You Deserve The World

It is time to give yourself more credit for how amazing you are

You Deserve The World

You deserve the world. Sometimes it is hard to see yourself in a positive light. You feel like everything you do is wrong, you are not good enough, and no matter how hard you try things just will not go your way. Negative thoughts are more easy to think of than positive thoughts. For some reason we tend to see the bad in ourselves rather than the good. Our amazing qualities are overshadowed by the things that we wish we were or what we want to become. It is time to take a step back from that a realize who you truly are: an incredible human being.

You are good enough. Hard to believe but you are and you need to start giving yourself more credit. Just because someone does not see your worth does not mean you are worthless. It does not mean that you aren't good enough for them but that they were not good enough to see how wonderful you are. You are also good enough to pursue your dreams. You may hit some blocks in the road and setbacks, but never give up. Life is a big challenge but you have the strength to overcome every single obstacle. You are good enough to do whatever your heart desires.

Breathe in the positive and out the negative. We can easily see the flaws we have, but I promise that there are less flaws and more good things about you than what you actually see. You are way too hard on yourself. You are beautiful, unique, and gifted. Take a moment out of each day and think about what you love about yourself. Soon enough you will start to believe it the more you think about it. Whatever it is that you do not like about yourself probably is not as big of a deal than what you really think it is. So start loving yourself and quit shaming yourself for who you are not, because you deserve to love yourself and feel the beauty that everyone else sees in you.

Finally, start putting yourself first. Do what makes you happy and not what everyone wants you to do or what you think will make others happy. It is always good to be considerate and kind to others, but more import to be kind and considerate to yourself. The more you make yourself happy the more you will be able to spread that joy to others. Putting yourself first will lead you to many wonderful opportunities, and a happier life. Just make sure you surround yourself with postive supportive people who encourage you to be the person who you are, and do the same to them. You only have one life so be as happy as you want to be.

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.
