How To Turn Dreams Into Reality

Believing in yourself is the easiest way to prove everyone wrong.

How To Turn Dreams Into Reality

No dream is too big or unachievable.

No mistake ever made can’t be a lesson learned. Ten failures could lead to an amazing success.

Never sell yourself short. Never let anyone tell you you can’t. If you believe you're capable, if you believe in yourself more than anyone else does, you will succeed and all your wildest dreams will come true.

Growing up we were always asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” The President of the United States. An astronaut. An actor. And so on. Every kid has a crazy imagination that provides a sense of humor among all adults. And that’s where the limitation began.

These ideas and aspiration should not be a child’s “wild imagination.” It should be supported and implied that they’re capable of anything through hard work and dedication. Will they most likely change their mind? Maybe. But why limit them or suggest it isn't a possibility?

Limitation isn’t only suggested as children. Society has so much doubt in our generation that it has allowed doubt slip into our lives. It has led us to believe that our dreams will never be achieved because “it’s impossible” or “too much work.”

Somewhere along the line, society stopped rooting for our generation to succeed. Somewhere along the line, the generation before us decided we were incapable of much. And I think that is B.S.

We are the next generation of brilliance, success, and dedication. Simply put, just because there is a handful of screw ups doesn’t make us all one.

We would achieve so much more than we already have if you would stop telling us we can’t. If you would stop telling us we don’t know anything and we’re going to destroy generations to come.

No. We. Will. Not. We grew up in a generation of acceptance and love. We grew up in a time where there is no difference between black and white and gay and straight. We’re more opened and more accepting than those who tell us we aren't capable.

Society, stop shattering a dream we haven't even tried to achieve.

A dream is a dream. You can achieve it. Tell the world what you want to do. Be proud and say it with authority. Say it like you know you’re capable of doing it.

People will doubt you. But in the end, when you achieve your wildest dreams, they will applaud you. They will look up to you and they will be idiots that told you, you couldn’t. But you did.

Live out your dream. Do the impossible. Stay true to yourself and never put your head down. Dream big and dream bigger than you think you can achieve and then do it.

"Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind." -F. Scott Fitzgerald

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
