Maybe you're too stubborn to even admit that you're stubborn.

So, if you clicked on this then you've probably been told once or twice that you are "too stubborn." Well, same.

OK, so maybe your too stubborn to even admit that you are stubborn, but if your not sure then if you've experienced most of these things then your probably stubborn, just like me.

1. That eye roll you make when someone tells you to "be flexible"

Eyeroll

I mean we had a plan, so why deter from it?

I get it though, things change and revisions need to be made, but we all know how annoying it can be to have a good plan, and then someone wants to change it.

2. You get annoyed when people tell you for the 100th time that you're "hard headed"

Goat

What am I, a goat?

I prefer the term "driven" because when you stick to something, then you get it done.

3.  Group projects can be a particular struggle 

Group project

I'm all for listening to others ideas, but sometimes it is difficult if you genuinely believe that yours is the best, but the group won't listen.

4. You say "I told you so" a lot 

I told you so

We've all been there - when you know in your heart that you are right about something but then someone else insists differently, only to be proven wrong.

Sometimes you just need to add that "I told you so" in.

5. It's hard to admit when you're wrong 

Right

We all hate being wrong, but for stubborn people, it can be particularly challenging.

Personally, I'll acknowledge if I am wrong, but it is hard to accept.

6. People assume that we think we are always right 

Mean Girls

It may seem that way, but honestly we know that we don't know what's even going on sometimes.

We just come off as thinking that we know what in the heck is going on.

 7. We know we're too stubborn for our own good 

Dog

We've been told this plenty of times before, so we know that we're stubborn, trust me.

We also know that being stubborn isn't our best trait, but it's not horrible to have either.

Our stubbornness can come out as perseverance and drive, but it can occasionally just be plain hardheadedness.

8. We feel bad about it 

Sorry

Again, we know it's not our best trait, so we do feel guilty over it sometimes.

We don't mean to be difficult or to give people hard time, it's just a part of who we are.

Those of us who feel this way do acknowledge that we want to try and change it, so we try and manage 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.
