Things might not be going exactly like you had planned or imagined, but that doesn't necessarily mean that things are wrong, messed up, or bad.

It doesn't really matter what it is. Whether it's a relationship, career, or even something as simple as a club or activity you had planned. If it's not going the way you thought it would, that could actually be a good thing.

Sometimes it's ok if things are different than how you expected them to be. Sure, in the moment it can feel frustrating and upsetting, but it doesn't always have to be that way.

It often depends on how you view the situation. If you try to find the positive in your situation, good thoughts and good things can come from it. You will start to see things differently and have a brighter outlook on what it is you are trying to accomplish and just life in general.

You might want to give up at times. It's not always easy to keep pushing forward, especially when things seem like they aren't working out. Several of the most influential, inspiring, and incredible people who have made a huge impact on others and the world around them have contemplated giving up at one point or another. If they had given up, they wouldn't have made these great accomplishments.

Sometimes, one thing doesn't work out so that a different opportunity could arise, perhaps even a better one. Don't let these opportunities pass you by. Try to just go with it and make the most out of things. The outcome can be better than anything you could have even imagined in the first place. Try to be open to new possibilities.

If you give up, you already know you don't really have a chance of whatever it is that you wanted to work out. But if you hang in there and keep going, you are giving things a chance to work out. You never know, if you really give it your all you can even surprise yourself in what you are capable of doing and achieving.

Ultimately, you have to believe in yourself. Only you can decide what will help motivate you and what will help you stay on track to succeed in doing whatever it is you are set out to accomplish. You can be successful, happy, and do something truly amazing. You just have to trust that you can do it and that things will work out for the best. Take things day by day, even minute by minute, and try your hardest to just let everything happen naturally. Things aren't always going to be easy, but hopefully, they will be worth it. You can do it. Figure out what exactly it is that you want to achieve and then try your best to make it happen.

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.
