Why you should be grateful for your problems.

You may be wondering why you should be grateful for your problems, so I'm going to tell you. Think to yourself right now, is there something you are upset with? Something that is bothering you? Okay now keep it in mind as you read.

Whatever your problem is, no matter how big or how small, there is a person out there wishing he or she had your problem. Why would anyone wish to have your problem? Because while your problem is that you did poor on a test, there is a person out there that is actually poor. While your problem is you can't afford the newest phone, there is a person out there that cannot afford to eat. While your problem is your headphones are missing, there is a mother out there who’s child is missing. Some people call these minor inconveniences “problems,” others would call them blessings.

No matter what your problems are just keep in mind, someone, somewhere is wishing for a life where minor inconveniences like such would be considered a problem. If you can learn to be grateful that these minor conveniences are the biggest things you have to worry about and realize it could be worse, you will be much more grateful. Life is so short, and there is so much to be appreciated. Make an effort to spend less time being upset over these “problems” when you can look around and appreciate them

Problems are blessings.

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.
