Why Worry?

It just causes more anxiety.

Why Worry?
GymLion

Everyone worries from time to time about various things. It’s human. A bit of the heart-racing and sweaty palms is common. Some things aren’t worth worrying about though. Whatever you are worrying about, you probably have no control over. All you can do is try your best in the situation. The outcome is usually not up to you in the end, so why worry about it? Fate will have its way and find the right path for you.

Lately, when I worry about something, I find that the situation ends up fine, and I had nothing to worry about. I realized that worrying about something is pointless. What do you gain from worrying? Absolutely nothing. It doesn’t change the outcome of the situation you’re worrying about. It doesn’t help persuade the situation to be in your favor. It does nothing but gives you anxiety.

Keeping the mindset of “worrying does nothing for you” can improve the way you live. Obviously, there are some events you may run into where your heart is racing, and you can’t help it. That’s understandable, but constantly thinking about the situation will not benefit you. Keep this in mind the next time you’re going to worry about something: It does nothing for you.

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.
