Remember That You Have The Strength To Grow Through What You Go Through

Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes that reason is a tremendous life lesson.

Throughout your life, you are going to be faced with roadblocks. Whether they are minor or major, these blocks can feel overpowering. These encounters feel impossible to overcome and they can give you a sense of feeling stuck.

During these setbacks, you may feel like you have been defeated. However, these upsets are actually a blessing in disguise. When you deal with a troubling matter, you get to learn something new about yourself.

Perhaps you will even learn a small personal characteristic or a big realization about who you actually are.

For me, I would not change a single thing about my life. I am truly grateful for everything that I have gone through, especially the roadblocks. Without the struggles, I would not be the person I am today.

The troubling situations and circumstances that have crossed my path in the past have all taught me important life lessons. I have learned about strength, responsibility, rage, hatred, joy, courage, and hundreds of other important life aspects.

Without going through the difficult times, I would have never gained this special and important knowledge on these topics.

It may seem like the difficulties you face are all evil, but I have learned to look for the light in the darkness. When you are going through a difficult time, you should try to find the good in the bad. Sprint to the light at the end of the tunnel, because when you reach it, you will feel unstoppable.

In order to get this mindset, I encourage you to step out of your current views. If you feel like life is constantly dragging you and throwing you in awful situations, then it is time to realize that life is hard. Your life is a long journey, and you are going to be the only person that will be on the entire trip.

There are going to be times when your tough journey seems like it will never end, but it will. You can defeat anything that is trying to stop you.

Once you set your mind to something, you can't be stopped. Nothing can hold you back. Not one single thing.

Every person on this Earth goes through different things. You can't compare your chapter one to someone else's chapter five. It simply doesn't work like that.

You have this life for a reason, so find that reason. Why are you here? What is your purpose?

The answers to these questions are going to be found when you least expect it. Usually, they are found in the worst times of your life. This is why finding that light in the pitch black is important. There is always going to be something that is brilliantly bright.

The good is going to be the wisdom you gain from your experiences. There is always going to be at least one thing to learn from the blackness.

In the end, you grow through what you go through. I want you to remember that.

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.
