“Some day I won’t be able to do this- the right time is now”- Casey Neistat

“The right time is always now,” Casey continues to remind us as he travels the world doing what he loves each day.

For what? Well- for everything.

The right time is now to get yourself moving and get on with your day.

The right time is now to do what you’ve been holding back on.

The right time is now to make your life everything you want it to be.

Why wait? Something that I’ve learned in my 20 years is that time is so precious, every second counts. Although this may sound cliché, it is so important to realize your life’s worth. To sit around and wait for life to happen is to throw away that time. Life does not come to you if you are too reluctant to get out into the world and experience it.

Many of you are millennials such as myself, which means that the perfect time to embark on life’s adventures is right now. It is a blessing that we are so capable to do whatever we want when we want to. The greatest failure in life is looking back and realizing you didn’t do anything when you had the time and capability.

The world is your oyster, you can do whatever you want whenever you want to at this very moment, and who cares what it is as long as it makes you happy?? I ask you to think about the memories you want to tell your grandchildren when you’re eighty years old. What kinds of stories do you want to pass on through generations?- The story of you lying in bed and watching Netflix throughout your twenties? Now is the time to make these the best years of your life.

I want to be the grandma that talks about the cliffs she climbed and the paths she ran and the places she traveled. These are the things I live for, the things that motivate me day to day. There is no time like the present and someday I won’t be able to do these things, so the time is always right now.

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.
