Positive people lift you up, be with those that lift you up.

Practicing gratitude.

Giphy

These individuals practice gratitude on a daily basis so they will start to rub off on you. When rubbing off on you they will show you to look at the little things not only the big things.

Focusing on the positive!

Their outlooks on daily life and life, in general, are more positive. The positivity that they have surrounding them will start to rub off and then your mood will start to change. You'll feel freer and it will be beneficial.

They lift you up!

Negative people tear you down. Positive people lift you up. Surround yourself with people who lift you up and help you reach your goals instead of being boulders in the way.

Positive influences!!

They are the one positive thing on the crappiest of your days. They help you to get out of your funk and back into your groove of your day to day.

Encouragement

They help you make better choices. They encourage you and make sure that you are on the best possible path. They make sure that you are reaching what you want to and are happy and feel supported while doing it.

Happy Memories

They help you to create more happy and fun memories. The best memories that you will be able to recall are going to be with this person. They will support you and help you make those awesome memories.

Motivation

When you don't have motivation they give you the motivation you need to get it done. They are your number one supporter, their energy will help you get that extra boost you need.

The more positive people you surround yourself with the better it will be. Don't let those toxic people bring you down when you have so many more positive things you can be looking at!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
