"I don't know what to do". "I feel like I'm in a rut". We've all been there at one point or another. Fear. Stress. Unhappiness. Confusion. Insecurity. Whatever it is you're feeling, I'm here to tell you I've been there before. But more importantly - it gets better.

"Nothing can bring you happiness but yourself" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Happiness is not something ready made or available in stores, but rather something self created from your own actions and choices.

"Breathe. Let Go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure." - Oprah

One of my all time favorite quotes. Stop dwelling on what's happened or what might happen, and take a step back to recognize what is right now. Learn to appreciate every moment for what it is!

"It is important from time to time to slow down, to go away by yourself, and simply be." - Eileen Caddy

It's so easy to get wrapped up in everything going on around us, that sometimes we forget to take a step back and focus on ourselves. Slowing down to practice self-care is something I cannot stress enough! Whether that means putting on a face mask or watching one of your old favorite movies, granting some time to yourself will actually help you feel better. Your clarity of thought will come back into focus and you'll feel like yourself again.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts" - Winston Churchhill

Don't let the idea of failure prevent you from trying. Otherwise, you'll miss out on so many opportunities for potential success! Pushing through this fear is not always easy, but in the end so much more worthwhile.

"Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are" - Theodore Roosevelt

Start where you are! Remember that it's a marathon, not a race. Work for consistency with your mindfulness and positivity, celebrate the small milestones, and remember the power of baby steps.

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.
