When The Good Gets Going, Prevail

Be victorious in your own life...

When The Good Gets Going, Prevail

We all have hopes, dreams, ambitions and goals. Hopefully each and every one of us works hard to achieve whatever we want out of life, big or small. I work hard towards my goals because that satisfaction of completing one feels just as good as when we completed one on The Sims back in the day. A little "hurrah" voice goes off in your head letting you know that you did it, you did the thing. When you have something good in your life happen, you want more. It is an awesome feeling and we want to hold onto that feeling as long as possible.

Be victorious. Reach for the stars. When I have my goals in mind I try to do as much as I can when I'm able to complete them. It makes me feel good to have something good happen. And hello ladies and gents, ambition and goal orientation is extremely attractive. You should try it. Sometimes we feel as if we don't have our ish together, but when that good thing happens, it makes everything worthwhile.

Being happy is an emotion that we are all able to feel. It is one of the greatest emotions on Earth next to love. Being satisfied with something in life escalates our "feel good" chemicals in our body, and honestly I think they're contagious.

If you show other people your happiness I guarantee it'll rub off on them. I'm not sure how it works, but it does. Having a lot of great things happen in your life at once is like winning the lottery in life and wondering "is this real life" -quoted by the boy at the dentist.

So go on, make some good things happen in your life. Work on your goals and go above and beyond with them. It's your life and you choose how to make it. Don't let anybody affect you negatively and always try to keep a positive attitude and outlook. I promise you it works.

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.
