4 Reasons Change Can Be A Good Thing

Sometimes things don't work out how you expect them too. Sometimes your friends change, you change and sometimes you wake up with mustache sunglasses and you don't know how you got them. Life is full of so much uncertainty which is nothing short of terrifying. But I guess that's kind of the point right? I mean if everything was planned out perfectly nothing would be surprising, nothing would be exciting, nothing would be new. The world has given us things to be uncertain about so we can find comfort in the things we know for sure. We find comfort in the people who we know will always be there, we find comfort in knowing our favorite food will always make us feel better, we find comfort in watching videos of other people being stupid, so we feel less stupid. Unfortunately, those things that we once found comfort can change. Sometimes people get caught up and focused on how scary change can be when in reality it could turn out to be the best thing that's ever happened to you.


1. Change Makes Your Passionate:

Sometimes people get stuck in routines and become "too comfortable," when people reach this level of comfort it's as if there is no more passion in their lives. They look at the world as just another day, when in reality each day should be just as amazing as the last. Each day should be filled with at least one thing of excitement. One thing that you could tell as story about in the future.

2. Change Helps Your Grow:

People sometimes get stunted, they don't know how to move from the place where they've been for so long. People are either afraid of change or are too comfortable to change a situation where they haven't reached their full potential of happiness. Changing something even the littlest thing can open so many doors that you couldn't have ever imagined before. It allows you to meet different people, experience different things and become someone you are really proud of being.

3. Change Makes You Realize Your Strength:

Sometimes the uncertainties of life don't always turn out amazing. Sometimes it's hard and it may take a while to adapt to change, but once you do, you will meet an entirely new version of yourself who honestly just kicks ass.

4. Change Helps Your Realize The Good Things About Life:

Change forces you to re-evaluate the "comforts" in your life. It makes you think about what truly and whole-heartedly makes you happy. When change ends up leading to an unpleasant period of time, you have to be able to focus on the good things that are still part of your life.

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.
