My Happiest Life

There is no better way to live our lives than relentlessly.

I remember being in grade school with inspirational quotes all hung upon the walls. I thought they were honestly a waste of money, but I will soon be a teacher hanging up those silly posters as well.

I've come to realize there is so much power behind making someone believe in themselves. It took me eighteen years to get to a point that I decided to be happy and listen to these silly confidence boosters.

You see, I wanted to change my major because I felt that that was what I was being lead to do, but I let the fear of the negative comments slow me down. I was unhappy with certain people in my life, and it took me way too long to decide that I wanted to make a change and replace those "friends" with people who truly made me happy.

We live a very short life, and with that short life you get limited time to make yourself who you want to be. I want to be a kind person that overflows with joy. I want to make a change in anyone who meets me. I want to make other people's lives better. That is something so impossible to do when I am not happy with my own choices.

If you want to transfer colleges to make yourself happy, do it without regard to the opinions of others. If you need to drop out of school to reach the potential God has given you, let nothing and no one stop you.

Every inspirational quote about being the best you you can be was right. We only have a short time on this earth and only one life to live. That life should be lived making yourself and those around you happy. Do not waste a life God has given you to do anything other than what He has called you to do.

Jesus has the best plans for us, and I honestly believe that there is no better way to live our lives than to live it relentlessly.

Everything you have done in the past is gone and out of mind. Your happiest days can be ahead of you no matter where you are in life. You can always improve the way you love yourself and the way you love others. Love this life you are given, and do everything you can to make it the one you want.

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.
