Stop Judging, Start Living

You are beautiful, just the way you are.

What is the definition of beauty? Is something that can change day by day? Currently, we live in a distorted society, a society which judges individuals on beauty. How can you judge someone on something that is so difficult to define? There is no one right or wrong answer for the definition of beauty, why is this? Well, because beauty is unique to each individual.

Women struggle with self- image because we are constantly comparing ourselves to other people. Think about it, how many times have you seen another girl walking past you and you thought of everything she has that you don't. You might wish you had her skinny toned legs, her nice clothes, or hair. You want to change yourself to be like her. Imagine it the other way around, if you didn't like the outfit the girl was wearing. You walk past her judging her every move, her every flaw that you think she has. How does judging someone else make you any better? You're still going to look and feel the same way as you do. This constant pressure to be perfect causes self- doubt and insecurities. Stop trying to compare yourself to others and just be yourself. You are beautiful in your own way.

Today’s generation is attached to their cell phones. We allow these tiny devices to control what we do, how we feel, and what we think about ourselves. An inanimate object impacts and influences our daily lives. Even more detrimental it influences how we perceive ourselves. We live in a generation where someones beauty is defined by the number of likes they receive on their selfie Sunday post on Instagram. Once again we need to stop judging one another based off of looks. If you feel confident and want to post your duck face selfie, then you go head and do it. This is your life, you can't let the judgements of others stop you from living your life and doing what you want to do.

We need to remind each other that we are not defined by our outward appearance. You are so much more than the clothes you wear, or how you style your hair. What about the beautiful life you are living? Think about how lucky you are to have a roof to sleep under, food to eat, and air to breathe. Life itself is a gift and every single day is an opportunity to do something great. Go out there and do something positive.

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.
