefit in so many ways.

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.
