Sometimes we find that it's not so easy to find the positive things in life. Something bad happens, and that's literally all we can think about. It's perfectly fine to be negative sometimes because it's just natural in a difficult situation. Our emotions get altered. That bad situation that happened can cause stress, anger, pain, anxiety, etc. But from what I've learned, you also do need to stay positive in difficult situations.

If you let the negativity take over your thoughts and actions, you can find that it's hard to get back to that. We need more positivity in the world. We can't let the negativity win. If we surrender to all the bad things in life and focus on the negatives, we are defeated. And that's not what we should be doing in life. We're not going to stay defeated, we want to be winners. We want to be happy. So why does negativity still linger whenever something bad happens? Why can't we just stay positive?

It's not that easy. For me personally, I strive to look for the positives in a difficult situation so I don't let the negativity take over. We shouldn't quit and throw in the towel and let the negativity take over. We need to give positivity that extra boost.

It's hard, but not impossible and we should all strive to be more positive in life and ignore the negativity. Be the first to spread the positivity when something goes wrong. Remind yourself that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't know that reason. Remind yourself that it's just a small set back and keep on going, it will get better. Even if you are the only one who stays positive, that's just one step closer to making this world a little more positive, despite the tragedy that happens.Go out there and spread that happiness!

Stay Positive, Friends! It does in fact get better!

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.
