The Blueprint For 2017

Every year comes with new expectations and goals. Maybe this will be the year I start eating better. Maybe I'll find someone who makes me feel like I'm on top of the world. Maybe I'll get the opportunity to do something I've always wanted to try. The start to every year is very important, if it starts off bad your mindset for the rest of the year is going to be negative until something good comes along. This year make things happen. Think positive this year. Good things come to those who send out good vibes. Instead of focusing on the things you don't have try focusing on the things you do have. Make 2017 a year of good.

Get out in the world, smile at the children, say hi to that cute boy, buy those shoes, plan a road trip with your friends. Go do something. Be brave. We have one less year than we did before. Time doesn't stop so why should you? Make your resolution and go through with it. Everyone makes fun of 'new years resolutions' but they're motivation to make the changes you've been wanting in your life. Go to the gym and get the body you've been wanting, get on that diet and don't back out, keep a clean house, don't let people walk all over you. You are the only obstacle in your life. Get motivated! Think about how good it'll feel when you achieve your goals.

Finding a person to join you on your journey to achieving your goals is a great way to start! Motivate each other to get your results then when you do reach your goals the celebration is way better to share with someone.

Make a plan and stick to it until the very end. Things get tough and some mountains are more difficult to climb than others but the view is spectacular.

Surround yourself with good people and good attitudes. The vibes we send out to the universe have a way of deciding our fate.

Most importantly: DON'T cheat! One hiccup isn't the end of the world but if you allow one hiccup that'll lead to another one and eventually you'll get lazy, seeing some results and choosing to quit or decide to not work as hard, don't do this. Stick to your guns.

You've got this in the bag! Just keep at it and the results will come. Settling isn't good enough, so fight for what you want and make it to the very end of the finish line. New Year's resolutions are good for us because they make us motivated to make things happen. So let's make things happen. 2017 will be a year of good but only if you work for it.

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.
