Life Will Knock You Down, And Heres Why

God will always give you more than you can handle.

Life Will Knock You Down, And Heres Why

I'm sure I'm not the first person that's told you that life will throw curve balls at you. It will throw them at you left and right when you think you can't handle anything else. Heres the thing, people will always say "God will never give you any more than you can handle."

That statement is wrong.

God most certainly will give you more than you can handle. That's how you get stronger.

It's okay to scream. It's okay to cry. It's okay to watch your life fall apart and not know what to do. Everything about that is normal.

When you feel like you can't take anything else, life will throw something at you so hard that it will knock you on the ground. Now listen to this next part carefully. It's very important. Don't stop fighting. Run to your best friend, your roommate, your group of friends, do whatever you have to do. Scream to the world, find someone to talk to. But do NOT go into your dark place. Don't go into the place that makes you a different person. I don't care what happens, do NOT go to the place where you shut out the people that care about you. That place is a danger zone. That place will ruin the way you see the world.

I don't care if the thought of talking to people kills you. Go and find someone and talk to them. You might even find out that they are going through the exact same thing as you. You might find out that they've already been through it. Don't let the world change you.

Don't let life change you. Don't let the bad things about life ruin you. God will give you more than you can handle because he wants you to be stronger than ever before. He wants you to know that you will be more and that you CAN be more.

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.
