Reminders For Yourself When You Feel Like Giving Up

Everyone has those days where they just feel like giving up and to not even bother anymore. We all somewhere in our lives feel the need to just stop and to start not caring about what happens to ourselves. We forget the reason why we are here and why we were brought to this earth....to live a life worth living. Whenever you are down and out and feel like there is absolutely no way out, tell yourself these things to keep you going.

"There is love all around me"

You are loved by so many people in your life. You thrive on that love and it keeps you going. Just remember who is there for you now and who was always there for you in the beginning. Love makes you grow and realizing the amount of people in your life that love you and appreciate you will make you feel on top of the world. Tell yourself that you are surrounded by a bunch of people who care for your well being. They love you sooooooo much.

"There is a world to explore"

You haven't lived fully if you haven't traveled anywhere but where you live. There is so much to see and places to explore and I find that so crazy. Take a break from life and get some of your closest friends and go somewhere you all haven't been to before and take bunch of pictures and have the time of your life.

"I can do it"

If you made it this far in life already, than push yourself to keep going. Strive for the best and have fun while doing it. Always tell yourself that you can keep going and when you feel like you re being knocked down, pick yourself up and do this for yourself.

"It could be worse"

You don't know everyone's personal story, but make sure to remind yourself that there are worse things out there than what you are feeling. Of course it's normal to feel this way (down and out), but always remember that you are lucky to be where you are.

"Take a deep breath"

Make sure to tell yourself to take a deep breath. Trust me.. it helps...a lot! When you feel there is no way out of feeling terrible, always stop what you are doing and just breathe. Breathe and think about absolutely nothing. Don't think about what you are feeling or thinking; just breathe.

"I'm alive"

You are healthy and alive. That is the greatest gift anyone could ever be given. Your life is precious, so don't take it for granted. Have fun, make mistakes, go out, explore the world, take life for what it is, and be happy. Life is to short to go through it knowing what you could've done. So instead of being unhappy, go out and live a life worth living.

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.
