Making Moments Matter

Never take a single moment for granted.

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about life and how quickly it can be taken away from us. It seems that everywhere I turn, a young person has left this earth too soon. They have lost their lives so suddenly and so tragically, and I find it hard to wrap my head around the concept of someone being here one minute and the next they are gone.

We all know that no one is promised tomorrow, but do we really understand the severity of that statement? Do we really understand that anything can happen in an instant and affect whether we will have a tomorrow or not? Are we making our moments matter? Are we making our mark and impact on the world?

These are questions that have been floating around in my head for the past few weeks. Am I making my moments matter? Am I telling the ones I love the most how much they mean to me? Am I making an impact on this world? This life we live is beautiful and in an instant, it can be gone. I think about those who have lost their lives so soon and won't get to experience things in life. I want to live my life to the fullest and make my moments matter. Not only for myself but for them as well.

I hope this article encourages you to make your moments in life matter. Don't be afraid to do things for certain reasons. Take that leap of faith and believe in yourself.

Tell those close to you that you love them.

Make them feel your love.

Don't take your moments in this life for granted.

Always be thankful for what you have and the capabilities that you have.

Know that you are loved, and make others around you feel that same love.

Don't spend your time tearing others down, but building them back up. Encourage one another and love one another. Choose joy and happiness each and every day.

Don't sweat the small stuff.

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.
