What Is The Most Important Thing In Life?
messageglue

The most important thing in life may not be found just because so many different people are worried about what others think of them. They try to fit in so much that they stand out due to their efforts. Not to mention they lose themselves in the process. With this losing of yourself you become

Invisible. 

I recently had the opportunity to need to do a presentation in my Leadership and Mentoring class but I knew that I had to do something different. I did not want to do what most people would have done for the term "creative" because this "creative" is really not creative. To be honest it's more lazy than creative. I knew that I needed to do something different. So I used very little written words and decided hey if I can do this like a piece of performance art then I would be able to do this presentation without being bored. And you know what structuring my thought process like this I was able to storyboard what I wanted my presentation to be in twenty to thirty minutes.

So I'm presenting and during the active listening part I put on bunny ears which is a nod to my favorite show Drop Dead Diva, and I do yoga poses in my self care part to give a nod to how easy it can be to take care of yourself. I'm having fun and I have voiceovers and I'm fighting with the computer.

But when it's done guess what? I'm praised for being different! What? Why should I be praised for being me. Why should I be praised for being

visible

I feel bad for those that aren't comfortable to be themselves. Which brings up the most important thing.

The most important thing in life is neither tall nor small.

It cannot be seen with the naked eye.

It cannot be fully explained.

But it is the most important thing of all.

It is the ability to be comfortable to always be yourself.

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.
