Relatable Lessons We Should All Keep In Mind

This week Barbara and Jenna Bush had their letter to Sasha and Malia Obama one that is powerful, well written, and relatable to everyone revealed to the public. Here are the lessons that we all can take away from the letter.

1. Be Grateful For Every Opportunity That is Presented To You

No matter how small or large take every opportunity presented to you and don't take them for granted. They made you who you are today.

2. Explore Your Interests

Whether you're in college, high school, graduate school, or law school, never stop exploring what brings joy to your life. Follow your heart, as this is what will lead you to success and happiness.

3. Ignore The Negatives In Life

There will be people who will try to bring you down and judge you for your decisions. However, the most important thing to remember is who you are as a person, your character, and what you stand for because at the end of the day that is what matters.

4. Travel As Much As You Can

This will allow you to explore your interests more, grow as a person, and see what else is out there in the world.

5. Make Mistakes

You will make millions of mistakes in your lifetime so don't be afraid to face these setbacks because they will allow you to grow more as person.

6. Surround Yourself With Loyal People

Cut out those who are negative and surround yourself with those who are positive and can push you to be the best person you can be. Likewise goes for you as well.

7. Be Grateful For Your Parents

No matter how annoying they can be at times, they are the ones who root for us on the sidelines. They are the ones that have supported us at our lows and highs. Never take for granted all they have done for you.

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.
