Hype Yourself up.

Are You In Need Of A Confidence Boost Today?

Let me start by saying, STOP!

Stop caring about what other people think of you.

I know that you want others to think the very best about you, but you cannot live your life when you constantly care what other people may think of your actions or how you look. Care about what you think of you!

HYPE YOURSELF.

People get too into trying to impress the next person, when everyone should focus on impressing their selves. Impress yourself by studying hard, keeping yourself healthy, going for and accomplishing your goals. Impress yourself by being the very best you you could be.

You do not need other people's validation in order to be happy or to have success.

Just be you, for you. Either people will love you or hate you - but the ones that truly love you will always be around. Surround yourself with positive people, people that will pick you up when you fall down. Get rid of the negative because, remember, you don't live to impress them!

DEFEND YOURSELF.

Not only should you stop caring about what others think, you should stop letting people speak negatively about you.

Someone spreading lies about you? Confront them. Someone say or do something to you that hurt you? Speak up about it. Do not allow anyone to get away with making you feel unworthy, unattractive or unsuccessful! Tell them how you feel and get rid of the negativity once and for all.

Bottom line; pick your head up, dust the dirt off your shoulders and keep it pushing. Allow no one to stop you from getting what you want in life. Allow no one to make you feel bad about yourself. And allow NO ONE to stop you from impressing yourself!

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.
