The Right Way To Live Life

This is the right way, because I know how to do it.

The Right Way To Live Life
Carrie Hood

Living your own life, you become accustomed to doing things certain ways; daily rituals and traditions. For an example, making a sandwich, I like to build my way up. I enjoy when its the bun, meat, cheese, vegetables, sauce, top bun. But, is that the right way? Technically, there is no right way to do anything, but to build a sandwich, my way is politically correct. You may think that the way you do something, is the best, and most perfect way of accomplishing a task, but there are millions of other ways you can do so. Once you become so accustomed to the idea of your right way, you begin to believe others are doing it wrong. For example, I became so accustomed to my ritual of: bun, meat, cheese, vegetable, sauce, bun, that if it is built in a different order, I like to rebuild my sandwich to fulfill the way I like it. Only because, that is my right way. I do understand, that other like their sandwiches built differently, some might not even care.

What about beliefs? Do you believe that your religion is the only right religion? Do you belief that everyone else is wrong, and that they will not make it to Heaven, because their practice is different from yours? If they do not worship Jesus Christ they will not make it to Heaven, because they worship other gods? There is no right way. Whatever that person believes in, they will get there.

How about sexuality? Do you believe that because you are heterosexual, every other sexuality is wrong? It’s not wrong, because there is no right way. Love is love, and how somebody else loves, does not effect you personally. No matter the sexuality, straight, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, etc, its their way of love, and there is no “right” version of love, because love is love, and you cannot stop love.

The traditions, rituals, and ways of life are completely different of others, but because of the differences between yours and their life, that does not mean they are wrong. Everyone has their own “right” way, and you just gotta let people live their own lives, in their own “right” way. Theoretically, the right way does not exist. You just have to get through life the way you need to do so, and that way is the right way.

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.
