The New Year is approaching us. Every year, millions of people try to set a New Years Resolution. What will yours be? I have tried many times to set mine for losing weight or eating more healthy but have never stuck with it.

Why do you think so many people set resolutions but do not keep with it? A lot of people, like myself, set the same one each year. Losing weight and eating healthy.

People always make fun of there are new members at the gym instead of being supportive of those who want to better themselves they shame them. It takes a lot for someone to join a gym let alone work out in front of already fit and good looking people. It's hard.

They already took the first steps of trying to join and the problem is keeping up with it. It is easy to say they are lazy and don't want to make a difference.

Think about this. Instead of making a New Years resolution about losing weight or eating healthy, make one about being kinder to people. Having less hate in the world would be so much better, don't you think? Pay it forward. You always hear of these amazing stories of someone paying it forward. Make that your resolution. Do not judge people.

Make a difference... it will go a long way, even if it's something as small as buying the person's coffee or food behind you in line. Or buy some flowers at the grocery store and give them to the person behind you. Be a positive difference to someone in the world.

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.
