The Power Of Perspective Will Change Your Life

The thought bubbles that flow from your stream of consciousness are the building blocks of your worldview. These internal dispositions are at the core of your identity. They are the projection of your self-image. They dictate your mood. They are the filter through which you interpret stimuli from the environment that you exist in. In short, the words that flutter through your thought processes hold more significance than you think – that's why it is so important that you become aware of them.

You will manifest the narrative that you create.

Engaging in positive self-talk cannot be reduced to just "having a positive attitude." Seeking positivity in your thoughts will actually foster positivity in your real life. By holding yourself accountable for how you think, you will be empowered to make tangible changes in your life that will lead to genuine fulfillment in all that you do. The words that compose the narrative of your mind are like a screenplay for your life, otherwise known as your perspective. As the old adage goes: "if you think it is so, it is so."

Make your perspective your power.

Falling down the "what if" rabbit hole of negativity is a common obstacle that everyone faces from time to time. When your thought process takes on this form more often than not, then it's time to adjust your sails. Even though it may sound like you need to experience some profound revelation to shift your perspective, it can actually be easier than you think. Altering the way that you view things can be achieved by stepping back and listening to the insight of others. By removing yourself from the situation that you are in, you can take on an outsider's point of view and adapt to whatever life throws at you. By changing your perspective for the better, you will possess the power to transform your life.

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

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.
