Start Asking Yourself What Makes you..YOU

I never thought in a million years that I would have to think about my actions before making them happen. I always thought if you want to fight for something you have to give it your 100%.

Well, I just found out that not everything is worth the fight and maybe you just have to let go to see what will become of it. There are so many things that can make you think. Like this for example; family’s or friend’s issues or just something with yourself. I know for fact that all of us have been through something very similar because we are all humans and we make mistakes.

Well, I made up these questions and thought that maybe you want to answer them and see what type of person you are and no matter what that result is just think to yourself am I where I am suppose to be. When I wrote these questions I was at my job which I love to do, it made me think about the kids' future and what they might become in the future and if they would follow their heart or mind.

First questions are; when do you realize that it's finally goodbye? When do you know to give up? When do you see what you are worth? When do you know when better things come along? When do you realize what you are doing will impact the world around?

Second questions are; where do you want to go to get peace? Where do you want to live? Where is your happy place? Where would like to travel? Where does love and happiness come from?

Third questions are; what is definition of yourself? What is love and happiness? What value are you to this world? What makes you believe in life? What makes you fall for love?

Fourth questions are; who influences your actions? Who is in control? Who believes in you or not? Who questioning you, for who you are? Who is the person you want to be?

Lastly, the fifth questions are; why do you think the way you do? Why are you the way you are? Why do we fall for love and happiness? Why do we care so much? Why is it important to be yourself?

I answered these questions and found out that I need to be a little bit selfish. Also that everything in life happens for a reason and you cannot control what happens. In addition to that what I have learned is that I need to let go of the past and live in the present and hope that future is bright.

Once you are done answering these questions see your answers and evaluate yourself. Maybe it is time for a change or you are doing what makes you happy. Just know that everyone questions everything they do after it happens. I hope you realize that you need to figure out who you are before letting anyone decide 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.
