We Just Need To Learn To Be Happy

The world needs more happiness.

We Just Need To Learn To Be Happy
Corn Goblin

The world is full of negativity. There is constantly something or someone that wants to put you down. There will always be that voice in your head that says that you can't. But know what I've done when the world has tried to put me down? I saw screw 'em. I'm gonna be happy.

If someone wants to say that you aren't pretty, who cares? You may not fall into their category of beauty, but you do fall into Christ's category of stunning. You are beautifully made in Christ's image. So who cares what others think? Just be happy.

If something doesn't go your way, who cares? It can be a bummer not to get a job where you really wanted it, but do you know why you didn't get it? God doesn't want you there. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares The Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11) Things will happen in your life when Christ wants them to happen. You have to remember that you are on His time, not your own.

Happiness is a choice. It is not forced upon you, but you know what is? Sadness, bigotry, hatred, sorrow. But in times when you are being forced into these emotions, you have to remember to be happy. The world is running short of happiness. Everyone is getting too focused on the negative and no one is looking at the positive. Life is full of beautiful moments. Life is full of just plain beauty. The Lord has a beautiful will for you, you need only be still. Do not ever forget that you are more than worthy. You are more than beautiful. You are more than blessed. For The Father of Fathers, and The King of Kings loves you and is carrying you. And that alone makes me the happiest person I know.

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.
