Know Your Worth

"People learn how to treat you, based on what you accept from them."

One of the things I find the most heartbreaking in today's society is the amount of individuals who feel as though they have to live by the standards of other people. We seem to always be in need of other people's acceptance; we have to have certain people like our pictures, a certain amount of followers to seem cool, etc. We crave others opinion's of us so much, that we forget to read what the bible says: We are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)

No matter your gender, there are always going to be people who want to tear you down. It is so important to realize that no matter what, we were all created to fulfill a higher purpose: to glorify God. If someone is getting in the way of that, it is time to let them go. Whether that be an abusive boyfriend/girlfriend, a toxic friendship, or just someone who makes you depressed, it is okay to say goodbye to them. You deserve to be happy, and live a life that you enjoy. Sometimes that requires us to take chances and work to become better versions of ourselves. Knowing your worth means valuing yourself, and who God has intended you to be. "Know the difference between what you are getting, and what you deserve."

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.
