Always Be Yourself, Always

Do you ever doubt all of your abilities?

Always Be Yourself, Always

I'm done apologizing for my presence, and you should be to. It's not fair to your or your body when you accept the fact that you are not good enough when that is such a lie. You are good enough, in fact you are the best. You are the best at you. No, this is no cliche because I am telling you this out of pure sincerity. For all of civilization, we have given ourselves these limits, these barriers that defeat our confidence and overlook our massive potential. Whatever your dream may be, as long as it's safe enough for you to remain healthy and happy, it is not an impossible. Seriously. We dream. If you haven't already been informed, we are our harshest critics and we never consider our real potential. It shouldn't matter what ANYONE else says or thinks because they don't determine your future, you do.

Maybe you are in a rut, stuck in the quick sand of how you believe society views you. There is a way to pull yourself out of it. Even if you think you are in too deep with one bad habit, an undesired lifestyle, or feel underrated by your peers/colleagues, you are able to stand back up and start fresh. It is all in your head my lovelies, therefore your perspective is 100% within your control.

There have been so many instances where everything in life seems too overwhelming to handle for me as I try to juggle school, succeeding within my passionate extracurriculars, and making sure the people around me are all happy. You have to understand that everyone has a maximum point of what they can handle and how far they can push their abilities until they burn out. Everyone is their own unique, beautifully hand-crafted machine, with it's own ever-changing manual as the machine takes on new challenges in life. You will learn the maximum abilities of your own body and mind and that is when you can finally separate what you can add or retain in your lifestyle to improve your character, along with what will make you feel helpless and over-exhausted.

I wish you best of luck on your personal journey in unraveling exactly what you can do to positively enhance your current knowledge and skills, as well as take on appropriately-timed obstacles to help you grow and remain and open-minded, well-balanced life. As life is all that you make of it, and I highly recommend finding the balance between enjoying its beauty and achieving greatness. Thank you.

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.
