Patience is Key

For a good life

Patience is Key

Life can be very challenging at times. There are weeks that are so horrible. It seems as though nothing is working out the way you were intending it to. You complain your week away and repeat it over and over again. While you're complaining, you're also working and pushing yourself. Changing your perspective on your life as you go along. Finally, one day you wake up and your life seems so different. Everything seems to be working out for once. All of your wishes have become realities. All of your late night thoughts have come and gone and some have even happened. Life changes before our eyes.

Although, it's difficult not being able to force things to occur the way we want them to, patience is key. I've had these bad weeks before. Where nothing goes my way. I remain patience even though it's really tough. But then my bad weeks turn into a couple good weeks and I stop complaining as much. I stop complaining and I just soak up all of the good that is happening around me. I laugh a little more and worry a little less.

You see, we need both the good and the bad weeks in our lives. Because if weren't forced to go through the bad, we would take the good for granted. We wouldn't know what patience and perseverance really looked like.

Try to take the bad weeks and turn them into good weeks. Because with a little patience it will really happen.

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.
