Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality. -Les Brown

How many times have we allowed ourselves to be swayed by other people's perceptions of ourselves or others? Life is about figuring out who we are and what role we play in a life we are living. If you allow a person's opinion become your reality, then how will you know who you are for yourself?


Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Let's elevate our thinking and the way we talk about ideas, events, and people. Sure, it is easy about the Kardashians or criticise our current administration. But how many of us are elevating ourselves by talking about IDEAS? Ideas bring forth progress, inventions, and different opinions and perspectives.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. -Vivian Greene

It's easy to get bogged down by the sad and depressing things in our lives. Though, how often do we look at the bigger picture? When you learn to look at the bright side and try to figure out alternate solutions, no hurdle seems too great.

Just Remember: The people that say, 'your dreams are impossible' have already quit on theirs. -Grant Cardone

Always follow your heart. If it is feasible for you to make your dreams a reality, then go for it. The naysayers will always have something negative to say.

Well-behaved women rarely make history. -Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

This is one of my favorites because women around the world really need to step out the conventional roles society has placed on us and speak up. If making a bit of noise gets things done, then so be it.

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.
