New Year, Better Mindset

Have a different mindset this year.

What do many people say when a new year arrives? "New Year, New Me." This is an incorrect statement to many people who do not go through with their expectations and goals for the new year. Everyone wants to change for the better, but some people do have a full grown plan to change themselves or the positivity around them to help them reach that goal. People want to see you change, but many people say actions that they never act upon. It makes many people think what people are really serious when they say, "New Year, New Me." I would never say that saying because I will not change physically, but most likely have a better mindset to put up with the problems I may have to deal with in the long run. A new year should be new problems and mistakes, but better solutions to get through those obstacles in your way. I want everyone to know that a new year can be a restart button for everything you had done in the past year and changing for the better, not for the worst.

As the new year of being 2017, people must realize that to start off changing yourself in the right direction setting goals is necessary. When you are setting goals do not say you will do it, but make the actions to complete it. People love to say words, but when no action are put into thought, nothing is done. You will make a few mistakes, but actions are what will make a huge difference whether you do it correctly or not. Mistakes are good as long as you learn from them after committing them. The new year is just a saying for people to "change," but not many people change because they'd rather state change than do it. Meeting expectations is great and most people must always begin from small steps. Small steps need to be taken before taking large steps and goals must be obtained before ever trying to jump to conclusions. People must realize that a better mindset for the future is far more important than a mindset that no one ever imagined they could have. Think before you act upon something.

Alright guys, to wrap things up, the message I am trying to send is a new year can change you efficiently. It is up to you to change yourself and not that "New Year" mentality that comes across. I want others to know that life comes with boundaries and leaps you must take before falling. I love that everyone has ideas, but no action leads to failure of ever making that idea bloom. A person must fall before they can get back up and find out why they fell before progressing. A new year may or may not benefit, but it's up to you.

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.
