Success Has Many Definitions

The word success means something different for everyone.

Success Has Many Definitions
damaskwallpapers.blogspot.com

Before I graduated high school, I heard the phrase, "You have to go to college to be successful!" seemingly every day. I always thought that was funny, because I know college isn't meant for everyone. Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Richard Branson are all perfect examples.

So, where did society get the idea that everyone wanted to go to college? Small-minded people have a tendency to group everyone in the same category. I'm a dreamer though, and I believe everyone has their own unique mindset that contains thoughts that make them remarkable.

No matter what walk of life you are in, think about your goals and what you want to accomplish within the next year. Create your own definition of success. Think about the little and big things that could make you successful. It could be anything from graduating college, getting promoted in your workplace, or just striving to be a better person.

There is a liberating feeling that will come in your heart when you discover what you what you want to do to be successful. No matter what you make your goal, make sure you will be content with what you are doing. God made each person unique. He placed one specific, "God dream," there for you to go after. There will never be another you on this earth — so make sure you make your time here count!

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.
