My New Motto At The Age Of 26

"Once you become fearless, life becomes limitless."

My New Motto At The Age Of 26
Self Love Beauty

"Once you become fearless, life becomes limitless."

Living fearless is my new motto at 26. I could always say I have done what I wanted without fear, but that would be one of the biggest lies. There are some things I definitely fear in life and other times there are things I have not feared.

As I turned 26 in April, I have continued to learn more about myself; What I want, who I want to surround myself with and what my true passions are.

However, one thing continues to stand out, some things in life make me very fearful.

I wish I could explain why because sometimes in life I get past the fear quickly and in other moments I let fear be the one in charge.

So what does "Live Fearless" really mean? It means:

1. Not letting the past run your life

2. Not letting rejection scare you

3. Going after the guy or girl you want

4. Going after the job you have wanted

5. Quitting friendships, relationships, or the careers that are not making you happy

6. Traveling where you have been dreaming of, even if it means going along

7. Trying new fitness exercises and centers even if you are scared you won't do well the first time

8. Trying something new that you have been telling yourself you would do someday

9. Loving yourself every day even when you don't feel 100%

It means stop living in fear of the unknown. It means trying new things and not being afraid. It means having confidence in yourself that you will be alright.

We all have our own stories, our own issues but at the end of the day living fearless will continue to help you grow, succeed and the list goes on.

I promise you it will be worth it, I face the decision daily to let fear hold me back or continue to follow my dreams.

So what is holding you back? What are you trying to do differently to live the life you want?

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
