It Doesn't get Easier, You Get Better at It

Just a Quote I Live By

It Doesn't get Easier, You Get Better at It
Lukus Becker

"It never gets easier, you just get better at it." This is quote that resonates with me and I remind myself of it often. It is something that applies often in life, especially when facing adversity. I think I have learned the most from this quote and it has encouraged me to not back down from opportunities that are intimidating.

One area this quote often comes up is within my running. Often it feels like I have ran enough that it should get easier and the only thing that should challenge me is faster or longer. But constantly I have days that it doesn't feel easier, that I feel like my work is for nothing. It took me awhile to realize that it wasn't getting easier, I was just getting use to working my body at that level. That it was more of my perception of running in that I knew I could run at this level

Also when looking to take part in a new position or apply for a job I am not always confident if I can do it. But I have learned through experience that you will learn to do the same tasks that you thought impossible and it will be the same task but you got better at it. So honestly I just think about the position or job after I would get use to doing tasks. This gives me an accurate idea of what I would feel completing this task or position.

So in conclusion I hope these are words of inspiration to believe that you can do it and if it seems impossible you will get better at it.

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.
