In A Life Without Limitation The Only Thing Holding You Back Is You

The wall between the goal you are trying to achieve and the mental capacity of getting up and making it happen is the ONLY thing stopping you.

Isn’t it incredible that life is limitless? No, but really just think about that statement for a second.

Limitless.

That’s a broad word, some may say. And others may question that statement considering their inability to fly or read minds.

So okay sure, maybe to say life has no limits on us can seem very risky to some people, but I would argue that it is only because the meaning could somehow be considered vulnerable of unknown potential.

This brings me back to the point I made about reading minds and physically ‘flying’. I will say no, right now there is no way to dig into someone’s thoughts or to physically fly. But think about how far we’ve technologically advanced since the first decade of this universe. Someone did in fact create planes that ‘fly’ people from one place to another, and we did in fact have an individual who flew to the moon and then in the midst of space because of gravity.

So, half my point is who’s to say one day a very curious and determined individual will find a way to read a persons’ mind or make one capable of flying?

My bigger point to life being limitless is that it is all a matter of what you are willing to put in when you want to get something done.

I have heard this general idea in many ways, but ever since the first time I heard someone simply say, “if there’s a will, there’s a way” to depict the idea that anything you want to do in this life is possible as long as you persevere upon what’s necessary to get there, it’s stuck with me.

Look, the fact of the reality is that if you want something, I mean really want something--whether it may be wealth, fame, to be the strongest, to be the fastest, to get good grades, to obtain any type of material success, hell to even be the best at whatever it may be--the journey is not going to be a breeze. And believe me when I say you will not be the only one on this journey nor will everyone you encounter have your best intentions at heart.

People are going TO WANT to see you fail, people are going to tell you that YOU CAN’T DO SOMETHING, they are going to push you until you bend, test your mental strength, play unfair, discourage you, pray to see you fall, and at times they WILL WIN. But one thing that will always stand true is if the world is against you but you will not allow it to discourage you, you are secure with what you want and you are on the road of getting it, and being aware of how much time and effort it is going to take, you will succeed.

It is all mental.

The wall between the goal you are trying to achieve and the mental capacity of getting up and making it happen is the ONLY thing stopping you.

So screw the “I’m tired”, the “I’ll start tomorrow”, the “maybe next time”, the “I CAN’T”.

Enough. Because I can assure you when you’re sitting back thinking all this and feeling sorry for yourself, there is someone with less resources than you busting their butt to get to the point that you are not self-disciplined enough to get to.

To be a dreamer in this world of possibilities is a beautiful thing, but do not waste it with a weak mindset that is only content with the idea of doing great things.

One day you're going to look back on how far you've come, all the people who doubted you, and all the days you wanted to quit, but you didn't let it stop you; none of it matters anymore, you've made it.

I guess all that's really been stopping you was you. So enough already and make it happen.

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.
