Life Lessons From The Ocean
Kathryn Meaney

The sounds of the ocean are soothers to the soul. The pounding waves are filled with friendly reminders about ways to simply live our lives in peace and never give up.

1. Roll with the waves.

Everything happens for a reason and sometimes it is best to not question every little thing that pops up in life. Rather, just roll with what life throws our direction like the waves rolling in the sea.

2. Don't be shellfish.

Everybody is fighting a battle behind the scenes. Try not to be so quick to judge others. The ocean invites everyone in with grand waves!

3. Sea the beauty everywhere.

Not only is the beach is a beautiful place, the whole world is a beautiful place. Breathtaking minds and views surround us daily and a gaze into the horizon is a reminder that there is so much more out there for us.

4. Never stop.

The waves never stop kissing the sand so you should never stop chasing your dreams and building toward your goals.

5. Don't stop treading.

When life hits you from behind, like a wave knocking you off your feet, stand up stronger and prepared for what lies ahead.

6. Explore.

With so much of our oceans undiscovered, we are reminded to never settle and alway go after what we truly want because odds are, it is out there.

7. Dive fearlessly into adventure.

Just like when diving under a crashing wave, you close your eyes, hope for the best, rise up and always want to do it again.

8. Step with care.

The possibility of a crab resting on the ocean floor is always present. Just like you must step with caution in order to prevent hurting the crab or risk the carb hurting you, be kind to others. Treat everyone with respect and respect will be given to you.

9. Watch out for sharks.

It is important to be able to stand up for yourself and notice when a person is trying to hurt you. If you keep an eye out for the deceitful and avoid them, you will most likely be able to live more confidently and comfortably.

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.
