You Need To Hear This

Do not fight change because it sometimes bores discomfort.

It's okay to change.

There is no need to stay stagnant. Sometimes times come that challenge a way of living we once thought to be the only way to live. That is okay. Different can be scary but it is not synonymous with demise, it signals growth.

Do not let the fear of change prevent you from breaking free of the people who push you in any direction but up. Do not fear to leave a fickle love for the momentary discomfort. Do not fear to move in a direction different from those around you. Each path is different for a reason. Had we all been placed upon the same path, we would hardly live a life at all.

The most important change I made in my life was the elimination of comfort. I have learned, especially in terms of my faith, that nothing extraordinary happens on the terms of one's comfortability. To be comfortable is to be lazy and laziness is a sure sign you aren't reaching the full potential God has laid out for you. But when we challenge ourselves to change, that is when God will work wonders in our lives.

We were not born to simply stay the same. We were created to grow and to prosper in a way that only the human race can. Each day we are all ever changing, we are learning lessons and taking risks. We are challenging ourselves all in the pursuit of becoming the best version of ourselves that we can be.

Our greatest enemy is fear, that voice in our head that says we can be who we want to be, or that we are nothing without a certain person that we have left overshadow ourselves. CHANGE that.

Do not let the fear of who you may appear to be to someone else change you into something you aren't. Embrace change and mold it into the life you want, rather than fighting it and letting the absence of it mold you. No one great stopped going for what they wanted for fear of change, you are great. Neither should 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.
