How hard is to just be happy? So now that the growth of money is growing and we love money are we happier? Although there is an increase in the financial status of the newer generations, were no happier than those before us. The study of depression and anxiety go hand and hand. Although they are opposites of one another research has concluded that they both fall along the lines of our conscious emotions. Studies have shown those who live every day without planned actions are happier than those who plan every future event before its time.

However, what can we do to be happy? It solely lies in the genetic and biological make-up of the person being affected. There is a way to be significantly happier than you are. Not setting goals in stone. Yes, it's ok to know what you want to do, but pressuring yourself to do things at a set time makes it no better on your end. Keeping all objectives in the present creates a notable difference in your happiness. Doing things for someone other than yourself can benefit your joy. Volunteer work, for example, can bring happiness, because knowing that you’ve helped someone else gives you a feeling of fulfillment. Not doing the same thing all the time also plays a major part in your happiness status. Being able to predict every day as If you’re reliving the same day over and over isn’t the ideal situation. Imagine happiness as a state in which you’re filled with joy. It’s like getting a month long paid vacation time from work. That’s how you should think of happiness. Not something you must do to get the full fulfillment of being “Happy”.

The way you look at life also determines your happiness’. The difference between optimistic people and pessimistic people. Of course, we know Optimistic; hopeful and confident about the future, and Pessimistic; tending to see the worst of things or believing the worse will happen. Also, to be happy, you should practice not associating happiness with your goals. This is because when your goals are not met your happiness projects this emotion. People who focus on conquering a goal that they’ve created for themselves are not as happy as those who don’t. Just go with the flow, and do as you please always!

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.
