Follow your Dreams

If you Believe you can Go for it!!

9

So you think you can achieve whatever you want, you are absolutely right! You can be whatever you want in life.

As a five year old dreams of being a dancer her mom says Keep Dreaming and you will get there.

Getting there isn't as easy as it may sound, dancing takes alot of hard work and dedication. Kids are dreaming to be a dancer, actor, doctor, etc.

First Step: Imagine being a dancer on a stage full of many people watching you gracefully go across the stage. You give it your best and the crowd goes wild when you are finish. As soon as you get out of school, you get a scholarship to go to a dancing school. Dancing School is much harder than you ever imagined but you realize this is exactly what you have wanted. You give it your all and go to an audition and judges tell you that isn't what they were looking for. Do you quit? No. Do you give up? No. You will continue practicing and you keep trying. You may go for several auditions and it only makes you stronger and better.

After several attempts to make your dreams come true, you may start thinking you are not good enough. You meet so many new friends in the process from various places. You start to realize how lucky you are to be where you are in life.

Yes it is hard following your dreams especially while working, trying to keep a roof over your head and food to eat. Starving Artists is what we are called until we make it where we want to be in life. It is easy as five year old to dream it but life happens and it isn't always easy to follow our dreams and goals.

Don't ever let anyone discourage you or tell you are not good enough because you are good enough. Most girls dream of being a dancer, a princess is what they may see in their life.

Second Step:

Have Confidence in yourself! It does help that you have family and friends who support you. It doesn't matter if you have support from anyone, you have to do what makes you happy. Go to every audition that you can. Do your best!

Step Three: No matter what happes in your life whether you started a family sooner than you wanted, lose a loved one or whatever the case may be keep trying. You can accomplish anything yes you may go through so many different obstacles but you can do it. It doesn't matter if you are in your thirties, forties, fifties go for your goal and dreams. Have Confidence in yourself!!

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.
