Authenticity Leads To Your Destiny

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” -Dr. Seuss

I believe that the most important thing is to always believe in your authenticity; believing in your true self. If you do this you will end up where you are destined to be. You can’t get to where you are meant in life without staying true to who you are. I don’t think we can get anywhere in life without waking up every morning and doing what we love because it means something to us.

Not because it means doing something that the beautiful and famous people do. But, because being yourself feels so much better. If you want to look up to famous people then think about how they got there. We see so many successful people who are so unique and considered “one in a million.” But, that’s not because they wanted to be just like the person next to them. They knew who they were and pushed to be the best version of that person. They stayed true to their beliefs and their authenticity. If we live our lives based on the motives and styles based on someone else, we will be living for that person, not ourselves. We can so easily get wrapped up in this and start living a life that isn’t what we truly want or what we are supposed to have. Doing this ultimately comes in-between us and our destiny.

Most people find the concept of staying true to yourself difficult because of the fear of what people will think of you. That’s when you have to remember the good saying by Dr. Seuss, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” You must learn to only surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are and support what you do. Besides that, there will be some people who aren’t rooting for you, so along with the people who are rooting for you, you must root for yourself.

Some people may not have the same thoughts and actions as you but, that’s what makes you different from everyone else. That’s what makes you your most authentic self. Everyone has their own personality. Everyone has their own self. Everyone has their own destiny.

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.
