Success: Try Hard Enough and You'll Get There
What is the Real Meaning of Success

If you haven’t felt this feeling already,

I hope you do.

The feeling that you get when you suddenly realize that you

belong to a certain niche and that

You can’t do anything else but fulfill your calling in life, is absolutely

Thrilling, almost scary.

The thought of possibly not being able to do want you want to do is

Terrifying.

I am terrified of failing and not being good enough.

But if you truly want to succeed, you need to try.

Trying is the hardest part, but with a goal in mind, trying seems a little less

Stressful.

In fact, everything starts to feel like an adventure.

It is never too late to succeed or to do what you love.

There will be some fights while on your adventure.

An internal fight.

This fight involves an invisible voice with invisible hands that are constantly

Pulling you down.

But with the shield of faith, the belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness,

You will be more prepared for the war.

The key to success is trying.

Try to reach the next step without falling.

Try to love yourself during times when you feel at your worst.

Try to push yourself when your legs are too tried to move.

Try hard enough, and you will eventually reach the finish line, but for some people,

it’s the starting line that they are about to reach.

Those lines are the physical forms of success.

But you’ll know you have succeeded when you have a powerful feeling of awe.

That is the feeling of success.

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.
