So, this is right about that time of year that everyone starts talking about how they hate New Years Resolutions and refuse to make them. They claim that they work on "improving themselves" all year round. Although that may be true, I see no reason why people feel the need to be so fervently against making resolutions. I see them as limiting their self growth.

Across the internet, I have been seeing posts with a title similar to "If your looking for a sign, here it is." I always enjoy these blogs or videos because they usually discuss this idea of taking action in your life right now. It's so easy to push off that one thing you really want to do because the timing isn't right - but these posts often challenge the reader to reconsider what they are capable of. I would like to bring that idea to New Year's resolutions. This is the 'sign' telling you to act now, make that change and don't hold back. As Nike brand says - Just do it!

One part that I don't necessarily like about New Year's resolutions is when people wait until the New Year to take action. You shouldn't need a sign, but a sign definitely helps for people that need motivation. As cliche as it sounds, New Years is the perfect time for a fresh start.

I encourage everyone to make New Years resolutions that are meaningful and achievable. Make SMART goals and go back to review them periodically. Challenge yourself in 2018 to be the person you want to be. So, if you 're looking for a sign, here it is.

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.
