Life Is A Never Ending Struggle

Why struggle when there is no need to?

Life Is A Never Ending Struggle
Alicia Sansone

Why do we struggle so much in life? Why does it seem like the terrors of the night and the screams of the day will never go away? Why do we keep holding on if we can't get out of the nightmare?

There are many things throughout the day and night that catch us off guard. They may be bad, but they could end up being great life lessons.

What could one example be? Let's say you have never gone to jail or you don't get into trouble period. Your friends want to go get something from a bakery, but you did not know that they were not going to buy anything. They tell you to stay outside and let them know if anyone is coming. Boom! They just broke the window. Glass is all over the ground now. Sirens are coming your way, and the police pull up and the only person they find is you. Yes, just you. Your friends are long gone by now.

What would the life lesson be from that? Don't get caught next time! Yes, that could be a lesson, but I would think the life lesson would be don't do things you don't want to. Those friends probably aren't that good of friends to be hanging out with, anyway.

Life is a struggle, and even though it feels like we will never get away, we will! Hold on! Don't give up on life! My life matters because Jesus died on the cross so that I could live, by having the Holy Spirit inside my soul, I will not die. No, I will leave this earth when it is God's Will and I will live forever in His kingdom! My life isn't over, it's just began, and I will make the best of each moment. There is always going to be a great surprise at the end of the struggle.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
