"Above all, try something."

-Franklin D. Roosevelt

What is life without risks? Each success story began with an impossible dream. Don't work for less because you doubt you could achieve more. Dare to believe in possibility, in the magic of your journey, and the belief your ending will be one of grandeur.

Even if rocky paths loom before you, take a deep breath and remind yourself of your capabilities and the strength you harbor within you. The unknown can be overwhelming and the sense of fear can send you hightailing it back to your comfort zone, but what rewards are awaiting you there?

Embrace new experiences, new mistakes and new failures, because they're shaping you into a person who is destined for great things. Spend every moment trying something until you stumble onto what you love most, then pursue it with everything you've got. Passions are worth exploring and experiences worth having. The life you're curating is one you have to be proud of, so make it full.

Try loving, try moving to the city you've always dreamed of living in, try writing that book or recording that album you've been dreaming of and see where it takes you; attempting even the smallest of things can cause a ripple effect. Be brave in the face of overwhelming fear, persevere when you feel too worn down to carry on, and keep faith when your heart is shattered.

Try every heart aching experience, feel it as much as you can, learn from it, then move onto the next thing. Life is a trial and error process, so don't count yourself out at the first unfavorable outcome. Get up when you've been shoved to the ground and decide you're only one attempt away from the right opportunity and the right adventure; "but above all, try something."

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
