During your life, you will face many obstacles that will get in the way of you achieving your goal. Everyone in life goes through this and there’s no shame about it. It could be that you didn't pass your test or you didn't get that job you need, and you may end up feeling helpless. You may doubt your capabilities. Teachers sometimes don’t help you, they put you down, and you feel overwhelmed and incapable of reaching something you really wanted to do for so long.

Don’t worry, you just need to take a deep breath and start over, study hard, work hard and remember you will achieve in a matter of time.

Many times, people around you don’t give you the strength you need to overcome your issues and to get through difficulties. Instead of telling you that you will MAKE it or that you can DO it, they let you down, and that’s how people lose motivation. But this is not the way that a person will succeed or will achieve their dreams.

One thing I can’t stop thanking my parents for is an important sentence they have always repeated to me and they continue to repeat:

"Never stop dreaming, never give up, Never. Only like this you can reach important things in life."

If you have difficulties in passing an exam or in your future career, it doesn’t mean you will never be able to do it.

It might be tough, but nothing is impossible, it means you have to roll your sleeves up, and work harder, if other people have the same goal then ask yourself: “Are you inferior than them?” “No. You can. If there is a will there is a way.”

It can be difficult, and very stressful, but never listen to anyone telling you what you are and are not capable of. Be consistent in studying and work hard, everyone needs their time, you will arrive later, the important thing is the route you went through. Even if you failed or you had challenges, these are important steps along the way that made you learn a lot. In overcoming them, you will be happy, proud and satisfied of what you accomplished. There is nothing more satisfying than this!

Each of us has a path in life, and if you’re lucky enough to know what yours is, then follow it. It will be worth it even if obstacles encumber your plans.

People didn’t say it was easy, they just said it was worth it!!

And most importantly- never follow other people. Try to think with your own mind. Even if you make mistakes, at least it’s your mistake and you will grow with that and you will become a better person.

So, follow your dream even with many fears and go for it, alone. There isn’t a better feeling than saying 'I’m doing what I want, I made it, I reached my goal,' without saying thank you to anyone except yourself, your parents, and the people who always counted on you.

And remember that great things take time and ….

If a dream has so many obstacles, it means that it is the right one. -Bob Marley

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.
