It's True, Being Honest Can Be A Lead To Change

Honesty... this is something that not only every person struggles with whether it is with a secret, thoughts, or self-decisions that they have to make. This can be as serious as whether someone should eat that extra piece of bread, so if that person should lie to a loved one. They both fall under a different impact category, but they are all having to do with honesty and a specific impact of their own. Honesty can lead to losing a friend, or completely losing yourself; it is a quality that is very serious and is mistaken as something that does not matter. Honesty will open several doors for you. Everything will come for you when you start being honest with the world.

But this is where society is wrong, because unfortunately even when speaking with honesty you can say the right thing with the wrong spirit behind it. How you may ask; well you could say that someone should do something but it could end badly for them and benefit you. This would be a prime example of this.

This is why we as individuals need to stand up and spread more honesty with our actions this doesn't just go for mental, but physical actions as well. Meaning what we say, and putting our money where our mouth is. Honesty is the start of changing who you are and who you want to be. The worth behind this goes well beyond the current time. You will forever be known for your kindness, gratitude, and the honesty you shared with others during your time. Be honest with not only yourself but to every single person around you. This is why you always hear that "Honesty is the best policy." And this is why I motivate you all to be the start of the change and what change can be.

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.
