Be Your Own Hero

If there is one thing that everyone needs to learn in life it is that if there is anyone that needs to save you, it’s yourself. You need to be your own hero. You need to be able to save yourself. Pick yourselves up from rock bottom and become the person you’ve always wanted and always knew you could be.

Relying on other people gets you nowhere. You know that people can leave, that they will treat you awful, and when someone does that you always feel so low. Don’t let that happen to yourself. When life knocks you down you need to be able to pick yourself back up. You need to be able to keep going. There is nothing better than looking back and smiling and realizing that you are the reason that you made it. You are the reason you’ve made it this far.

Be proud of yourself, who cares if people think that’s wrong? Who cares what people think? Be your own hero. Be the person who picks you up and lets you feel amazing. Lets you feel like you can fly. You are in charge of your heart. You are in charge of your feelings. Never let anyone make you feel lesser than you are. Never, ever doubt yourself. Don’t rely on someone else to save you. You are strong enough to save yourself. Life is going to knock you down. You are going to think you need someone to pick you up again, but you don't. You don't need anyone to lift you up and help you carry on. You are strong enough to become the person you want. To dig yourself out of whatever situation you are in.

Don't ever rely on another person to make you feel whole. Don't ever rely on another person to make you feel good enough. Whatever you want to do in life, whatever dreams you have, go out and do them. Don't let anyone make you think you aren't able to do it. I promise you, you are strong enough to accomplish your dreams. You don't need someone to tell you that you're strong. That you're good enough. You can make yourself into whoever you choose to be.

Never ever let someone tell you different. When you're lost and confused and you're pretty sure the only option you have in life is to give up, keep going. Make yourself into the hero you've always tried to find in other people. You can be the person you've always wanted to be. Stop looking at other people for approval. You don't need approval to be the person you were meant to be. Stop letting the world tell you who you can and can't be. Don't look for another person to make you feel alive. Be strong and be tough. Become your own hero, it's amazing where this life can take you once you believe in yourself.

“Sometime’s you just gotta be your own hero and save your own little heart.”

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.
