These aren't the usual New Years Resolutions.

New Year Motivation

2017 is just a few short weeks away. Where in the world did 2016 go? Why are we getting so old? Why does time seem to be going faster and faster as the years go by? I'm not normally a fan of New Years Resolutions, because they always die off by mid-January. That's why I'm not making any resolutions, however, I do believe that the New Year brings new opportunities. There's nothing wrong with making 2017 better than 2016. Is that cliche? Probably. Here's some inspirational quotes to get you ready to make 2017 your bitch.

Who doesn't love being fierce?

You have the power to choose your priorities, whether it be becoming successful, your family, your own personal happiness.. whatever it may be. Don't let society pressure you!

There's a reason why those asshole people aren't in your life anymore. Don't let the New Year change your opinion! Don't say: "It's a New Year, things can change." NO. They really can't. People don't change. They're still the same assholes they were last year. You're MUCH better off.

Yep, I'm one of those people who despises Monday's. You need to find something you're passionate about, no matter what it is. Teaching, art, music, business, whatever floats your boat. If you wake up on Monday, excited about going to work or going to school, you're doing something right.

Seriously though. Don't put up with any crap. You ain't got time for that! You do you, you focus on you, and don't worry about other people and their drama.

Last but not least, this is one of my favorites. It really is never too late to get your shit together! 2017 will be your year! Keep working your ass off, I promise it will pay off in the long run. You can do anything you put your mind to!

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.
