What It Means To Discover The Power Of Your 'Might'

You 'might' be the greatest, and you 'might' not, but when has that ever stopped anyone before?

You might not have gotten the job you were perfect for.

You might have ended a relationship you thought would never end.

You might have lost a loved one or suffered a trauma.

You might have made one, two or a dozen mistakes, and each of these mistakes might be pivoting you into a great opportunity, job, relationship or complete happiness. These mistakes might also be just that: mistakes. Not every mistake is a cause for learning and growing.

You might have done a lot of things to land you in the place you are right now. You might have repeatedly fooled yourself into believing that your situation was different. That you were different.

You might be at a crossroads. You may have told yourself that you could fix things. You may have given yourself false hope.

You might have royally screwed up.

You might have.

You might be a lot of things, and you might not. You might be next in line to achieve complete happiness, or you might have a long way to go. You might be the next Oprah or Bill Gates. You might not.

You might be the greatest at x, y, and z, and you might not.

Life is not about knowing when things will finally turn around. You might be happy now, you might have everything you ever wanted, but that doesn't guarantee that this is as good as it's gonna' get.

"Might" expresses a possibility. Thus, life is full of good and bad "mights." Those that are hopeful and full of promise, and those that are devastating and steer you away from hope.

There is, however, another Might. This Might is about the human will and capacity for us to hold great and impressive power.

You might not have a direction or path laid out for you. You might have known this journey all along.

No matter what might or might not happen, you have something stronger than well-laid plans and good intentions. Your "Might" is stronger than any "may" or "may not".

I might not be the best person to tell you the power of your "Might," but then again, I just might.

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.
