Inspiration To Keep Moving Forward With Yourself

Never be afraid of who you truly are!

Inspiration To Keep Moving Forward With Yourself
Dream On Dreamer

Just a little inspiration for you to continue loving life and not worry about what others think, because at the end of the day, who do we go home with? Ourselves!

1. This life is what you make it.

Marilyn Monroe couldn't have said it any better! Life is definitely what you make it! I learned this through many tough trials during my life that both life and people in it threw at me. I have been back-stabbed, used, judged, and even mocked. Back then, I would cry myself to sleep at night over it and spend every waking hour trying to change myself to be someone that others would accept. But finally, one day, I realized it is just not worth it!  If they can't accept me for who I truly am, then I don't need them in my life! That and a really smart friend of mine told me, "You can count your true friends on one hand." She was right!

2. You and God are your only judges.

Nobody's opinion about the way you live your life and what you do matters except your own and God's. Who has to deal with both their good and bad decisions throughout life, along with the rewards and heartaches they bring? You!Who knows everything you do at all times, even when nobody else is around? God. So why do you have to answer to everyone else out there as to why you do things the way you do them? Why do you have to worry about what they think about you? You don't!

3. Trust yourself.

Trust in yourself! Trust that you can be your own judge (God being the main judge of course) and be successful. Because you can be! We all have the potential to create our own success and trust me, the sky is the limit!

5. Take chances!

Take a chance! You never know what opportunities can pop up in life or what wonderful people can come into your life and make it even better than what it already was or even help you grow! Whether it is a career opportunity, a friend, or a date - believe in yourself and take the chance! You never know what endless possibilities of amazing things you are capable of.

6. Be you!

Only you know what you truly want, believe and love. Do not be afraid to go out there and enjoy this beautiful gift we have been given: LIFE!

7. Always remember:

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
