The Life We Take for Granted

Sometimes When We Are Healthy and Don't Have Any Medical Problems We Become More Lazy and Give Up On Our Dreams

The Life We Take for Granted
wanderlustcirlcle.com

Every single one of us has had dreams since we were little, and we've always wanted to accomplish them. Sometimes we get lost in how busy life is and our dreams get forgotten. Or we feel like they are unattainable. We have to stop thinking this way; anything is possible and your dreams have no expiration date. This life was given to you for a reason, now go find that reason and never give up. Find the will power inside of you to start again.


we take so much for granted

when you are born healthy

no problems

you can walk, talk, breathe, run, laugh, cry

when you get a cold and your chest hurts from coughing so much you try to remember what it felt like when you weren't sick

taking your health for granted

that's the problem

I believe those who have had a wake up call or those who have problems that cannot allow them to function normally see the world differently

they attack life with a different heart

a heart that never gives up

With passion, determination, & drive

they want to be the best, so they train to be

you and me, have dreams too

but sometimes we become lazy and take a day off

we cannot live like this any longer

out of all the eggs & sperm cells you got picked

you got picked to live in this world

to make a difference

to walk up mountains, to swim in the ocean, to fall in love, to travel

the world is so big and vast

yet you are so small

one out of billions of people

they were chosen too

don't ever feel inadequate

chase your dreams just as hard as those with limited time do

they should inspire you

because if you believe hard enough, they will come true

we all experience heartbreaks of all kinds

sometimes we feel we are not good enough or worthy enough

even if it's all you wanted, you feel it won't happen to you

but it can

you have to pick yourself up and brush the dirt off you

remember your dream, remember your love for it, remember the drive you have

your dream is alive, your dream is in you

the greatest most successful athletes and CEO's have been told they aren't good enough

if they listened to the doubters, their dream wouldn't of happened

don't let that happen to you

your story doesn't end by someone's words

you can give it everything and still not make it, it may rip you apart for awhile

but you have to get back up and keep trying

if it is something you've wanted, something inside of you that can't stop thinking about it, it is what you are meant to do. what you are called to be in this world

obstacles are thrown at you only to better you

maybe you weren't tough enough. but after you are

everyone can be against you, but you are the only one you need to believe in yourself

right then, is the break through you've been waiting for

you can't give up on yourself

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.

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.
