There Is No Time But Now

So Stop Waiting

34
There Is No Time But Now
Maddie Blomgren

No matter what, if something is important to you, even if the odds are against you, you should still do it. So many good things in life happen because of chances you take. Sure, a lot of things are out of your control, but there is nothing you can do with, "what if." There really is no time but now to take chances. I struggle with going out of my comfort zone. If you think about it, nothing can spring in a comfort zone, because it consists of the same things. Being brave and taking chances will allow yourself into situations you never thought possible. You could open up so many doors for yourself by just being open to change. So be brave, you don't know how far it will get you until you are there!

Change is scary because it's something you are not used to. It's coming to the realization that nothing will be the same, and sometimes, that's okay! There are really only two options, either you take a chance and it ends up in your favor, or it doesn't and you learn from it. We don't know where we will end up, we only have ideas and dreams. That is the beauty of life, you get to make your own choices in order to lead yourself to where you would like to end up. So be open to change, and experiences!

Don't wait for things to come to you. I catch myself looking forward to things in the future and although that is great to do, it is important to live for NOW. Don't only look forward to the summer or a trip in order to have fun. Appreciate what each day brings you. Be in the moment and appreciate the little things in life. Even though Mondays can be a drag, they are important and should be appreciated, because not everyone is given the opportunity to get to live another Monday. So be appreciative and make every day something to look forward to!

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.
