How To Find Your Next "Right Move"

When you don't like where you are in life, just make your move

How To Find Your Next "Right Move"

The next "right move" is something we are constantly thinking about, and trying to obtain.

In all of our life stages, we are searching for the next step to lead us to our next great relationship, or the next great job that we can find in life.

No matter what we are going through, or the situation, each of us have that point in our lives that we don't know what to do next.

Here's my advice: get up and take action, because nobody is going to get up and live your life for you! Most people nowadays feel entitled and sit around whining about how they need a new job, or how they're not happy in their relationship. Somehow, they think complaining will make everything better.

I promise you, just sitting around talking about your next idea or what you "know you need to do" will never get you to the point you need to in life. Self pity is a dead end road. Life doesn't follow a set of rules or have any kind of pity for you. You have to work hard to set your path.

So make that challenging choice, the one that scares you the most. Choose the one that will shake up your life and make you do roller coaster spins when you stay awake at night thinking about it. Challenging our conscious mind to accept reality, embrace change and the unpredictability of life, is one step in finding the next "right move" in your life.

The hardest part for most people in making this move is figuring out what they love and truly want in life. Listen more to what you want, and less of what the world wants from you. Before anybody can believe in you making the right move, you have to believe in yourself and know who you are: you are the only version of you in this entire world and that is your power.

Making an important decision or choice in your life can be overwhelming, so sometimes we choose to do nothing--and we become paralyzed rather than being liberated by having the power of choice. So instead of making the hard choice, it's easier for us to just drift along, hoping that life takes us down the right path.

If you aren't happy with how your life is going, don't stay stuck: do better.

Having a life vision, and knowing what path you want your life to go down is key in building the foundations to building belief in yourself.

There will be times where you won't know what to do next, or might you make the wrong decision, and that's okay. You can seize these wrong decision as an opportunity to experience life and you are empowered to make another choice--hopefully the next "right move".

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.
