Nothing but the best.

Never Settle For Less

You're worth more than you know. Often times people put themselves down and think they are worth less than they are. Just think about it: there had to be a time when you thought someone was of higher value than you or you felt you were just an extra.

Whether it's relationships, friendships or a job opportunity, never settle for something if you know you are capable of something greater. We often just settle for whatever is there because we think we will be happy. Eventually, you will realize that settling for less simply won't take you very far in life. You could have received a better lifestyle or opportunity if you continued to work harder instead of just settling for that other option.

Settling for less in relationships won't work or make it very far. You and your partner need to each give 100 percent. It's a two-way street and if you feel like you're the only person putting in the effort, then simply take a step back and realize your worth and value. If you feel you aren't receiving what you deserve, just know there is someone else out there who is compatible with you.

Lastly, settling for a job. This is often tricky because income is what is, of course, needed to survive in today's world. Although, we may take jobs that come along thinking they are the greatest, just know if you work harder and put yourself out there more, you will receive more in life. There will be jobs that you may be required to take in order to build up and be given more opportunities in life. This situation you will come across, will make you more independent and prepare you for future events that may occur in other jobs and in life.

Never settle for less. It may take a while to find that right person, friend or job. Once you do you will have received something far more than you have ever imagined. The memories, opportunities and relationships that will arise will last a lifetime.

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.
