Mind Your Own Biscuits And Life Will Be Gravy

What we all can learn from Kacey Musgraves and her new song.

Mind Your Own Biscuits And Life Will Be Gravy

The new country song "Biscuits" by Kacey Musgraves reveals some pretty valuable life lessons that everyone can benefit from hearing.

"Taking down your neighbor won't take you any higher
I burned my own damn finger poking someone else's fire
I've never gotten taller making someone else feel small
If you ain't got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all."

This is a lesson we all need to internalize. Keep your nose out of things that don't pertain to you. And the golden rule, treat others like you want to be treated.

"Nobody's perfect, we've all lost and we've all lied
Most of us have cheated, the rest of us have tried
The holiest of holies even slip from time to time
We've all got dirty laundry hanging on the line."

Stop pretending like you're better than everyone and admit you have flaws, like the rest of the human race. Everyone messes up and no one (I repeat, NO ONE) is perfect in this world. How boring would life be if we were?

"Pouring salt in my sugar won't make yours any sweeter
Pissing in my yard ain't gonna make yours any greener
And I wouldn't know about the rocks in your shoes
So I'll just do me and, honey, you can just do you."

Bringing others down to build yourself up is wrong and will get you nowhere in life. Also, the classic "Do you" is a pretty solid mantra to live by.

"Just hoe your own row and raise your own babies
Smoke your own smoke and grow your own daisies
Mend your own fences and own your own crazy
Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy."

The chorus of this song is the best. With her quirky, country flare, Kacey explains that if you keep to yourself and mind your own business, you'll find that life is actually quite enjoyable when you aren't concerned with the lives of others.

Thank you, Kacey, for reminding us all that the simple things in life are the most important and if we all spent as much time worrying about ourselves, as we do other people, everyone would a lot happier.

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.
