There are days when you feel like life is trying to bring you down. No matter what you do some things just don't ever seem to look up. In times like these we just feel like giving up. We should be fighting back. There is only one way to do this action. We have to smile and always think positive!

Why let a bad day keep you down!

Think of all the bad things that happened to you, and make it into a positive thought. Say you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Think of waking up as victory. You made it another day. What could possibly be so bad about that? Once you have started your day off with a positive attitude it is hard to break that positive spirit!

Smiling is Contagious

Smiling is actually a great tool to use in life. In today's society we often result to frowning. No one actually means to do this, sometimes it is just how the person looks, however we all can do one thing to change this, simply smile. If you go out of your way to smile at someone who looks like they could need some cheering up, it might just do the trick. Do one thing everyday that will make someone smile. We often get caught up in the moment and don't understand how smiling can not only lift your mood, but possibly someone else's mood as well.

Boost someone's self confidence

No one knows what someone else could be going through. Everyone is different and have their own things to worry about, but there is always a time to make someone's day. A simple text message could do the trick. It takes 30 seconds to send a friend a good morning message to tell them to have a good day. You may not think this works, but it is more effective than you think. If you go out of your own way to tell someone they are loved, and you are thinking of them, it may light up their world. Being selfless is a wonderful quality you should strive for. We never know what someone else is going through which is why boosting someone's spirit in any possible is a tremendous thing.

There are a million reasons to smile

We forget about all the great things life offers us each day. The opportunity to take chances, and never give up on our dreams. This alone gives us a millions reasons why we should live each day to the fullest. We don't often get second chances. We have to take what we have now and just go for it. Never forget the reason you are smiling. We often forget why we smile. Don't ever lose the sense of your own happiness. We get one life to live, so why just sit around not reaching your goals? Find your reason to smile and spread it.

Smiling and having a positive outlook on life are two important attributes. Life does get hard, we all know that but what is most important is looking beyond the imperfections!

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.
