When To Mind Your Own Business

Knowing when to stay in your lane

When To Mind Your Own Business
ERE Media

If you stay in your own lane, I'll stay in mine is the number one rule everyone should live by. I never understood why people find other people lives so intriguing that they make it a topic of discussion. If we learned to unite and tend to our own garden and quit trying to figure out what is growing in the next person's garden, the world would be a much better place. I was watching the Shahs of Sunset and Golnesa made a powerful statement, "If they reach out to me I will be there for them one hundred percent; until that day comes, I'm not involving myself." I know her other friends were concerned for their friend, but there comes a point in time that you have to allow them the space and opportunity to let you in. It's all in boundaries and knowing your limits and not taking it overboard to where you are making a scene and looking like an imbecile.

How can one withhold information about themselves, but are so willing to give up information about others? If it isn't putting you in any kind of danger why would anyone find pleasure in others' affliction. You have to remember that whatever you put out in the universe will return back to you. For the actions that you perform, you can't choose the consequence that come your way. Just make sure you know who is around you (your real friends) and know that what happens in the circle stays in the circle. It is none of my business what you do on your personal time, neither is it any of your business what I do with mine. Do you think these celebrities sit around worrying about some of the ridiculous stories that come out about them? One thing is certain, and two things are for sure: they are still making money while you figure out if they are pregnant, is there trouble in their relationship or why they cheated on the spouse? Or you make a big production out of what a person does with their live because you don't know how to feel about how they want to live their life?

At the end of the day you have to wish that person the best and hope and pray that everything works out for them. One thing I've learned is to be the best support system a person can have. It's not up to you to understand but to simply be there.

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.
