Worth The Wait

Patience is a virtue.

It seems people now are always looking for the quickest way to achieve a goal, gain a want, or benefit from a newly practiced routine. Everyone’s in a rush to get to where they think they want to be whether it’s gym goals or an actual physical destination they wish to reach. There are articles about how to get a toned body in a certain amount of “easy” steps a week, articles about the quickest way to make money, articles about the quickest way to lose weight or grow your hair longer or whatever else it is you might want to do but not spend a lot of time on.

As much as I sympathize with the idea of not wanting to spend countless hours on certain things we may want but don’t want to put the time and effort into…it really isn’t worth it without the will and energy put into it for an extended period of time. The hard work and dedication is what makes the outcome so rewarding and pleasing. Even if it’s something you’re not thrilled about at first, you will grow to at least somewhat like doing it or why else would you be doing it in the first place?

As tempting as it may be to read an article about how quick you can do something, try and remember that great change comes with time and persistence. In a world where everything is constantly changing so fast around us every moment it can be hard to recollect your thoughts and stay loyal to the “old-fashioned” way of simply trying and trying and trying again until you get to where you want to be. All great and meaningful change is an end result of consistent commitment and time.

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.
