Whatever Life Throws At You, Through It All, Be Positive

We all have those moments in life where we are just stuck. Stuck in our tracks wondering what is going on or where do we go next. When you can't seem to put your finger on the problem and you wonder maybe deep down maybe something is not wrong.

Life is rough.

We are constantly running around making a life for ourselves, whether it be interreacting with people, supporting and caring for our friends and ourselves, adulting, navigating through the busy college world, or just living.

It is okay to feel like you are in a rut and nothing is going your way.

It happens to everyone.

No one likes it, but we need these low points in our lives to bring us up and teach us that we can do it.

Whatever life throws at us we can handle. We just need to believe in ourselves.

When we feel like we are not reaching that point of achievement or satisfaction maybe you have not reached that point yet.

Who knows.

Life works in mysterious ways, and you just have to trust the process.

You have to trust the idea that everything happens for a reason. We meet people for a reason, we experience things for a reason, and we are who we are for a reason. Nothing just happens.

We must keep in mind that in the end, you are the person who dictates your future.

Every day you wake up and make choices. Choices that will affect your future you.

It is all a learning experience.

You make your life the way it is. Either take what life throws at you or what people say literally or ignore it.

In the end, you know your worth.

Do things that make you happy and do not ever settle for less than you deserve.

Because you know what you want in the end.

Even if you have not reached that goal, you will.

Keep working towards your dreams and bettering you. Maybe your dreams have not become a reality because you need to experience some life before you get what you have been striving for.

Whatever it is, keep believing.

You will get there. You will have the life you have always dreamed of. Just be positive and trust the process.

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.
