Stand Up And Do Something, And Others Might Be Inspired To Follow After You

Stand up in the crowd that decided to sit down because no one else chose to stand up.

Have the courage to stand up and do something.

Stand up in the crowd that decided to sit down because no one else chose to stand up. Chances are, once you do stand, at least one other person will follow. Muster up the courage so that you can give someone else the courage to do what you have done. Inspire your peers, give others insight, you don't have to hide away. Become the leader and don't be held back by the fear of wanting to express yourself or stand up for something you believe in. The judgment of others should not hinder or prevent you from wanting to have speak your mind or have fun. You should be able to do what you want to do because YOU want to. Stop trying to confine yourself to your surroundings if they choose not to do anything. That's their choice, not yours so you should do what you want to. Don't make irrational decisions, but don't let anything confine you from what's on your mind and what you want to put in action.

Even in the little things:

If no one is dancing at a party and you want to, then do it.

If no one is singing out loud and you want to, then do it.

If no one signed up to volunteer, be the first one.

Be uniquely you, you will attract people will like you for who you are if you express it.

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.
