For the person who's afraid to leap

How You Know You're An Indecisive Person
Sayur Wortel

To the person who can't make up their mind, there comes a point in our lives where we hit a crossing. The things we thought were mediocre task come around again and you begin to notice they were actually stairs to success.

Sometimes it is a part of life, a new transition you are meant to take. Other times it might be a serious of decisions that have led you to this point. Either way the same feeling is always there. The empty pit in your stomach and sweaty palms. You begin to question when and how you got yourself into this situation. For any indecisive person making a decision is one of the most grueling processes of one's life.

Most people who hate change usually put it off until the last minute. Then when the deciding hour comes it becomes a war between your heart and mind. What usually happens, especially when making a big decision, the heart and mind have two different answers. The heart says, "This will make you happy." But your mind interferes to say, "This is the more logical decision." That is when a decision has to be made on whether to follow one's heart or to follow one's mind. As a child we are often told to pray about it and the answer will come but in those hours it feels as if God's message is stuck in Austin traffic. So in the mean time you just wait...... No you don't. You actually subdue yourself to the downward spiral you think your life is going in because you can't make a decision.

At some point you decide to make a pro and con list. While you do that it seems like both lists contradict the other. As a indecisive person you decide that by some way your list has been compromised and decide to chuck the worthless wad in the garbage. Then you start to do the worst thing you could possibly do, ask for advice.

People usually say this is good but that's a load of crap. Each person has an opinion and the more people you ask the more responses you get. Each person will tell you their pick and their reasoning behind it and you'll realize you're screwed. That's because as an indecisive person not only do you have to make a decision, now. But now you have to decide on which people's advice you should actually take to solve the decision you already can't solve. At this point you are probably so overwhelmed that you just take a nap, you deserve a nap. Then you wake up and start to weigh them again. Suddenly it just becomes clear as if your decision was always staring you square in the eyes. That's when you know you've found a decision that is best for you.

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.
