It Gets Better By Change

Change. It's important.

Everything changes but change itself. -- John F. Kennedy

Sometimes you get “stuck” in life. You don't feel passionate about anything. You adopt an inability to see a purpose for the mundane tasks in life. You lack all motivation to accomplish anything. This is a pretty basic scenario of what can happen when you repeatedly do the same tasks all the time and become particularly use to it. I know I have been feeling that way for a while now, but fortunately, I know where to start to become “unstuck..”

Change. It's important. Some people despise it. Some, like myself, love it. Throughout life, change is vital to our well-being and general success of life. Always remember, stagnancy is your enemy.

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” -- Henry Ford

From little things to big things, you should try new things.

For example, I recently cut my hair. I've always loved my hair and said I would never cut it short. Ever. I honestly thought I meant it. But over time, my hair became dry and the dead ends were terrible. I realized that if I wanted my hair to be healthy, I would need to cut it and start over. After cutting my hair, I felt different. My hair had been long since I was 14. I am now 19. It was something new, but I knew I needed it. Of course, that is an example of a very menial thing. But even the little things matter.

Life changes are so necessary for mental, physical and spiritual growth. You need it for growth and evolution.

If you're spending time with someone who negatively impacts you, remove them from your life.

Speaking to the college kids: if you're majoring in a subject you aren't passionate about, then find something you are passionate about. Only you can find that major, that's related to a career you can effortlessly spend your life doing and loving every minute of. You must go out and find it by trying the things you haven't before. Shadow a doctor. Build a robot. Volunteer at a park.

What made me want to cover the topic of change is that I've noticed way too many people who aren't satisfied with themselves or their lives, but they don't do anything to change it. I just want them to know that change is not only OK, it's amazing.

“Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It's your masterpiece after all”. -Nathan W. Morris

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
