Challenges, obstacles, and struggles. Life sure can be chaotic sometimes and I always seem to get into a funk when my life goes off balance.

Maybe that's because we have a tendency to want what we want when we want it. But I'm slowly learning that waiting is not so bad.

Waiting doesn't mean you're passive or that you've failed or your life is falling apart. When all is said and done it is just a part of life. That is why patience is something we have to continuously accept and learn.

There are times when things don't get done, there are delays, and hurdles are in the way. But it's okay to run out of time. There's always tomorrow, another day, or another year.

As cliche as it sounds, everything really does happen for a reason. This, as a concept, wasn't always in my realm of thinking. It has taken time for me to accept and understand it.

I spent a lot of last year focusing too much energy into making plans, worrying about my future, and stressing over expectations of how things should turn out.

This year I'm learning that timing won't always be against you and it won't be wrong. Doors have been opening full of change and opportunity.

Maybe all those timelines and dates I put for myself were all off and my journey is taking a totally different timeline.

So far I've come out with a bunch of really good lessons, a whole lot of wisdom, a new found strength and a more positive attitude.

Timing may not always be on my side but it's on the right side. The one that makes sense and will make my future not only better but easier.

Eventually, things will fall into place.

So for now I will let time take it's time.

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.
