Losses Can Be Blessings

Some of life's most difficult losses can be the biggest blessings. Life is full of tough losses that can take everything out of a person, but the result of that loss can be the biggest blessing in your life.

Losses are hard and the last thing people are able to see during the loss is any good possibly coming out of it. All losses can have good come out of them, but sometimes the good is a blessing. In the moment of a loss our eyes are blinded by grief, but a blessing could easily be up ahead.

When a blessing does come out of the loss and we see the result of it all, it is one of the coolest things. Losing a job is hard, but the better one to come is a blessing. Breaking up with someone is hard, but getting out of a toxic relationship is a blessing. Removing negativity from your life can be difficult, but the blessing of making your life better is a blessing. Facing your fears is hard, but living life without fear is a blessing.

Life is full of blessings in disguise that we do not look hard enough for. Life is full of losses that people face all the time. When blessings and losses are meshed together, people are changed for the better. When we start to look for the blessings life offers, life has a different look.

Life will never be loss free, but it will also never be blessing free; with losses come blessings and that is awesome. Not every loss is a blessing and not every blessing is the result of a loss, but losses can result in blessings and that is so encouraging.

Never allow a loss to determine what is going to happen because a loss is not always just a loss.

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.
