How To Live Your Life Like An Action Movie Star

Everyone wishes at some point that they could live their life like an action movie. But as ex-military nomad vigilante Jack Reacher proves in JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK, not everyone gets the off-the-grid lifestyle with all the 007 perks. Though maybe taking the law into your own hands is probably not the best idea, take your life one step closer to the action-packed lifestyle of Jack Reacher by taking a page from his book.

Make the best of what you got.

If Reacher tells you to hang up the phone... Hang up the phone.

For Jack, this might mean only having a telephone as a weapon and still kicking some major butt. For you, that means taking that single chicken breast, some EasyMac and stick of celery from your kitchen and somehow still making a cohesive meal for dinner. It may be slim pickings, but you still figure it out.

Reuse old clothes or borrow from friends.

We're glad Reacher is on our side. See the hard hitting action in theaters 10/21.

Reacher finds a use for his old military uniforms (or he simply “borrowed” them from someone, if you know what I mean), so you have a use for that old denim jacket you’ve had since middle school. Granted he’s breaking into a military base using that uniform, but you can “break” the mold by wearing clothes you haven’t worn in a while and passing them off as vintage

Don’t order takeout too much, and if you do, just get the bare minimum.

Ready or not, here he comes. #JackReacherMovie

Jack Reacher is the guy the waitress at the diner didn't count on because she's gonna get a bad tip from a guy who just orders coffee. Do you know how much a cup of coffee costs? Maybe two bucks. I’m not saying the way to be a badass is saving your money, but I’m not not saying that.

Take initiative.

Man of action. #JackReacherMovie

Reacher lives by the motto, “Act, Don’t React.” If you want something to happen, don’t wait for other people to make that happen for you.

JACK REACHER: NEVER GO BACK is in theaters and IMAX nationwide on October 21st.

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.
