Change The Way You Think And Change Your Reality

Things can change and shape who you are, but sometimes it is up to you that can keep those things from changing you permanently.

Change The Way You Think And Change Your Reality
Wikia

What do people think about when they are about to go to sleep or enter something different? When people go to sleep, they sometimes dream, but also think about the goals they have set out and when it can become reality. Reality is the present and what you can see with your own eyes instead of envisioning it every day. Reality is what people can feel instead of just see in their own mind. I wonder every day, "When will my dreams or goals come to a reality and not just a dream?" Everyone should think ahead of their past and present, because sometimes things can change in an instant, making adapting to the situation the hardest. I would like to help others become someone they want to be rather than what their parents want them to be. Anyone should have goals or somethings they want to do with their lives in a positive way, but time is what sometimes stop them from completing that goal or proposition they have in mind. My mind tells me that I have so much potential, but patience can ruin that potential.

Do not let other people tell you that you cannot do something, but rather change you for the better, not for the worst. If you do not have a goal or dream set in mind, start now and work your way from there to have something that you can look back upon when you accomplish it. People need to realize that goals and dreams can always be accomplished, but failure will come into play. It is similar to beating everyone in a video game and then you come across a new player and lose to him. Life is not about those failures that entered, but about the failures that are resolved into successes. Accomplishments can make you feel happy about yourself and the ones around you who contributed to that success. I would think to myself "When will I ever accomplish this goal and will it be tomorrow, next year, or the next decade?" When people do not have patience, things are rushed and others will not realize what trap they are getting themselves into. Reality can set in at any moment, but it is up to you to change that mindset.

Things can change and shape who you are, but sometimes it is up to you that can keep those things from changing you permanently. This whole perspective of reality is tough, but it can change what a person really sees through life. I look at all the dreams and goals, I accomplished and I am safe to say that it distinguishes me from all my setbacks. Everyone is destined for failure and setbacks, but that is what life is all about, until you throw those failures away and make it into accomplishments.

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.
