How To Get Through A Tough Situation When You Want To Give Up

Life is tough, but we are tougher.

Life is hard, and we all deal with so much. One thing about us all is our circumstances are all unique in their own way. We are all biased about the level of toughness a situation may be on us and although we hear people say "I have gone through tough moments," no one truly understands how hard things are but ourselves. But please know that you will get through it. You will find a way out and you will succeed in whatever you place your heart and mind into.

When it comes to my own tough moments, one way I learned to cope and resolve things is by first relaxing. At the moment of catastrophe, your brain and feelings are all over the place. In order to assess an issue, you have to be fully aware, awake and focused. Try to relax. You can draw, write, clean, go out for a jog or whatever to relax your mind. Once your brain and body are relaxed, you can focus better on analyzing any issue.

When in the analyzing portion, try to see where the problem came from. Retrace your steps and figure out where things went wrong. From there, you will know the right people to ask questions to for help. If you can't find anyone, look for an advisor or social worker that might have the answers you're looking for. From there, you execute solutions and put them to practice, in other words, you put the Plan A, B and maybe C to action.

You will feel better at the end because with every plan, you are slowly solving the issue. Don't give up until you have reached your goal. Life is a roller coaster, in every high, there is a low and vice versa. The point is, we will always have days that are tougher than others, I am not going to sugar coat things here because life is not a fairytale, but we can all choose to go through it and become stronger in whatever we go through, because first, it will get us to become better people, and second, we can help others going through similar issues. Remember, it is just a bad day, not a bad life. Don't give up.

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.
