How To Successfully Become Who You Want To Be

Who are you? Who do you want to be? The questions everyone asks themselves in order to become a functioning person in this world. The first step is canceling out all the people in your life that enable you to blossom. By distancing your mind from negativity you can have room to grow yourself. Even so, you can keep these people in your life if you can grow from them by being stronger than the negative suppressions that come along with it. Most people do not know who they are, and this can hold you back from finding out yourself as well. Here are some quick tips that helped me find more about my place in this world:

1. Find your hobbies, talents, passions in this world to make you feel like you have a purpose

Whether it's golfing, playing cards or simply being outside, everyone has something that makes them feel interested and insightful. These activities should stay close to you.

2. Surround yourself with good people

A positive environment is so important. Keep a close group of people that make you feel truly happy. Have things in common, or different characteristics that will balance each other out and even improve yourself and your weaknesses.

3. Be motivated and sure of yourself

Stop doubting yourself and go for your goals and dreams. The whole concept of becoming the person you want to be only can come if you have the motivation and confidence to make and create your life and self accurately.

4. Don’t hesitate, always keep going

I've learned that if you stop, pause, or hesitate in your uphill self-creation it can mess up the entire cycle. Going backward, or hitting lows in life are all real things if you allow it. Don’t allow these obstacles to come in your life, keep fighting and give life a run for its money. Keep pushing the uphill battle until your feel secure.

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.
