First off, anyone who has ever told you not to get too muscular needs to be weeded out of your life because you don't need that negativity. Seriously, it's hard enough at times to get the motivation when all you want to do is get some extra hours of sleep. In the world we live in today there is a lot of hate, therefore you need to do your best to surround yourself with as much happiness and positivity as you can. Here's four ways to becoming strong, in every sense of the word.

1. Be Unique.

Women aren't supposed to be "muscular" or " strong willed". Why you ask? I'll tell you why, because it's scary. A women who is determined and has a passionate goal can be unstoppable. There are so many different body types out there and if I can give any advice to any women it would be to be unique. If being muscular is what you want to be then be it. Chase that dream.

2. Don't be afraid to be strong.

In any form, whether that be mental or physical, don't be afraid to be strong. Work hard to reach your goals and don't allow anyone tell you that it's unattractive to have muscles. So do your squats, run those miles, and smile while doing it all.

3. Stand up for yourself.

If you are proud of yourself and work hard, then stand up for that. There is nothing wrong with being proud of yourself whether you're on day 1 or day 100. Don't stop, don't give up, keep going. There will be people who try to change you or vere off that path. Keep going.

4. Don't listen to anyone who tells you you're too muscular.

You've worked your butt off for a while and earned every ounce of muscle you have. Embrace it all and keep going. Anyone who doesn't let you be you shouldn't be in your life anyways. It's hard to be what everyone wants you to be so screw that and be everything you want to be.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
