Self-love is a very basic principle but yet there are so many people who do not practice or feel it. You were put on this earth for a reason, even though there may be many different beliefs regarding that concept, you are you, and that's all you've got.

You only have one life with only one body - the body that you have, the brain that you have, the smile that only you have. When you look in the mirror you will see what you are but not exactly who you are. Focus on who you are and loving the person that you give to the world, then focus on what you see. You need to love the inner being of yourself first before you can even start to focus on the outside.

Everyone is so different in so many ways. You are one of a kind. You are unique. Yes, society may not approve of your uniqueness, but who really cares?

Give society a hair flip and move on honey because life is too short to care what others think.

In order to have self-love, you must be confident. You must be confident in yourself and your ability to do anything you set your mind to. The world and the people in it are beautiful and we have so many resources to do whatever we put our minds to. The only thing stopping you in life is you.

Don't talk yourself out of things and don't have self-doubt. There are times when life throws things at us, but that is when self-love should kick in and be the strongest. If you love yourself, you will always get back up from any downfall that life throws at you.

Today, tomorrow and next year you will still be you. As long as you are you, that will always be enough.

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.
