We Are More Than Conquerors: Perfection In The Midst of Imperfection

It's so easy to see the negative in a situation. Even in a situation that is barren of emotion, it's easy to find a reason to be down. We want things to go our way with limited information, believing that what we desire is best. Like little wannabe gods, we try to rule our lives with so much doubt and fear as a foundation. To be wrong, to be isolated, to not fit in triggers the actions we take for a "better tomorrow".

What I've come to realize, is that to live in fear, is to live a life of mediocrity. To live in fear is to barely live, it's a mirage by which many make their decision. Those who truly live are those who see the cliff, but decide to jump; instead of falling, they fly.

Have you ever just taken a moment to be thankful, to see where you currently are despite the reasons why you shouldn't be. When you don't enjoy each day for what it is, you will always live for tomorrow. The irony about living for tomorrow is that although it's anticipated, it's never experienced.

Our ability to overcome is more powerful than what we choose to fear. The ability to withstand our battles till the end is what opens our eyes to what lies within us. It gives insight to how much God has poured into us. I was offered a position that I thought was above me, and I was ready to run away from the obstacle at hand. Although the fear within shocked me, the promise of God held me in place. Before I knew it, all the things I thought were impossible, became easy.

This is to show that we are more than capable of completing, and withstanding anything that we face. Remain positive and thankful in trial. Believe in who God created you to be.

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.
