You can't rush good things

Patience is key to life.

You can go full force to life but some things take time and waiting. Those things cannot be rushed. With that being said it makes it feel like time drags on when it really doesn't.

If something does happen and it feels like it is slowing you down then maybe that is a good thing. It means there is something good to come. It's like baking a cake. you rush through the process of getting the batter together then you have to pop it in the oven.

Time slows down when you put in the oven right? You are so eager to eat the cake but it still is not done. When it is finally done you are happy and get to eat it.

Patience is key.

Stressed with work, school, or kids? Take a few deep breaths and breath. Everything will be fine. It takes patience to work with others no matter how bad you want to smash a head into a wall you have to be understanding. Things may not be so great for others.

Over time we see that patience is starting to wear down and we are getting more and more irritable with every little thing around us. No one is stopping and letting anything good happen.

Good things come with time. Nothing good comes from things that are rushed. Most rushed things are sloppy. It's time we all stopped and took time to smell the roses.

Because the most rushed thing is life and it seems like we all wanna grow up way to fast. Growing up too fast can be good or bad depending on how patience a person is.

You cannot rush into life with low patience and expect a good outcome. It can sometimes make situations worse than they are. Someone who goes into life with patience may see a better outcome with different aspects of life. Like a promotion, those things take time to achieve. You cannot just go into a place to get a job and expect to get a certain title. You have to earn it.

You earn it by working your way up. That is patience. Working for something without rushing to get it done.

Everything in life requires patience.

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.
