Be The Change That You Wish To See In The World

Sometimes things don't go your way and the world appears to be crumbling down around you. You are constantly slammed with bad news and feel like you've been hit by a semi. Sometimes it is hard to see the light of things when you've been surrounded in darkness for so long. The thing is, life won't get better unless you make the first step to make improvements. If you don't like what is going on in the world then start becoming the change you want to see. Be there for people who need help, look for beauty in bad situations, and let happiness come to you and fill you up. Be love in a world filled with hate and keep a positive mind during negative times. You'll be surprised to see how far a little love and postivity will take you. With so many bad things happening lately, here are some quotes to maybe bring some inspiration and peace to your life.

They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
