We all go through obstacles in our lives that seem unbearable, but the thing is that we can change our actions and the way we feel about situations that don't go as planned. Here are a few simple solutions as to where our hearts are led and how we can handle those situations.

1. Frustration

Throughout the day, mainly while we are at work, school, around friends, or just, in general, there will be times where we come across something that turns us off. But the best thing to do in that situation is to take a deep breath and hope for positive things to come your way and they will.

Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

2. Insecurities

When we go through these "I can't do this" phases, it is often lead to some sort of insecurity that we face and sometimes they are hard to control. But at the end God sees you differently then everyone else around you does and will help you through both the highs and lows in life and all you have to do is trust him and more Importantly, not to let the insecurities you're facing, define you

Romans 12:2 " Do not be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. That you might be proved of what it is that is good, and acceptance, perfect will of God."

3. Anxiety

Anxiety is a more common one these days, but the best thing to do while going through anxiety is breathe. It may not be easy now but don't worry, God has a better plan.

Philippians 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God."

4. Rejection

This topic can be very hard to overcome, but when we feel rejected towards a certain person or thing we need to not take their words personally, but instead approach their hurtful messages with grace.

2 Corinthians 12:9 " But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

5. Fear

Wether we're afraid of the dark or our own personal belief of something we have misinterpreted, fear is there. However, it doesn't have to stay there for long.

Joshua 1:9 "Do not be afraid for the LORD God is with you wherever you go."

So here's the thing, when we experience these feelings, know that in every situation, God is there and he will get you through it all, even if the outcome doesn't look promising.

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.
