5 Steps To Make The Most Of Your Day
Huffington Post

If you want to make your mark on this world day by day, here are a few steps to follow to do just that.

1. Thank the good Lord above

The moment your eyes open for the brink of the day, thank the good Lord above for the wonderful day you are about to have. There is no possible reason as to why you should ever "wake up on the wrong side of the bed." It is a new day so live it to the fullest, no second left behind!

2. Pray

While taking a shower, drinking your coffee, or driving your morning path, pray. Pray for God to guide you and direct you to bring the most you can to the table for the day. Pray for those who you will come in contact with and that God will provide for the experiences you will encounter. Don't get too busy where you forget to ask for guidance, you do not have to go out into the world alone.

3. Take the time to laugh

Take the time to laugh! When you see something that is goofy or obnoxiously hilarious, let it out. Your workload is probably stressful so you have to find something to enjoy during your day. You are in control of your happiness.

4. Be nice to someone just because you can

Be nice to someone just because you can. You may never know the story of someone's life that you come in contact with. The very words that come out of your mouth can be what they reflect on for the rest of their week as something positive. Be that person for someone!

5. Tell the ones that you love what they mean to you

Tell the ones that you love what they mean to you. Make sure that if you do not wake to see another day that those people feel the love you have left behind. You can never say I love you too many times. Don't leave things unsaid, life is way too short for that.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
