Girls, Stop Telling Yourself Lies

Have you ever wanted to start a trend? Have you followed the crowd and done what they are doing? Of course, we have. If we haven't, we are telling ourselves the biggest lies. Lies are the worst things we can tell ourselves!

One of the biggest trends out there is reading the book Girl, Wash Your Face.' I am very skeptical about reading books because everyone has a different taste in what they read. Trust me when I say once you pick up this book and start reading it you won't have a life. That's because you won't want to put it down. This book is so inspirational to women. If you haven't read it, pick up a copy and don't regret your choice!

Spoiler alert! if you haven't read this book yet, here is two main topics that I thought stood out. These include learning how to be the best you, and the fact that all good things take time.

Why did these stick out, let me just tell you! The first one couldn't be more empowering to women. As women, we tend to compare ourselves to others and wish our lives were like someone else's. We need to stop comparing and start living our own life. No one is perfect and that's what this book teaches us! We must be the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

The second thing it teaches us is is all good things take time. Each good thing might take a few weeks, months, or maybe even years. Yes, I did just say the word years! The author of the book Rachel Hollis even mentions it in her book that some things take years. If you're a movie fanatic, you will appreciate this. She even mentions it in her book how it took fifteen years to make the movie Avatar! That movie sold millions of tickets and was one of the biggest movies. So, a lesson we take from this is patience is a virtue and great things do come with time if we let them.

Girls stop telling yourself lies and think it's ok. Let's be real, you're only hurting yourself when you tell lies.

If you need a good read, I encourage all women to pick up the book 'Girl, Wash Your Face.'

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.
