There is a common misconception that country music is nothing more than artists with southern drawls singing about growing corn, driving tractors, riding horses, and drinking beer. Although these topics may be common, country music also has a tendency to capture beautiful messages through heartfelt lyrics that are likely to be some of the best pieces of advice listeners have ever received.

1. “Hold the door, say ‘please’, say ‘thank you,’ don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie. I know you got mountains to climb, but always stay humble and kind.” – Tim McGraw

2. You’re gonna miss this. You're gonna want this back. You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast. These are some good times, so take a good look around. You may not know it now, but you're gonna miss this” – Trace Adkins

3. “‘Best start putting first things first,’ Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand, you can't flip it over and start again. Take every breathe God gives you for what it’s worth. Don't blink” – Kenny Chesney

4. “Sometimes life leads you down a different road when you’re holding on to someone that you gotta let go. Someday you’ll see the reason why. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes, there’s good in goodbye.” – Carrie Underwood

5. “Don't worry ‘bout nothing. Let it go, see what tomorrow brings. Don't worry ‘bout nothing, pray about everything.” – Luke Bryan

6. “Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs that just because He doesn’t answer doesn’t mean He don’t care. Some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.” – Garth Brooks

7. “‘Keep on dreamin’, even if it breaks your heart.” – Eli Young Band

8. “And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.” – Lee Ann Womback

9. “And he said, ‘someday I hope you get the chance, to live like you were dyin’ like tomorrow was a gift and you’ve got eternity to think about what you do with it. What could you do with it?” – Kenny Chesney

10. “Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you. Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense. Never let your prayin’ knees get lazy, and love like crazy.” – Lee Brice

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.

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.
