Life's Little Moments: Everything Leads To Something Else
Performance Marks

Our lives are made up of moments that are both big and small. Each one in our lives decides the next moment. No matter what it is, no matter how big or small you may think the moment may be, it has the chance to flip your world upside down. This moment could be anything from being 5 seconds behind a car that was hit head on to being older, married, and having your first child. Whatever this small “insignificant” moment is, it brings you to where you are supposed to be today.

Darius Rucker released a song called “This” in 2010. The song discusses that he doesn’t care about what happened in his past, but rather than what did happen brought him to the point of his life that he enjoys. In the chorus he talks about how every stoplight he didn’t make and every chance he did or he didn’t take, he Thanks God for all that he missed because it all led him to the point in his life that he loves.

As you go through life and find that something you really wanted didn’t go the way you planned, don’t fret over it because there is something better coming your way. There have been many times where I wasn’t given the opportunity I wanted, but then I received a better opportunity.

Being a young adult, we experience moments that lead us to where we are supposed to be after we graduate and later in life. Mistakes happen, hearts get broken, and if we don’t experience those moments while were young, we won’t get to the point in our lives that we love so much as early as we do now.

Everyone leads a different life, everyone’s moments occur at different times, and those moments lead each person to the point in their lives where they are supposed to be. While some of these moments are sad and others are happy, they all occur based on the life that you are supposed to lead.

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.
