Have Confidence In Yourself
tumblr.com

There are so many times where we sit and think to ourselves, wow, I would love to do this or go here, or achieve this, yet we stop and then doubt our ability to do so. Then we ponder on all of the opportunities we did not take. But if we just believed in ourselves in the first place, we would never have to think about what could have been ever again. Taking a chance and believing in ourselves will stop any doubts in our minds.

There is this fear of not living up to our fullest potential, and regretting it in the end. But there is a way that this could be eliminated completely:

Be more confident in yourself. When you have a mindset that allows you to believe that anything is possible, it is easy to achieve what you have always wanted to.

You have so much more to offer than you even know. You have amazing talents that have been hidden because you are not confident enough in your talents to show others the greatness you have. But you absolutely should be! Your talents are what make you so amazing. No matter what it is, you should know how important it is to express who you are through them.

Never let someone put you down for what you are good at. You know just how important it is to you, so that is all that should matter.

Why are we so intimidated by others that we become so incredibly self conscious about our own abilities? There should be no reason to restrain yourself from what you love most. Especially not because you feel as if you will not shape up to the same amount of success as another person.

Each of us has something unique that makes us who we are and we should not allow the fear of failing take that away. There should be a time where we feel confident enough in ourselves to go out there and express who we truly are through our talents.

So, forget about the fear of not being good enough or not comparing to others because in the end it will only hold you back from everything that you've ever wanted to accomplish. There is nothing you cannot accomplish when you are confident.

Yes, things can go wrong or not as planned but that is just how life goes. You need to know that you can recover from mistakes, pull yourself together, and change things for the better. So, again just be confident!

Stop living in fear and start living your life.

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.
