If You Need Some Perspective

Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

If You Need Some Perspective

It's easy to get caught up. Our culture puts pressure on us to act, look, and be a certain way. Our schedules are hectic. We have to make good grades, balance a social life, and learn how to be "adults", yet cry because we miss our dog at home a little too much. The pressure is intense, but in the midst of the craziness, we need to take a step back and look at the big picture. Isn't that what life is all about anyways? Take a moment to relax, take a deep breath, and put things in perspective.


God's plan will prevail. Trust in this and be at peace.

There is at least one person on this earth who would die for you.

Happiness is a choice.

Fall weather is coming. And that means one too many Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

You are so loved.

You WILL get a job and you WILL be successful.

You are powerful, and strong, and capable.

Don't sweat that one professor or that one test. Life goes on.

Tomorrow is a new day - cherish it.

The weekend is almost here.

So many people wish they could have your problems, insecurities, and stressors. No matter what, it could always be worse.

Despite how much you think about it, you are not defined by the past.

Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

There's never a bad time for ice cream, Nutella, or a cookie. Stop feeling guilty. Treat yo'self.

When you look in the mirror and immediately criticize, understand you are your own worst critic, and you are more beautiful than you'll ever know.

There's just 13 more Monday's until Christmas. THIRTEEN.

Your dog thinks you are the most awesome person on the planet - believe them.

You are smarter than you think. Regardless of your GPA.

Cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.


So when things get crazy and life seems to win, remember that perspective is key. Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

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.
