My Morning Just Got A Little Better
Orogold

Those first moments of waking up in the morning has everyone feeling drained. We beg our alarm clocks for more time to sleep, starting our days off grumpy and the entire day follows. Well, I’m here to give you a few tricks into knocking out that morning grouch and kicking ass through out the day.

1. Pray

Sounds cliché, but it really works. This should be the first thing you do once you open your eyes. Thank God for another day, and thank Him for everything he will do, has done, and will do in the future. Be grateful that you were blessed to tackle another day on this earth.

2. Mentally prepare yourself for a great day.

I watched this documentary on Netflix is called The Secret and I think that if you’re reading it, you should also. It focuses on the Laws of Attraction, meaning that what you think becomes reality. Your life becomes what you speak, you control the events that come in your life based on your thought process. If you think negative when you wake up in the morning, your entire day is going to be consistently negative. Wake in the morning and tell yourself that everything is going to be great today and reflect it through your actions. It makes a difference.

3. Make a goal or kind gesture.

Speak to someone today that you normally wouldn’t. Give that homeless guy some change. Pick up something that someone dropped. Compliment that girl that nobody speaks to, get to know her. Try something new. Everyday should be a learning experience, try something new today.

Of course there are a few other things that you could add to make this list longer, like to exercise, eat breakfast, maybe even drink a cup of tea. These are just a few of my favorite things that have worked for me and hopefully can add a little good to your day, too.

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.
