The Key To Bettering One's Life

The light at the end of the tunnel.

The Key To Bettering One's Life
Savanna Stevie

Hope.

A word that goes beyond its meaning and something that lives inside every single person.

It helps the world go round and is the reason people continue to get up every morning.

We do not know what our future consists of, so God created hope.

There is no such thing as a perfect world. Things go wrong and fear can sometimes take over us.

There are times when all there is left to do is to put your trust in God and your hope in the universe.

Sometimes, the outcome we hope for does not go our way, but we continue to keep that hope.

Life has its ups and downs, and that is how it goes, but there is more to life than what we can see.

We were taught that faith, hope, and love are the keys to a good life.

It does not matter if one believes in God or not -- hope is something that everyone takes part in.

The world is a scary place where scary things can happen.

If one does not pray for a better world, then we know that they are hoping for one.

And the world does not have to be a scary place.

People, a lot of times, find themselves in a dark place and the only thing that keeps them going is that light at the end of the tunnel - hope.

The word itself gets thrown around a lot, but it all comes down to how optimistic we are about it.

You hear it said in songs and sometimes even meet people who share the name.

Before a big test, you hope for the best because that is all one can do at the time.

It is a state of mind in hopes of a positive outcome to occur.

We not only can hold hope for ourselves, but we can also give it to others as well.

It has become something that is said multiple times a day without even knowing it was said.

Hope has the ability to keep people on their toes and to live with an open mind.

Not many things can do that to a person and that is why hope is so powerful.

When people who care for one another come together, hope is strengthened because of their bond.

Along with hope, of course, faith and love are two very important things to have as well,

But, sometimes all we are left with is hope.

Hope helps us to envision our future and motivates us to take the steps to make it great.

At the end of the day, hope can provide us with the key to making life that much 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.
