Anyone Can Be A Winner in Life, But Here’s What You Have To Do
Andrew Neel

The people that we know to be successful have that reputation for a reason. Apart from being hard workers, they stand out from others in a very significant way. You can even say that such people are a different breed and made up of a load of unique ingredients. Success is not inherent and you, too, can find yourself in that category of exceptional individuals. In order to become a successful person in anything, you must understand what it exactly takes to be so. The one, most important thing that all highly successful individuals possess is a winner's mentality. It makes sense, right? In order to win, you must have the mindset of a winner. How can this be achieved? Firstly, you must clearly define what you want. You must establish your goals and prioritize. Think about what is most important for you to achieve. Once you do this, you must take consistent action towards that goal. Winners know that setting goals is only half the battle; the work still needs to be done, and it is through action that you can accomplish whatever it is that you want. A critical element of action is consistency. Success does not come with intermittent actions; it is a result of repeated dedication. With a winner's mentality, you must understand that you must stay positive even when the going gets tough, because it is usually through challenges and hardships that people give up. We all know that winners never quit, and that couldn't be truer. When you find yourself lacking the motivation to keep going, remember why you started in the first place. Winners have a purpose, and when creating goals for yourself, you must always have and refer to a purpose. A final component of developing a winner's mindset is to let go of fear of failure and to learn to take risks. A majority of people is hindered by a fear of failure and judgment of others. The winners in life could care less what people think of them. They are concerned with accomplishing things for themselves and even for others. They take risks even if things might not work out as they hoped they would. When this happens, and trust that it will happen at some point, remember that truly successful people move on, learn from their experiences and keep working towards their goals. While developing a winner's mentality is easier said than done, take important consideration of these tips and be aware of how you can incorporate them in your daily life. You'll be able to see that you can apply them to anything in your life, and by consistently using them you'll start to see success.

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.
