5 Reasons To Smile Today

Lets be honest, I'm sure there are a million more reasons than just 5 to smile today. Just in case you forgot, here is a friendly reminder to never take a day, or any of the surprises it throws at you for granted.

1. You got up in the morning.

As ridiculous as it is to say, the gift of getting up today should be enough to make you grin at least a little. It may not seem like it when the alarm is blaring in your ear, but the opportunity to live another day, whether it be for you or someone else, cannot and should not be ignored.

2. Someone out there is thinking of you or has thought about you at least once today.

It's a beautiful thing to realize or even to think about that someone out there, whether you know them or not, has been thinking about you in the hopes of your well-being. I don't know about you, but even the prospect of that mysterious support is enough for me to smile at least a little.

3. Your presence is making an impact on someone else's life.

Whether or not you realize it, the actions you make have an impact in the life of someone else. All that you do, good or bad, doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. Don't forget that.

4. You mean more to this world than you realize.

You matter. The end.

5. You are loved.

Smile, each day brings on a challenge, but each day also brings on an opportunity to love. Allow yourself to be loved and allow yourself to love, it's what drives this world and it's what is going to change it.

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.
