The Year That Has Done It All

It's time to accept the new year and work hard towards success

The Year That Has Done It All
Kiplinger

We have all had our own weird, happy, and sad experiences this eventful year. Even celebrities such as Trump and nations such as Britain had their moments. I believe that the best way to deal with this year is to simply move on to the next taking this year as an example of what to do and what not to do in the upcoming year.

For those who like to make resolutions- don't make any unless you are going to actually work on it. Resolutions are like promises, if made, made to not be broken. Positive affirmations into the new year are wonderful and can help many get over the disappointments of 2016. A beautiful thought for the new year would be Memento Mori, we are all to depart from earth one day, isn't that all the more reason to live to your best today? Keeping this in mind I believ my 2017 will be exciting. What events are going to unfold is something we can't predict. However, the best we can do is to not let these events affect us majorly on an emotional level.

With the beginning of a new year we are given 12 months to do whatever we need to make our year successful. Using this opportunity is a necessity, hard but not impossible. This time is for ensuring that we don't lose the things and people we love. It is to stay thankful to all who have stuck by our sides despite the many obstacle S we faced. The people who have made you smile will continue to do the same. It is your choice to be a new person with a new year or to stay just the same.

I am grateful to end the year with great people by my side. You know who you all are and all I can say is I will always be by your side. Thank you 2016. Here I come 2017.

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.
