Find The Speed Limit In Your Life

Take your foot off the gas pedal.

Find The Speed Limit In Your Life
Phoebe Lee

You will wake up, get in your car and head to your destination. With all the time you have in this world, you will step on the accelerator and drive a few miles over the speed limit. Almost everyone is doing this. Some go fast and some take their foot off the pedal. For me I constantly have my foot on the accelerator rushing to beat traffic, get to work, home or the gym.

Today, we live in a world where we have so much stuff going on in our lives, that oftentimes we rush to get from one place to another. We look at our speed limit as a "guideline" in life. So the question I ask today is, what is the speed limit in your life? Are you going too fast or do you need to take it up a notch? When you are on the highway or freeway, do you ever go above the speed limit of 65 MPH?

Sometimes having a speed limit is important in our lives. We have obligations and deadlines that we have to meet. Even more is that we rush through these deadlines and obligations in order to move on to the next thing we have to do. Sometimes we have to take a step back and slow down. Sometimes when we move too fast, we get in the middle of something we are not prepared for. Driving 80 MPH or 100 MPH in our personal life is not going to help us in the long run. Some people move too fast, that they end up on the wrong road. That is not going to get us anywhere.

Find your speed limit in life and slow down. I rather slow down and know what I am doing than to go fast and get in a situation i cannot get out of. It has happened before and it is not fun. It will just cause stress and anxiety. So find a speed limit and be patience with life. Take some nice peaceful back roads in your life. Make it a priority to slow down and evaluate where you are in life. I promise you will get to your destination soon.

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.
