Do People Actually Want President-Elect Donald Trump To Fail?

This past election has been, to put it lightly, controversial. Between a political outsider who has never been directly involved in politics, to someone who was under investigation from the FBI. It seems as if this has been the most polarized election that America has ever had, a year of extremes.

However, no matter the rhyme or reason, the outcome is that Donald Trump is going to be the President of the United States on January 20th, 2017. As a result of this and the fast approaching Inauguration date, I have heard a lot of negativity. It seems as if you can't get on the internet or watch the news without seeing protests. Now, I'm a firm believer in standing up for what you believe in, and I believe that it's a Constitutionally given right that you may do so. However, I also believe that it comes to a point where you have to accept that some things are going to happen -- whether you like it or not.

Of all that I have heard about our upcoming President, what bothers me the most is that some people are actually wanting him to fail. That's right -- I have read (on various forms of social media) that some Americans want Donald Trump to fail as President. Now, regardless of your political ideologies, it is absolutely ridiculous to want the leader of your own country to fail, just because you disagree with him. We are one country, all in this together. If he is a horrible leader, then it is all of us that are going to suffer -- regardless of who you voted for.

Democrat, Republican or Independent Come January 20th, Donald Trump will be the President of the United States. If he fails, we are all coming down with him. It's time to start praying for no only the country, but for the leader that will step into power.

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

Romans 13:1.

It's time that we trust that, even in the face of adversity, God is in control.

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.
