The Low Down On Living Your Dreams

Can your dreams be your reality?

The Low Down On Living Your Dreams
Dustin Scarpitti

I can bet you there are three types of people reading this article. Those who believe they can't make their dreams a reality, and it is hopeless try. Then those who think they're just that, dreams. Then there is the perspective that I now see things from, that is that our dreams can become our reality in life. We all believe in something, whether it's in a religion, a person, our feelings, we all believe. In each one of our hearts, we have a dream of something that we hope one day will become part of our real life. So why is that so many times we lose sight of our dreams and the ideas and light we had is lost and never brought out? If that's you I'm writing this to challenge you to ask yourself why can't I live my dream; because I believe you can!

Think about these obstacles as the things we see when we take our eyes off our dreams. It's those things that make you ask questions such as: How is that possible? Why me? How could that ever happen? Is that for me? When would that even be a possibility? They are distractions; so instead of losing focus look to your goal, what do you want to accomplish? Do you wanna be a professional sports player? A lawyer? Or maybe be the CEO of a big corporation? How about a nature photographer for a big magazine? Then what can you do right now to make it happen? Get a college degree, or maybe apply for the job. You have to make your dreams a possibility, and once your mind believes the reality of your minds idea it because an easily conquerable task.

Little steps in a bigger direction. Take it piece by piece in discovering how to accomplish your hearts desire. As Kobi Yamada once said, "Can't's into cans and dreams into plans" and if we can do that we can do anything. It all starts by finding the determination in your heart and telling yourself you're gonna do it because you want it.

The reality is that dreaming is believing! If you want to see your hearts desires to become part of your every day then go out and make it happen. Don't just sit there on your phone or computer. Go find that first foothold on the journey, and take the first step to finding your dream's reality. You matter. You have importance. You have control of where your life goes; it doesn't matter what others say or do. You are created to change the world. The ideas in your head and the ideas in my head, or your friends head are all different. Our dream could be huge. One day if you imagine it, cancer could be cured because someone pursued the goal to cure it, hover boards could truly hover, and maybe that dream will even put someone in the white house or on mars.

So go live a life of dreams no matter one-dimensional living. Make the most of it and discover who you are meant to be, an achiever, a believer, a dreamer!

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.
