Only You Can Determine Your Life

Life is a game

Only You Can Determine Your Life

No one wakes up everyday and knows exactly how there day is going to go--sure they have an "agenda" but throughout the day there may be some unexpected things occuring. Life is a game. It is a game full of obstacles and surprises. It's inconsistent, unexpected and each person's is unique, but at the end of the day we are all players in this game that develop along the way.

The most interesting thing about life is the way we create our own stories. Life has no guarantees. What fun would it be if each chapter of our life was already written? No one knows what to expect from life, but they figure out who they are/who they want to be/what they like and dislike along the way.

In life we are influenced and shaped due to our experiences, environment and surroundings. People can influence our likes/dislikes, environment can influence our perception of things, experiences can create memories, bad/good, that we can learn from. Only you can determine your life and the type of person you want to be.

Life is a game. Sometimes we fail, and sometimes we succeed. The obstacles that get thrown at us our nothing but tests to see how each individual can truly handle them. When an unexpected turn of events happens we perceive this as a reward. Whoever told you life was easy was lying. As we get older there is more to balance and more hardships we must face. Only you can determine what kind of life you want to live. We are all just players trying to "win" in life. Life is beautiful; life is precious, and it's yours.

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.
