No Regrets

Do not be afraid of what could happen, instead be afraid of what wont.

No Regrets
http://creativeartsnetwork.co.uk/collective/project/portrait-regret

We all have moments that we let pass by us, opportunities we don’t take, or conversations we don’t have. We all have regrets and that’s okay. In a perfect world we would all be bold enough and the timing would always be right. But sometimes you can’t always go after what you want because it could hurt someone else or obstacles are preventing you from trying. And yet I implore you not to give up. Chase the dream people told you that you could never catch, then once its caught find a new one. Yes, it might not be the right timing or something is preventing you, but don’t just forget it. Our dreams and passion fuel us and make up our very soul. Don’t lose yourself for the sake of timing. When it comes to avoiding conflict, that okay but, if you don’t stand up for yourself then who will? We as a species have to learn to be more ambitious or we will lose our drive to do great things.

Take that extra step towards your goal, even if you don’t succeed, you know that you tried. Live the life you want to live not the one that is thrust upon you. Fight for what you want and be extraordinary. We all search for adventure and miracles so make your own. Do not be afraid of what could happen, instead be afraid of what wont. No one should look back at their life unsatisfied, you should be proud of the life you have led. People should live their life unafraid of petty things like the thoughts of other people, embrace yourself, all the good and bad, and live happily. If one chooses not to do something because of fear, try to think about how much more fearful it is not knowing. You would always question “what if”. That question is the single most terrifying thing to ask oneself, because it mean you are doubtful of your actions and one should never doubt themselves. Believe in yourself and in your dreams, because you can accomplish anything. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from achieving happiness. Strive to find yourself, take care of yourself, and be the best version of yourself. If you can truly understand who you are and what you want you will be able to live freely, doing what you want as long as you try. Dreams don’t happen without hard work; you can’t be halfhearted in chasing after what you want. Put all of your passion into your dream and then go for it. Shoot for the stars and inspire others with your goals.

One thing that I have always thought is that I want to look back on my life and have no regrets. So I will continue to do the things that frighten me because I might just end up loving them. The exhilaration and pride I feel after conquering an obstacle is nothing short of sunshine coursing through my veins. I hope that you, my dear reader, will reach your dreams.

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.
