Every day, people live lives they don't feel mean anything. The things they do don't seem to have meaning in the bigger picture of things, and they're really only living to make the best of their own insignificant life. It's depressing to think that countless individuals think they're just a drop in the ocean, and they make no difference to the world. That is the furthest thing from the truth.

Every person has an ability to change the world every day. Changing the world doesn't happen overnight or by one person, but a drop still creates a ripple that eventually can turn into a wave. Each person has a chance to make this world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. It may not seem like you're changing the world, but you are. The actions you do effect those around you in ways you'll never know, and those effects can be the beginning of a better world. It's like a web-- we're each only a tiny part, but through our connections we create this magnificent thing.

I've had countless individuals inspire me without even knowing they've driven me to want more from myself. They taught me lessons on how to do the right thing and be a better person, and this happens every day. People help push people in positive directions without ever knowing they are, but it's these small things that lead to more. Helping one person starts a chain reaction, and sometimes even by just changing that one person's world you've changed the whole world. You never know what they can do with the inspiration you gave them.

You may see your actions as small, but everything starts somewhere. Your actions can easily be the starting place of something great. Your small gestures or actions can change the world, but you can also do more than you think. You have the ability to change things on a larger scale too if you put forth the effort. You and everyone else have a thousand chances to start changing the world, don't waste them.

The world is not a perfect place and never will be, but it can still improve. Step out in the world and help make the changes it needs. Start small or go big, either way just start doing something. You have a chance to make the world a better place, don't waste your chance. Take every opportunity you get to do good; you could be the difference between something amazing and a disaster. You just have to take the chance.

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.
