I'm The Girl That Knows I can Have A Successful Career And Be A Kick-A** Mom Someday

It's true, you can have your cake and eat it, too. That goes for pretty much anything in life. For me, that means I can go to school and work two jobs or when the time comes, I can have a successful career and be a kick-a** super mom, just like my mom was. It all comes down to balance and how well you can balance the priorities in your life, whatever they may be.

Knowing how to balance the situations and priorities life throws at you is actually a very important and useful skill to have and learn. For example, you can be a full-time student with an "A" average and work two jobs with 20 plus hours a week. That is doable. Trust me. It really is. You just need to find the balance between school and work, once you have a routine down you will be golden!

It is also possible to be a full-time mom and also have an amazing career. A woman with a dream and a vision is something un-stop-able. I mean come on look at Angelina Jolie, Hillary Duff, Tia and Tamara Mallory, Carrie Underwood, and Jamie Lynn Spears - all woman with thriving careers who are all hands on full-time moms.

You don't have to be famous to be able to do this. I think most of us are lucky to just have our own moms as an example. I know I am and one thing I know about my mom is that her kids are everything and once you know who you are and what you want to be, everything else will just fall into place.

That's right, it's true. I said it. You can have your cake and eat it, too, no matter what the case may be. Balance, determination, perseverance, and patience can go a long way.

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.
