Focus On Right Now

Life advice thought up during a boring class.

Focus On Right Now
Frapress

Focus on right now. You aren't going to grow by constantly focusing on or crying over pain you've felt in your past. Everything happens for a reason and it's all to put you on track to get to the place you're supposed to end up at in the end.

If something feels wrong, end it. If it feels right, enjoy it. You don't know how long the good times will stay, so cherish the memories as they come. When times are tough, know that they will not last, so embrace the lessons that come along with them.

When someone offers you a hand, hold it. When they offer you a shoulder, cry on it. When they offer you an ear, speak to it. If someone offers you none of this, know when it's time to let go. In the end, you are all you have. Let go of the extra baggage weighing you down, and let your mind be free.

Focus on right now because it's the only thing that's guaranteed. Be at peace with where you're at, but never stop learning and growing. You're going to get stuck at times, and you're going to feel lost. You don't need to feel that way forever.

It's been said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Take a baby step even when it feels like a hundred miles. The next step will be that much easier.

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.
