Quotes Every Person Should Live By

1. “Sometimes you find out what you are supposed to be doing by doing the things you are not supposed to do”- Oprah Winfrey

We all fail, but it’s important to not harp on these mistakes. Everyone should realize that nobody can be successful at everything they do. Learn from your failures and use that knowledge to redefine your priorities. It will only help you become successful in the long-run.

2. “Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets”- Harvey MacKay

Living life with regrets isn’t healthy. You shouldn’t be constantly thinking about the “what-ifs” or what could have come of a certain situation. There’s nothing you can do to change the past, so don’t focus on it too much. If you live with regrets, it’s impossible to move forward.

3. “Listen, smile, agree and then do whatever you were going to do anyway”- Robert Downey Jr.

Sometimes is easy to allow the opinions alter your own. It’s ok to let the beliefs of others influence you, but never let them lose sight of you your own goals.

4. “Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on”- Criss Jami

We’ve all held a grudge for far too long because we feel as if someone has wronged us. Nothing good comes from holding on to grudges, especially because takes more energy than just letting go. It will only end up consuming you and being the only thing that you can think about. If someone has really hurt you, to the point that you think they should be cut from your life, let them go, but don’t hold a grudge.

5. “Drink some coffee and pretend you know what you’re doing”- anonymous

Sometimes it’s easier to just stay in bed and binge watch Netflix all day, but at the end of the day you’ll probably end up feeling worse about yourself because you got nothing done. Instead, get out of bed and try your best because it will be less stressful later on and you’ll probably end up feeling better about yourself.

6. “If it won't matter five years from now, don't spend more than five minutes upset about it”- anonymous

Sometimes the most trivial problem can seem like the end of world, which is why it is important to recognize what is worth worrying about. If it won’t matter in five years, you shouldn’t be all that preoccupied by it. Focus on things that are actually worth your time.

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.
