One Word. One Year. Just Do It.

One Word. One Year. Just Do It.

The other day, I sat down and watched a video that a friend shared with me and told me to watch. The video was called “Remember: an inspirational video.” The overall message of the video was that people are consumed by immense amounts of fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of being judged, fear of failure, fear of rejection, and fear of things that are even unknown as fear at times. I really got a lot of thinking out of the video, so I decided to share some key ideas I had after watching the video.

The main theme of the video is the reason people are not living to their full potential, which happens to be fear. Sounds plain and simple, but the video shares how fear is overtaking some people’s minds and lives, and causing them to live with constant anxiety.

This video also discussed a study that looked at how people reacted to finding out they only had a certain amount of time left to live. The study found that people started actually living and went from powerless to powerful. One of the main conclusions of the video is that your time is limited, so don’t hold back or be fearful. One powerful quote from the video is “When you face your fears, you become the person you want to be. When you run away from your fear, you’re not living.”

Finally, the last part of the video discusses the idea that you must be willing to risk failure to succeed and that absolute motivation is the key to success. One of the final quotes we are left with is by Albert Einstein: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

I would definitely suggest this video to anyone really, but especially anyone who is looking to be inspired or regenerated of some sort to watch this video. The video can be viewed from so many different angles and can teach countless lessons to anyone. If there is one thing I would like to leave people with from the video, it would be this: “Join the movement to maintain your motivation.”

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.
