It Can Hurt Like Hell But You Got To Keep Pushing

People say that strength is better in numbers. They probably weren't thinking about the Number of times they've been kicked while fighting. Or The number of times they have been lost in the crowds while trying to scream for life. Or the number of times they have been told that they should give up from others or from themselves. The number of times that I have experienced moments like this is astonishing to say the least.

But I have learned how to persevere and how to keep on going even if there is the slightest bit of doubt. And it's scary. It's terrifying to have to keep going when you think there might be a chance that you'll fail but wouldn't it be worse if you quit and lost the chance to succeed? When life gets in the way, you have to remind yourself of why you're here in the first place. What are you supposed to do for yourself to succeed? What is it that makes your dreams and goals feel like they're too good to pass up?

Because no matter what people say or what occurs on your journey, nothing will feel more powerful than the feeling you get when you achieve your goals. All that you have worked for will be for that moment. That moment when you can look yourself in the eyes and tell yourself, "I made it". So do not stop fighting and do not stop trying because you might be closer than you think to achieving victory.

It may hurt like hell but you have to keep pushing.

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.
