The Art Of Getting What You Want

You might not have the cash to drop on 7 rings like Ariana Grande, but don't let that stop you from dreaming big. Within the past year, I have significantly changed my outlook on life and it has yielded me more opportunities than I could have ever imagined. Having always been an ambitious person, I used to set goals for myself but hesitated to act on them because I would constantly think about what could go wrong. Don't fall into the same mental trap. If you have a desire to pursue your passion, go at it with full speed. Here are some tips that will help you to master the art of getting what you want.

Drop the negativity and when you think you're dreaming big, dream bigger.

Before you can manifest a goal, you need to conceptualize it. If you have a negative mindset, this will be nearly impossible because you have already caused yourself to fail before even trying. Once you exit a negative headspace, you will be able to come up with goals and devise a plan to achieve them. As you let your creative thought process flow, ask yourself how you can make your ideas bigger and better. What do they lack, and what are you willing to do to make them happen? Let these questions guide you as you brainstorm.

Strive to be humble and the hardest worker in the room.

Never lose sight of the fact that everyone starts out a beginner, and that there will always be someone who is smarter and more talented than you. Once you come to accept these truths, you can go after your goals with humility and maybe even make some true friends along the way. Give every task your 100% effort and become the hardest worker in your group.

If you are truly passionate, quitting is not an option. Practicing persistence is key.

Instant gratification does not exist when it comes to achieving success. As long as you exhibit a drive for what you do, setbacks will not get in the way of what you are destined to accomplish. Never forget that to be successful, you have to be consistent, so continue to put in the time and energy to make it happen. Persistently going after your goals will bring you so much closer to getting what you want.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
