Although children are not as knowledgable and mature as most adults, children can teach us a lot of things, even life lessons. Here are 10 life lessons that us adults can learn from all children:

1. Take naps.

They're good for your mind, body, and soul. It improves your performance and will put you in a better mood. Take some naps!

2. Be fearless.

Don't be afraid to let yourself go and try new things without fear. Life is too short for all that!

3. Don't stop exploring.

Explore new things and find new interests. Keep yourself busy and find new passions every day.

4. Give lots of cuddles.

I mean, who doesn't like or need a good cuddle?

5. It's okay to cry when you're upset.

Sometimes, it's the best way to express your emotions. Everyone just needs a good cry to let it out every once in a while.

6. Ask for help when you need it.

Don't be stubborn or prideful. If you need help, just ask. You'll never learn how if you don't ask for help.

7. Let your imagination run wild.

Never lose that creative mind you had when you were young. Bring these ideas to work, home, or wherever you need your imagination.

8. Play.

Take some time for yourself and just have fun!

9. Always speak what's on your mind.

Don't hold anything back. If you're happy, angry, in love, etc., express that!

10. Be judgement-free.

Do not judge anybody for their skin color, the way they dress, how they act, or for any other reason. You don't know what's going on in that person's life. Remember, you're not perfect either.

I hope you learn something new from a small human today, I know I did!

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.
