There are so many things that are impossible to plan and make enough time for. But when you get the opportunity to be able to make the choice of doing something now or waiting, take that time to make the right choice. Wait a few hours when you are emotionally hijacked to respond to someone. Wait until the right time of day to ask someone for something, or to talk to them about something that is important.

Though there are some things that you can't plan for and work around to take the extra time for, that's okay. But even though that one very important thing that is on your mind that you think is so important, it may not be the same amount of importance to the other person that you are wanting to talk to.

Think about is this something that I can wait to talk about with this person at a different time. If it is that important should I wait to talk to them about it in person so that information doesn't become skewed in some way. Is this something that I need to phrase in a lighter way in case I may hurt the persons feelings.

It's never easy to be in a position of having to talk about sensitive subjects or deliver difficult news to someone. But if you are given the opportunity to make sure that you take the time that is needed to develop a better conversation with someone leap at that opportunity. Don't take this golden opportunity for granted because moments like this aren't always given to you.

At the end of the day what you think is so important is different to someone else in your life because they will always have different perspectives, thoughts, feelings, and emotions compared to you. So be graceful, and take the time when you are able to ensure that how you communicate is showing you in the best light possible.

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.
