All Dreams Take Time

Don't give up.

We all have a bucket list. We all want to actually do the things on our bucket lists. Although life sometimes leads us in different directions, every day is a new day to make our dreams come true. Life is full of opportunities and it is up to us to make the right ones.

People get caught up in their own problems and they forget to do things that will fulfill their dreams. Our society encourages to promote the work lifestyle. They force working on individuals and for a person to relax here and there every once in a while. Vacation and getaways are not the only time we should take a break from work or our every day lives.

People think their dreams will never happen because of problems they face. They give up on their dreams and break down because it's so easy to do. But, in reality, nothing ever comes easy. Life is hard and dreams aren't meant to be easy. They are meant to be achieved. They take time. If reaching a dream was easy, then it was not meant to be reached in the first place.

Hard work should be rewarding, every single time. Whether something is accomplished or not, hard work pays off. Hard work is complicating and actions speak louder than words. Anyone can say they are going to do a certain thing, but are they actually going to? Saying something and doing something are two different things. People say they want to accomplish a dream, but never take the initiative to try.

We should build off of our dreams. Every break that we get to relax, find that time to work toward your dream. Little things add up to be big things. Get committed, find motivation, find people that support you and build you up as a person, and do something about your dream. Don't quit your dream. We were not born to go to work, pay bills, and die. We were made to live to the fullest.

So, whether your dream is to lose weight, a certain job, or traveling the world, work toward it one step at a time. Once you do reach your dream, reward yourself and begin a new dream. Dreams are bittersweet and making them come true is even more bittersweet.

If you want something you've never had, then you've got to do something you've never done.

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.
