Pessimism? NO

WARNING - This is a common pessimistic phrase—> “Be real and stop dreaming." May you NEVER, EVER, EVER, adapt to this phrase because it is just an excuse for not achieving your goals.

The majority of times, as the dreamers that we are, we listen to people when they speak about their aspirations. Pessimism seems to be intrinsic to their minds… and you can only ask yourself: why?

When overhearing pessimistic thoughts, ideas, goals and mindset, one can only think about how people can acquire such types of perspectives. To understand this, it is important to reason that many beliefs are based off of myths and they are passed on through the years! These beliefs begin to negatively impact people from the moment they are born. They start receiving all of this new knowledge from the world, their parents, and the environment, that they begin to grow accordingly to what they experience. In some harsh cases, there are few people who can withstand their surroundings and grow to their full potential.



Having thought about all of these situations, we may comprehend that it is those beliefs that outline and shape our mindsets to what they may become later on in life.

Pessimists usually see the goals that are outside of their comfort zones or out of their reach such as 'too expensive, too far, too much to handle, etc,' and they simply stick to these ideas and don't pursue their goals. They simply leave their lives as they are and stay stuck in the same place where they started.

To change this, for pessimists - it is important that you realize how important and bright your dream is! Once you realize how usefulness it is to the world, you become motivated to pursue it. One of the essential keys to paving success is to have discipline.

Your discipline paves the journey of achievements and prosperity. It is you who can change the world with your projects and new viewpoints. Make sure you utilize your time going after all of your aspirations because at the end... it is those aspirations that brought and shaped your life to be what you intend it to be.

Dreamers (like you and me)... have hope and believe in the positive changes and arrangements of modern society. And as considered, we may influence and inspire with actions, words, and behavior.


So, for the next time you hear or read pessimistic thoughts, just remember that with your actions and behavior, that person is being inspired. You can contribute so much to the world by simply pursuing your goals with discipline and disposition.

All of the negative people that think they cannot accomplish their dreams because those dreams are just too high or far away will drift from their antagonistic and denying attitude to achieve something greater... something that they will be proud of.

Help the world by believing in your dreams... because no dream is too high, no mountain is too steep, and no goal is invalidated without your consent.

Speak words of wisdom and of encouragement and you will change the world for that pessimist, who didn't believe in his/her dream.

The advances of society improve life as we know it. A constantly evolving world in which we reside awaits for more innovators and believers to continue improving the ways of living. As a civilization, we ought to find what vastness exists beyond our minds and our mundane boundaries! For this, the commitment to believe in the dreams that our hearts generate is profound and if we do so, we will have already completed the best challenge of all - believing in yourself.

Watch Elon Musk talk about the path he paved towards the succesful person he is right now. :)

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.
