1. Religion

Ever since the beginning of time, religion, whatever the belief may be, has always played a role in the course of history and it continues to drive the present to this day. It can drive our morals, thoughts, and our lives. For some, it has done some amazing things. For others, the complete opposite occurs.

This constant conflict between good and evil will never stop simply because everyone thinks they're on the good side. Now is a religion the cause of this belief? That's a matter of perspective. After all, perspective is what tells us what's good and what's evil.

2. Music

Even as I write this, I can hear music playing. Not from my devices, but natural music. There's someone outside playing their saxophone, and it sounds incredible. Music has given the world an opportunity to fully immerse themselves in their feelings.

Some are better than others and have made careers out of it which isn't that rare. The versatility and complexity in our sense of hearing and perception of sounds have been a determining factor in countless ways. We can thank music for a vast majority of those ways.

3. Leadership

Leadership is something that is always brought up by a group of people. Really anytime you see a group of people with something in common, there's someone who's in charge or the big representative of that group. The whole idea of leadership has also been a driving factor in the history books just like religion, and it will continue to do so.

It's within our nature to do so in order to prevent disorder and chaos. Of course, there are people who don't believe in government or leadership, but that's simply another type of it.

4. Education

The human race prides itself in the evolution of thought and learning. Unfortunately, due to the constant conflict between good and evil, many cannot be part of this evolution. Despite this setback, this growth of knowledge won't stop. History has demonstrated how the human race has grown in practically all subjects like science and math.

However, the amount of thought and ideas we can obtain are practically infinite. There is still so much that hasn't been achieved such as space colonization, but time has proven that it's very likely the impossible occurs all because of ambition.

5. Technology

The result of evolution in thought and ambition. Throughout time, the world continues to make itself more efficient making the impossible possible. If you went back a century and showed its people your phone, they probably would consider your actions out of this world.

Today, we have the most cutting-edge technology that allows us to do an array of tasks from sending messages to our relatives to actually saving them. The possibilities are endless, and as time goes on, we get closer to a potential end.

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.
