8 Steps To Become A Millionaire In A Day
ericka jackson

Many of us go on a quest to become more that what we already are. As a species, we always look for ways to advance. From technology to building the highest skyscrapers, there is a reason we are on top of the food chain. Money is as old as time and we constantly chase the green paper with the face. Below, I will teach you how to become a "millionaire," but not in the way you may think, something better.

1. Open your eyes.

As soon as you wake up, we obviously open our eyes. Do you feel the air being inhaled into your lungs? Put your right hand on your chest; is your heart beating? You're alive, unlike the trillions of people below our feet. Be grateful.

2. Take a shower

That's right! Get up and pick an outfit that matches your mood and get in that shower. Let the warm water caress your body as if it's washing away sin. Let the soap lather you as if it was a blanket.

3. Put on your clothes.

So many jeans and shirts made out of fabric picked by somebody somewhere in the world. And there it is clean and hanging on the multi-colored hangers at your convenience.

4. Eat

There is nothing better then opening the fridge to find a variety of options, so much sometimes we can't choose. It feels even great when your stomach is roaring and you take the first bite to calm the beast.

5. Go to work

Although unemployment is at its highest right now, some of us are lucky to have a job. And if you're that employed American, you know that feeling of it being Friday and receiving your check which sums up your hard work for the week.

6. Go home

After your long day of errands and work, there is no better feeling than to go back to your sanctuary you call home. Look up at the roof which protects you from rain and shine, look at the walls that hold everything together. There is no place like home.

7. Go to bed

Release all your stress and worries and become one with your bed. It's as if you leave the world for a minute but promise to come back in the morning. You had your meals, and you made your money, now rest.

8. Repeat all of the above


When you went out to run your errands did you look around? Did you see that man under the bridge? Did you see that woman with the torn shirt? When you took a shower, did you think about how somebody only cleans themselves in a public restroom? When you took the first bite of the day did you think about how somebody else didn't have the privilege you did, to eat? When you opened that door to your home did you even think about how there is somebody out there who doesn't even have a home. You were always rich, now you know it.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
