Life Is Too Short For Regrets

Life Is Too Short For Regrets

From the moment we first open our eyes to when we take our last breath, we are given one life. One life to make as much of a difference in this world as we possibly can. One life to impact as many lives as we can. There are no do-overs. No matter how much we wish we could, we just can't. We just have to make the most out of every situation we are given. Life is too short for regrets. We regret more of the things that we don't do more than the things we do.

So say what you need to say. Do what you need to do. It's okay to skip the gym and eat that chocolate cupcake. The gym will still be there tomorrow. Tell the person who means the world to you, how much you love them because you don't always get a second chance. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them and how much they mean to you. We never know when the Lord is going to call us home. Don't go to bed angry over something that won't matter that much in a week. It's not worth the stress and the pain that you're putting on yourself. Don't burn bridges with people because you never realize how many times that you will have to cross over the same river.

You're not hurting the other person, you are just hurting you. We are all humans. We make mistakes. That is just a part of life. We live and we learn. Every mistake we make changes us. It shapes us into the person that the Lord needs us to be at that very moment. We never know how He is going to use us. There may be a person who is going through the exact same situation that you were and they need your guidance. You have a choice, either spend every day regretting the day before or move forward and make the best out of it.

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.
