When I Follow my Passions, my Purpose is Revealed

When I Follow my Passions, my Purpose is Revealed

This past weekend I worked for a social media tour called pressplay, something that I’ve done multiple times before. If you want to learn more about it, you can watch this video.

Working on multiple social media tours has helped to mold my perspective on life and society over the past few years. My work through the internet has introduced me to a hidden culture of millennials that are driven to create a life that they love. They have no desire to waste their talents and know they want more than what a desk 9 to 5 job has to offer them. I've been fortunate enough to work for multiple apps and tours that has introduced me to some of my greatest friends from all across the world.

Content creators on the internet share their talents and passions through various social media platforms such as youtube and vine. For example, Shawn Mendes, an award winning singer/musician most known for his hit song “Stitches” started his fame creating 6 second covers on vine, a social media app. He gained a fan base and is now selling out venues across the world. For him and thousands of others the internet has opened doors that otherwise wouldn’t have been accessible for him.

Forming strong friendships with content creators have taught me an important lesson: when you follow your passions your purpose in life will be reveled and you’ll no longer find yourself saying “I wish I knew what I was doing with my life.”

Life is meant to be lived, not endured. You need to find the courage to do what makes you happy no matter what anyone else has to say about it. Criticism and judgment are all apart of the process but people will always find something to say regardless. Whether your passion is big or small never give up on your day dream, you never know where life will take you. Live what you love.

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.
