What you give is important. Think about it.

Our relationships in life are important. So what do you give to them? To yourself? To God? To your loved ones?

What are you giving to your world?

Throughout many of my articles, I have discussed the Law of Attraction. If you are not familiar, the Law of Attraction basically is the belief of practicing positive thinking, living, ideas, and circumstances, with the expectation that they will manifest positive experiences in your life.

While growing in my faith, the Law of Attraction comes up more frequently in my day to day life. The times where I feel I am not my best are typically when I seem to be more aggressive, sad, and defensive.

In those moments, others respond with the same energy I am giving to the situation without really knowing they are affecting me.

Giving kindness to others is often done in a way different from the way I like to receive kindness. What I'm also learning is that people speak differently, they move differently. What I need is not what someone else needs.

Hence, self-awareness becomes a huge part of the Law of Attraction or me as sometimes in the past, I had not realized my reactive emotions were attracting undesirable circumstances to me.

It is a continuing process but I am becoming more aware of what I am giving to the world around me and what it's giving back.

I actively seek to provide an enriching, positive, loving, and passionate circle around me because to give to others challenges me to change your habits.

For example, not everyone will think you want support if you don't show support to others.

It's really simple because when you think about certain things you don't like to do, are they present in your life?

Probably not.

I don't like for people to disrespect me or people I care about. Therefore I extend respect to others always.

What you give says a lot about what you embody as an individual. It is in those simple acts of kindness that you start to impact your world and notice the things that changing and the circumstances you begin to attract.

"Be a mirror of everything you seek to give because what you give out will return" - Charleá Fields.

What you give is important. Think about 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.
