Be Inspired To Be Yourself

Stop acknowledging the limitations on yourself my friend.

Stop acknowledging the limitations on yourself my friend.

You may accept, but NEVER acknowledge. Just as my friend Martin Luther King refused to acknowledge the limitations he lived with. He believed there would be a day where all children regardless of color can enjoy the fruits of the future. So he looked past the limitations and sparked a revolution that will always be a turning point in history. Yet he took the first step that all great rulers must take, accept the limitations. Realize that limitations are in your current situation. Although you have the power to elevate them higher than ever before. So I ask of you to free yourself from the constructs you have created. Only realize why you are a unique human being.

For the only enemy you face stares at you in the mirror when you wake up. It is the person in the mirror that will be with you every step of the way. Your #1 fan and your 1 enemy. So be kind to the person in the mirror, for he is the reason you are alive today. He thanks the younger version of yourself for working hard where it count. He is also counting on you to have the future version of yourself pleased as well. So look only at the distortion in your eyes, not in the eyes of judgmental.

Do not allow yourself to be distracted by comparison, it is our greatest enemy. We are the creators and thinkers who decide if the impossible is plausible. From comparison we create limitations. So if you wish to cut the ropes that hold you down, look into the true form of yourself. Reach to the heart, soul, and mind together; there you begin break free.

It is in the eyes of the beholder, that a reality is created. It is the man, 100 years ago, who dived into his imagination. He looked past his current limitations and circumstances, to bring you the technologies of today. Yet to reach new heights, the man conquered himself. It is the human that rules the land with his mind and sees himself as a peasant in the depths of the ocean who will truly free himself. Exposed to his limitations, he realizes that he will never be a big fish in a big pond. That is why a man cannot breathe under water, his skill is valued less than that of a goldfish! To realize that humans such as ourselves are so vulnerable to the constructs of nature. We will never overcome these limitations but will always believe we can. We admit that limitation is there, but we refuse to let it control us. We continue to evolve and progress for the sake of proving the norms we live in wrong.

Realizing this battle of the human mind, you understand why humans truly are the most thought provoking and inspiring. We choose look at the chains on our hands and feet and continue to break them. Even if new chains are put on our intellect, we wish to break them again. It is as if our reality wishes to control us, yet we do not comply. So I ask you all, as my friends, to not let your circumstance and reality control you. Accept but not acknowledge. It is at this moment, you will become your own ruler.

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.
