Finding Yourself

Once you find who you truly are, nothing else matters.

Finding Yourself
Brent Levy

When trying to figure out who you are in this world and what you are meant to do, it can cause you to think for a long time.

It isn’t an easy task to just automatically know exactly what you are meant to accomplish in this world. If it were as easy as snapping your fingers, everyone would have everything figured out and there wouldn’t be questions that need answers. You can’t simply go walking outside and find the answers you are looking for right on the sidewalk. It takes years and many experiences to figure it all out. Because once you finally realize you have to wait for it to happen, that’s when it will happen.

It may not hit you like a bullet, but you will get it in waves. It is the most satisfying feeling in the entire world when you do have things figured out. It changes your perspective on everything you do. I can say from personal experience, finding myself has been the highlight of my life. It wasn’t easy in the slightest for me at all. I used to think maybe this is who I am, and I already found myself. But part of me felt like there was more to my life than I wanted to believe. Once I realized that and started living my life in a day to day basis, everything started to make sense.

Now I’m not saying you don’t already have it all figured out, there are people who figure it out right away. Or people who don’t have to question who they are and what they are meant to do, they just come into this world already knowing. Some might say they are the lucky ones. But I disagree. Figuring out who I am really benefitted me. It helped shape me into the person I am right now.

The journey is the best part about it. Once you find yourself, just know the journey isn’t over. You are always changing, always growing. You are never the same person you were the day before, let alone the minute before. You simply just found your place in the world and that, I feel, is what makes a person whole. It really brings you down to Earth and sets your mind in the right direction.

Now, go out there and find yourself, do what you want to do because in the end, nothing matters as long as you don’t regret anything and feel accomplished at the end of the day.

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.
