Change Is All About Perspective
https://www.pexels.com/photo/macro-outdoors-perspective-rocky-268953/

Everyone sees the same world through different perspectives. We are all different and we all have different opinions, views, and attitudes. As life moves along, our perspective of the world changes. When we are children we have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about, and nothing to stress over. Children live in a life of bliss, but as we grow older we are shown the true realities of the world we live in.

Throughout our life, we begin to realize not everything is sunshine and daisies and through this process, our perspective begins to change. Maybe we aren't as happy as we used to be, as determined, excited, thoughtful, open-minded, or adventurous, I could go on and on. When the world shows us these faults we begin to think that nothing will ever be as easy as it once was.

Through changing my perspective of life, I have truly altered my overall attitude towards just about everything. Doing this may not be easy, but it is something that I believe is incredibly beneficial. When we realize that the world, is in fact, not out to personally get us something switches inside. People have so much hate or resentment towards things they forget to enjoy the good in life.

Changing your perspective is as easy as not letting every little hiccup affect your day. Learning how to forgive and forget, look past things, stop stressing and see the greater good will allow each and every one of us to live a full life. Altering your perspective is as easy as not letting negativity come in and ruin your day, or not letting the stressors at work affect your attitude.

We all have things in our life that we don't enjoy, or that we think aren't good enough. Humans tend to believe that every issue they are faced with is a problem when in reality it is just a learning experience. Learning experiences make us who we are today. They make us brighter, stronger, and more in tune with our body and outlook on situations.

When you love who you are and you love your life, you come to understand all it took was changing the way you look at it. Perspective really is key, and when you change it your life goes alters only for the better.

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.
