Never Settle

Life is not about taking steps.

Never Settle
Makayla Davis

Trying things for the first time can be scary. It is way out of your comfort zone and you do not know if you would ever want to do it. There are plenty of adventures out there that are hard to figure out if you really want to do it. Are there risks to it? Is that risk big enough for me to really worry about it? What you should be thinking is "why am I afraid?" If you face your fears than there are many of adventures for you to do. Life will never be boring and you will be a the person you were jealous of because you live outside your comfort zone.

Living inside your comfort zone is taking the obvious steps in life. Those steps are going to school, graduate, get a job, and retire hopefully early. Another life staircase is get married, have a baby, then you can live happily ever after with that family. If that is your goal in life then have fun and live your life like that. If you want more than the small town goals then widen your goals and have an open mind. If you do not have an open mind and are afraid of the risks then you will end up living that life's easy steps list.

Set little and big goals for your life. What do you look at on Pintrest that is your dream? You need to figure out what gets the adrenaline pumping in your veins. You also need to learn to never settle in your life. When you figure out those things use the Nike phrase "Just Do It." Figure out little goals to widen your comfort zone or to figure out how to get your big goal in life done. If your big goal is to travel to Europe then widen your comfort zone and be open-minded. Maybe instead of living your life as working so much of your life to get enough money, find an online job and backpack in Europe for six months. Be Adventurous. Be Open-Minded. Widen Your Comfort Zone.

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.
