Monday Morning

It Could Be Worse...

An overcast Monday morning. This is something that rolls around only once a week. People are always dreading this "Monday Morning" because that means the start of a new work week or another 5 days of responsibilities that always somehow slip away during the weekend. Many of these "Monday Mornings" are spent commuting to work, packing your kids lunches or cramming for the exam you forgot about. For some people, they go smooth and it's just another average day at the office or school but people will find something to complain about because why wouldn't they, its human nature. For the unlucky few, this "Monday Morning" is spent in a doctors office with un-wishful news or on the side of the road after an accident that totaled their car.

In society, people are always finding the negatives in different situations without realizing how good they have it. Although things may not always fall in your favor and not everything is always rainbows and unicorns, you woke up this morning and that should be enough. It could be worse!

We need to make it a point to smile at the person next to us in the Starbucks line instead of looking down at our phones and ignoring them. If we start little by little looking up from our phones and enjoying all life has to offer, people will start to follow the trend. Little acts of kindness can brighten someones day immensely because you never know if they were the person in the doctor's office or on the side of the road in the accident this morning.

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.
