Life Is Precious

People should never take life for granted because you never know what you have until you lose it.

Life Is Precious

Never, ever take life for granted. People do not realize how great of a life they have until it is too late. Much too often, we do things without thinking of the big picture, yet we should always realize what we have. Even when life gets tough, people need to remember that we need to keep God and our family close, because things will get better, if you give them a chance.

Psalms 34:17- "When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles."

I believe that this is a great verse to remind us that if we ask for help from God, he will somehow show us the way and get us out of our troubles. People just need to have their faith and do what is right, because if you do and give it all to God, then the darkness will turn to light, and things will become OK in the end.

People should never take life for granted because we never know what we have until it is gone. Life is a crazy ride, and if we do not see that we will not enjoy life. Life is meant to be beautiful, and even when it is not a great day, people need to realize that things will get better. Life is not fair, tragedies happen, people get hurt, and things are hard, yet life is still something we should treasure. We need to treasure life because we never know what is going to happen in any instant; therefore, we need to love one another and realize how wonderful we truly have it. Always remember that life is a beautiful ride and, and everything will be okay at the end of the day, and if it is not OK, then it is not the end.

"Courage does not always roar, sometimes, courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, I will try again tomorrow." -Anonymous

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
