Why It Is So Important To Pour Love Into Other People

“Love all, serve all, because when you pour yourself and love into others, you never know whose life you might change.”

Sometimes life gets hard, but that’s just how life is. Sometimes we allow ourselves to believe that we deserve less just because life gets hard. Sometimes we get rejected from something we wanted more than anything. Sometimes we lose people we cared about and loved. Sometimes everything you have to give just isn't good enough. So yes, life can get hard, but those hardships will pass, and you will come out stronger than before.

However, it is so important to remember that you are not the hardships that life throws at you. You are not that missed opportunity, you are not your imperfections, you are not that rejection, and you are not your mistakes, failures, and regrets. You cannot define yourself based off of the things that life threw at you and the things that just didn’t work out and go as you had planned. When things like this happen it is important to take the time to look closer at ourselves and realize what we deserve. We need to stop looking at what we think are our flaws and focus on the fact that after we are able to look past our flaws, we can see the beautiful things we have been blessed with in our life. We deserve so much more than we give ourselves credit for. We deserve to be somebody’s first choice. We deserve to feel like we mean something to someone. We deserve to be surrounded with people that pour love into us whenever we are with them. When you understand what you mean to yourself, you will understand what you should mean to those around you.

I think the best way to help turn around a bad day, week, etc. is to pour love into other people and fill people’s cups as much as full as possible. When you pour love and fill people’s cups up, know that this is an opportunity for you to change a person’s life. Remember that when you are pouring yourself and love in to others that it isn’t about who or what you’re loving but why you are loving on them and filling their cup. If you spread the positivity and love to others you will be able to give them hope and that is something we should all aspire to do each and every day.

Each and every day, when you wake up, decide that you are going to be the best version of yourself that day, that you are going to pour yourself and love into as many people as possible, and that you are going to be a ray of sunshine in that person's life that day in that moment. If you do this every day, I promise you will never have another bad day.

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.
