To live is a beautiful thing, and it is important to love the life you live. Yes, this includes those days that could not seem to get worse, the days when you spill your coffee all over your white t-shirt, the days when you get a D on the test that you swore you could have written yourself. Loving the life you live entitles you to find the beautiful things in every day, and I assure you there are some.

Everyone's life can get a little stressful; it would be insane if it didn't. But way too many people let the stressful parts in life seriously impact their lives. Do not let stress define your life! Everything will pass! This bad day, week, month, whatever it may be... is temporary.

In order to love your life, you must also love yourself. We can only rely on others to a certain extent when it comes to our happiness.However, true happiness will come from your own self- acceptance and self- love. Do things to encourage yourself to find this happiness! Sometimes allowing yourself the simplest pleasures such as wearing your favorite outfit, watching your favorite movie, talking to someone who makes you smile, pampering yourself, and anything that makes you happy will help you take another step towards loving and accepting yourself.

There are a lot of mean and ugly things happening in this world, and that may affect the way we look at the world. It is important that instead of singling them out and focusing on them, we find the good things in life and try to bring light to these horrible occurrences. Each day, every single person is blessed. Why would we not love the life we live when we are surrounded by not only our own blessings, but those of everyone around us? Despite the bad , there are still so many beautiful things in this world that we have to notice, appreciate, and give thanks for. It is important that we learn to be grateful for these rather than allow ourselves to be consumed and negatively impacted by the latter.

Life has the potential to be magnificent. It is up to you to decide how to want to perceive and further live it. It may take time or even a few self- corrections, but stopping and realizing that there must be at least one good thing in every situation will make so much the difference. This does not only apply to every day living, but it also specifically applies to ourselves. You cannot love your life if you do not love yourself. You are wonderful! Let yourself live the life you deserve! Do not allow stress, worry, or negativity define you or the life you life. Think about the life you want, the life you would love, and let yourself live it. Again, to live is a beautiful thing.

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.
