Dreams And Aspirations

What are your dreams for life?

Dreams and aspirations can do wondrous things for people in life. Dreams can push us to do things that we normally wouldn't do or help us find out that there are things in life we can do when we thought we couldn't. Dreams and aspirations can also do not so wondrous things for us. I know many people have the fear of not being able to fulfill their dreams. The fear that something won't happen or they can't do whatever it is that they want to do. This fear also goes hand in hand with the fear of letting others down. These fears are very legitimate things but they should not stop us on this path.

A lot of times, as much as we may not want to agree with this, we are what gets in the ways of our dreams. Mentally, we as people have a very belittling mind. All it takes is one thought to completely dismantle our dreams. As depressing as that may be, we must remember that our dreams and the places we will be once are dreams are fulfilled are great enough things that one bad thought shouldn't be enough to make us flinch. Fear is one of the greatest emotions, it is true. However, fear is not invincible. Fear can be overcome by enough hope and positivity.

Sometimes friends are key in helping us on the path to our dreams. People with similar dreams are people who we could use in these times. People who can unite under common goals are people who we can always count on to keep our dreams alive. People who we find have like goals and aspirations won't want us to think negatively or feel fear. They are always there with a shoulder for us to lean on just as they would hope we would be there for them. It is important to put ourselves in the sort of light where we can empathize with people. How would we want to be treated in this situation? If I was feeling upset or fearing my aspirations, how would I want people to help me out? When we think in this sort of way, we never feel as if others are looking down on our dreams and we won't do the same to them.

Dreams are a powerful thing. Yet, they are always changing. Today's dreams could change by tomorrow and then change ten times more in a week, but thats the great things about dreams. They are yours. You are allowed to decide what it is that you want. No one can say that your dreams are unrealistic or that you are not living up to your potential. You can do whatever it is you want to and no one can get into the way of your dreams. Live to see your dreams come to fruition. Take a friend or three along with you for the ride if you want.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
