How Bad Do You Want It?

Dear Self,

How bad do you want itself? How bad you really want to be successful in your own right, self? Is your success worth losing sleep over? Are you really in this? Self, wake up! Please do not get caught up in the fairytale lifestyle, Walt Disney did not write your destiny if you do not take action things will not be happily ever after for you! You have to get up and go get what you want, nothing is going to be given too easily.

You basically have to just go and grab what you want right now in life and never let go. Nobody is going to go out and get your dreams for you but you. As much as your parents, sibling, friends and family love you and want you to be successful, you have to go get it for yourself! Give yourself the green light in life, don't sit there and wait for somebody to give it to you!

"When you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you'll be successful"

Is your heart really in your success? You can do anything you set your mind to, you just have to want it! Find that drive find that hunger and go get what is yours. Even when you feel like you've done enough do a little more. Try even harder go above what you're capable self, push yourself to every limit you have and once you reach that limit push even harder! You are going to have to be willing to lose somethings in order to gain all that you want. And that's perfectly fine let old unneeded baggage go, create a clean slate for yourself and GO! Go get what you want, get your hearts desires whose really stopping you self?

Self if all else fails remember the bible says "Eyes have not seen nor ear have heard the things God has prepared for those who love him." Keep God first and let him lead and guide you, trust and love him! Well, how do you trust him? How do you let him lead and guide you to your destiny? Right? I know that's what you're thinking but you start with prayer. Thank God for all the blessings he's already given you, thank him for all of the hurt and the pain that he's allowed you to go through. Always thank God for loving you unconditionally and keeping you! Ask him to order your steps into his will for you, ask that you be decreased and he be increased in you all times. Most importantly just seek him!

Love,

...Self

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.
