Sometimes in life you’ve just gotta lose. Yes I said it lose, fail, fall short, but just don't stay there.

In life its necessary to fail because in that failure you find your strength and are made aware of your weaknesses. Finding out your weaknesses is the best thing you could ever do. Of course no one ever wants to talk about failure but the truth is you’re the greatest in your failure. We must have this conversation because failure is inevitable. Everyone at some point fails at something but if you don’t know how to learn from that failure, you will allow that one mistake to overtake you and keep you stuck. In order to overcome failure you must realize the lesson in it, that lesson will ultimately help you during your success. Sometimes life presents you with those moments where things seem as I they are falling apart but don’t give in to the pressure, just embrace the moment and remember you are still here. Use that energy to allow yourself the strength to allow thing to fall back together because they always come back together. As long as your heart is beating there is still time for greater to occur in your life. Enjoy the good times but when the rough times come enjoy those too for the rough times teach you more than the good times ever will. One day you'll look back over your life and see that all of those moments were worth it after all. I was taught that you dont deserve to celebrate the reward if you weren't willing to celebrate and enjoy the process. Remember process lasts longer than anything else. You can make it but dont be afraid of failing . Let the failure propel you to greater heights with deeper motivation and passion. You can make it!

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.
