Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Deez Nuts.

The Future Of Politics

Maybe you're not a fan of Donald Trump. You may not be in favor of how he handles the press, and/or simply the fact that his track record seems foggy at times.

Maybe you're not a fan of former candidate Dr. Ben Carson. You may not be in favor of his inexperience and/or his passive approach to politics.

I'm not at all in favor of persuading you to love Trump nor Carson. I'm not at all in favor of dissuading you of your possible preference of either one of these men.

Simply, I'd like to get across the broader purpose and the real effect of both Mr. Trump and Dr. Carson.

That is, the fact that both of these men have effectively derailed the common mantra of politics and have brought not only a fresh voice, but a fresh background to the industry.

In response to Trump's decision to run for the president of the United States, fellow billionaire and ABC Shark Tank investor, Mark Cuban, said Trump is "the best thing to happen to politics."

With knowledge and a bit of research, it's clear that Cuban isn't necessarily referring to Trump's policies as "the best thing to happen to politics." It's his presence and voice that is raising the tone of guys like Cuban. Which, in effect, follows with record setting rally totals and voters that have been hibernating for decades.

Trump's supporters, the silent majority, are those that like the fact that he was hanging in the private sector less than a year ago. Certainly, this could be one of the few reasons why Carson and Trump have hit it off so well.

Just look at Kanye West. Maybe he was juiced up with alcohol, or some other drug, or maybe not. Even so, regardless of the possible influence, the Trump candidacy have made guys like West feel a greater sense of entitlement to run for presidency.

With social media now at the forefront of society, all Americans have greater opportunities for voice recognition. As the wealthiest of Americans, like Trump and Cuban, see the debt compounded day-after-day and year-after-year, it becomes more of an obligation to run, rather than an option.

It's the politicians that Americans are worried about. Their inability to get things done instigate the American public to grant private sector citizens a crack.

To make clear: People in all industries, by following simple constitutional rules, can take a run for the White House.

Former President Ronald Reagan brought his acting talents to Washington, DC. Heck, even Independent candidate "Deez Nuts" hit the polls for a couple of weeks. If Mr. Nuts can do it, you can, too.

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.
