Don't Let The Past Determine Your Future

I often find myself saying, "What If I.... Would that change the situation? Well I learned this year let the past stay in the past. No matter how hard you try to change things in your mind and think of the ways you could of changed something or prevented something you can never change it!! So don't dwell on the past! Don't we all wish we could have a time machine and change something. I know I was thinking today" Man if I could go back in time I would have... and that could of changed everything for me. Well, I have news for you, no matter what you think you made the decision for a reason and every decision you have made in the past has lead you to today.

So remember when all you can think about is the past, that at the time that was most likely the best situation for you. Take things day by day, learn from your mistakes and strive to make the future the best it can be. Because in the end we all wish we had a time machine, but we don't. If you think about it, that one thing you could change may have made your life worse in the end. So remember you have your whole life in front of you , dont let the past determine your future!

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
