Being Kind Has A Real Power, Especially For Us Girls

The world could use more kindness. There is so much power in being kind to people. The best people are those who radiate positivity and genuinely make you feel beautiful down to your soul. Those are the kind of people you want to surround yourself with. Those are the people who ask you how your day is going and actually care to listen instead of running through the motions of a checklist conversation. I think we all can take a lesson from those positive people.

Being kind to somebody does nothing but good. An act such as smiling at somebody could be the difference in whether their day was good or bad. People remember how you treat them and you have so much more to gain from being a nice person.

Especially as girls, it is easy to get caught up in the latest gossip. What if instead of joining in the negative conversations, you were the one that broke the cycle and didn't join in. Gossip only spreads the negativity and is part of the toxic repetitive cycle of being a girl and it shouldn't be. Put yourself in the place of the person you are gossiping about and reflect on how it would make you feel if you were them. Be the person who makes that girl feel beautiful down to her soul.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." — Audrey Hepburn

Being kind is a simple thing and so is looking for the good in others. So stop wasting your energy on negative thoughts and negative words towards others. Instead, spend your time loving on people and smiling at people and trying to make a difference in people's lives. The only thing negativity will do is bring yourself down.

Any negative thoughts or words you harbor and use against others do nothing but stunt your growth as a person and belittle those around you. So be the person who radiates positivity and makes others feel worthy. If you fill others with meaningful compliments you will find a positive change in your self-worth as well.

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.
