How Purchasing A Globe Can Change Your Life

If you invest in a globe, you are likely to study that globe day and night.

You'll learn much from that globe, such as the fact that Nepal is located in South Asia, not Europe.

After studying your globe for hours on end, you will likely get the urge to travel, anywhere and everywhere.

You will make big plans to travel, but then remember that traveling costs money, money you don't have.

The desire to travel, however, will likely be so strong that you will decide to get a job in order to earn money and save for your big travel plans.

Once you have scored a killer barista job at the local coffee shop down the road, you will likely become a coffee connoisseur.

You will drink coffee every day at work and on the days you have off, you'll still stop by the coffee shop to get your daily fix.

You'll spend so much time at work that your coworkers will likely become your closest friends.

While most of your discussions with your coworkers will revolve around which blend of coffee is the best, you will also begin to make plans to spend time together outside of the workplace.

The following Saturday you'll have your newfound besties over for a game night. There, you'll likely discover the endless hours of fun boardgames have to offer.

You'll have game night the following Saturday as well.

And the next week.

And the week after that.

Game night will likely become a weekly tradition. Soon, your guests will start to bring snacks and beverages to pass.

These snacks will make game night so fun that you, yourself will start to make snacks for the weekly night of fun.

What will start as bags of pretzels and M&M's will evolve into three-tiered cakes and fancy appetizers.

You'll want to impress your friends at game night with your cooking skills, so you'll likely join a ten week baking class to learn more.

This baking class will not only improve your skills, but it will provide you with more treats than you are able to consume on your own.

You'll start passing out your new creations to your neighbors to indulge in.

Your neighbors will rave about your mad abilities to bake and may even start paying you to bake for their children's birthday parties.

You'll start spending all your weekends baking cupcakes and delivering them to birthday parties for various aged children who live on your street.

Being around so many kids would likely be exhausting for most people, but you discover you love it.

This will get you thinking about jobs that allow you to spend time with children all day, every day.

One night, after researching career options for hours, you'll decide upon being a grade school teacher.

Years will pass before you can officially become the first grade teacher you dream of being, but you'll make it eventually.

On your first day, you'll be bursting with excitement.

Upon entering the classroom, something will catch your eye.

A globe.

That globe will remind you of the globe you used to own as a young teenager.

You'll remember the job you got in order to save money to travel. And the friends you made at that job. And the endless games you played with those friends on Saturday nights. You'll recall the stiff snack competitions you used to have and your obsession with baking that led to taking a class on it. You'll smile as you recall how impressive you used to be with a piping bag in hand. Each birthday party you baked for will replay in your mind and you'll recall each little soul that came up to you and thanked you for the pretty cupcakes that made their birthday party perfect. You'll remember that as the very thing that motivated you to become a teacher.

And at that very moment, you'll realize that without that first globe you would have never evolved into the person you came to be that day.

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.
