It's more than just a choice.

Choices can be tough, but being indecisive doesn't necessarily mean one doesn't make choices. Sometimes it can take longer to make a decision. Even if it's a decision as simple as choosing a movie to see or what kind of soda pop one desires. Here is a guide to thoughts that often cross the mind of an indecisive person.

1. It's more than a choice.

It's a life changing decision.

2. People might judge you.

What if you pick the wrong answer?

3. Some decisions are easy.

Deciding your future is simple. But, when it comes to picking between chocolate ice cream or vanilla problems arise.

4. Other times you can't choose.

Sometimes there are just too many choices, they end up passing you by.

5. Yet, many choices could change your life.

With decisions come pressure and it can just be way to much. So, it's time to take a step back.

6. Which choice is the right choice?

Often it feels like there has to be a right and wrong choice, however, neither the right, nor the wrong choice is apparent.

7. Then, there are those rare occasions you don't care or don't know.

What do you want to do, they ask. In this case it really doesn't make a difference to you.

8. Sometimes you want to choose both, but you can't.

Can I pick two, does it have to be only one? Or why not just choose all of the above?

9. Why can't someone else make the decision for you?

Wouldn't it just be easier to have another person choose for you. But, then again it may not be a decision that you like.

10. Decisions can be so frustrating.

If only it could be so automatic to make a decision.

11. Being indecisive isn't necessarily bad.

While it can be hard to be indecisive, it can often lead to better decisions in the end. Thinking through decisions can make the best decisions for you.

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.
