Who Are You? | The Odyssey Online

Who are you? What do you stand for? I'm writing this article for the dreamers, for the ones who want to be something in life, you can do it! As a dreamer myself I think to myself doubt, and I want some type of motivation to drive me, but I have to realize that I am the motivation. It's up to me to do the things I want to do in life. I have to get up and do the things I want to do, and not rely on someone to make or influence me to do so. In life doors will open, but it is entirely up to you if you want to go through them.

I was in class the other day and this guy by the name of Brian McIntosh aka B-mac came into the room to talk to the class about how he's been in the outside world. Now previously I had heard from b-mac from a former teacher of mine. I heard this guy had received a job at ESPN, I couldn't believe it, but once I heard b-mac's backstory it all made sense. He was a normal guy like me, but what separates him from the rest of the pack, is his determination and his drive. Anybody can be successful, but you must be ready to grind and do what you need to do. This guy changed majors his senior year, worked part time and to top it off took extra classes at UNC. B-mac had an unwilling drive to go after what he wanted, nothing could stand in his way.

You have to breathe success in order to be successful, I learned that a long time ago. Only you know how much you want something, if you want something really bad, go for it. Never have barriers or boundaries as to what you can do and what you are capable of. You can do anything you put your mind too. Be the best you can be...

Who Are You? You are amazing! You are ready! Be great!

Holding on to your dream and staying focused is very important....I know I said it once but I will say it again....

Want success as badly as you want to breathe....and not even failure will make you want to quit.

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.
