What Inspires You

My Inspiration... Whats Yours?
http://www.amusingtruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/inspirational-desktop-wallpapers-34.jpg

Have you ever taken a moment to just sit in a room away from the chaos of life and close your eyes? In that moment take a deep breath in and think to yourself what makes you, you. It’s a question that goes misunderstood often times. Think to yourself what intrigues you, and what inspires you? It’s a common thing for most people to immediately say right off the bat what really inspires them but to the core is it true? We all have a funny way of going through the rhythm of day-to-day life but are we really living an inspiring one? Do we even know what really makes us interested to take on the day, to grow within our careers, to take that leap of faith to take on a new adventure? It’s a simple question to ask but it’s an even more difficult one to answer.

For me if asked what inspires me I would fashion, Jackie O, independent women, and I would say Ideally this is a correct answer but its an idealistic and materialistic view point. It’s not deep-rooted feelings or specific memoires. The more I sit and ponder the question I realize that I really don’t know what truly inspires me. This is a defeating statement to relay. I challenge myself to focus on what inspires me to be interesting and successful, what shapes me to live my life with passion and purpose? Its not past people or the idea of fashion that makes me lives a meaningful life. It’s the purpose and passion behind what I stand for as a person that leads me to feel success.

So now I challenge you to do these three things. Separate yourself from the chaos of your everyday rituals you call life and find what inspires you to bring purpose and value to your life. Write them down and read them every morning when you get up, when you go to bed and even dream about those three things. Allowing yourself to find what inspires you to be the person with passion is key to living a life of value and success. Just do it and the rewards will be plenty.

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.
