Move On and Move Up: A Happy Life

Moving On and Moving Up

Life is full of meeting different people, seeing different places and experiencing different things. It is a mixture of continuums and endings; however, the important thing to remember is that everything in life happens for a reason.

Some people are placed in your life in order to help us learn a lesson, to bring us to a certain place, or to give us certain experiences. They may not always be the best or most positive, but they provide a value within your life nonetheless.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that regardless of the people you’ve lost or the places you’ve left, that loss is sometimes for the best.

If you feel constricted by a certain person or place, you are under no obligation to keep them in your life or continue to reside there. You are obligated to put yourself first and to do what makes you happy. You only have one life - don’t waste it being unhappy.

Look at it as a cleanse, a fresh start. Take the opportunity to move on and move up. You do not deserve an individual who cannot appreciate you, someone who hurts you -mentally or physically- or someone who cannot recognize how they mistreat you. You do not deserve a place that makes you feel trapped, lost or without a purpose.

You deserve individuals who raise you up, bring out your best self and hold your best interests at heart. You deserve a place that feels like home, that makes you feel safe and that fills your heart with comfort.

Life is short, do not waste it on moments or people or places that do not fulfill you. There are plenty of individuals and places that you have yet to meet/see - so explore them. Do what makes you happy. Do what makes you smile the brightest. Do what makes you you.

Move on from the things that hurt you. Move on from the people who make you feel like a lesser. Move on from the places that make you feel hopeless.

Move up.

Get rid of the negativity so you have room to fill it with happiness and love.

And make sure you’re giving others the same love and respect you expect them to give you.

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.
