Purpose, Beliefs, and the Journey Ahead

Everyone needs something to believe in, whether it is a cause, some kind of god , or their own motto of how they choose to live their life. A belief that this is not all for nothing, that everyday does in fact count, and that we were put on this planet for a purpose. Our journey is either not identified yet or in the process of being written.

The optimists of our world choose to believe in the greater good, and they are not yet discouraged, even when society consistently fails us, they still have hope that one day things will turn for the better. Although, the realists out weigh the optimists of our world.

Realists are the ones who are constantly giving the dreamers reality checks, and they do not believe that dreams come true, instead they put up this persona that life happens, and we have to choose how we roll with it or not.

Our world consists of people who rarely dream of something greater, magical, and almost surreal. Yes, everyone has dreams, but who really tries to make those dreams a reality. The ones who turn their dreams into their reality are the ones who believe in something that is bigger than themselves. Those who think that anything is possible, and that life is not yet discouraged by us.

Some believe that everything happens for a reason, and that the events that take place in our life are meant to help create us into the person we are today, and are meant to be. Then, there are some who think that life is not fair..And to short..Those are the ones who decide to dwell on the past, and all the heartache and disappointment of life, instead of use that to become a stronger human being, and face their fears that they believe that life has nothing good in store for them.That is simply untrue. The best is yet to come. Sometimes you have to endure the hardships that reality and life has to throw your way, to come to the realization that every chance is an opportunity for greatness, and every hope is a belief that we can be whomever we imagine, and that second chances do exist for those lucky enough to accept the opportunity to start over. “Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and remember the person you where meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.”(One Tree Hill)

Believe.. Believe that you have a purpose, a journey, and that not matter what spins your life takes, no one can change the way you choose be not ordinary but extraordinary.

“Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.”(One Tree Hill)

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.
