Why Your Positive Thoughts Are Crucial
Huffington Post

Do you ever wonder why people succeed in life? Successful people fully rely on their own thoughts to dictate their future. Regardless if it is due to sports, entertainment, politics, or whatever, successful people of the world know that their success is contributed to their thought process.

This all starts with you PMA. Yes, PMA stands for your 'positive mental attitude'. We all can agree, no one likes a negative Nancy... no one! They are the type of people who are able to see the negative in just about everything. We all know one. Yet I doubt that we all want to hangout with one.

The fact of the matter is that we determine our future depending on our thoughts. I, myself, will become a millionaire. I am determined in life to go farther than the average person. I refuse to believe that any person who is deemed average by society is satisfied. Yet I do believe that they are allowing complacency into their lives. When I say complacent, I mean to say that in that individual's life, he or she has acceptable average. I'm sorry but it is true.

That is why having positive, self-appreciating thoughts is such a crucial part in determine your future. You might wonder why people who complain never get anywhere. WELL HERE IS YOUR WHY! They are sad that they are too lazy to do anything to change their live because they are too COMPLACENT!

Some of you will agree with me, but some might not understand this concept. That's okay. I'm talking trying to discuss what is say to you. I'm not talking about your friends ragging on you for something stupid that you did. I am talking about if you were to take what you friends said personally and transcribe it to your inner thoughts.

What you say to yourself is so crucial to your everyday life. I mean if if wasn't, then we would have read, "The Little Engine Who Gave Up." Instead, most of us read "The Little Engine That Could!" And you know, a lot of us found that story to be compelling.

As a psychology major, I solely believe that your cognitive thoughts will make or break you. So what if you didn't make your goal today, but are you going to achieve your goal tomorrow?

If you say no, then you simply have quit on yourself. If you said yes, then continue to do something about your situation. Always learn and apply your lesson in order to better yourself. That way you will one day achieve you goal.

So your thoughts are crucial in determining your future, but are you currently thinking negative thoughts, or positive ones? My advice to you is that you know what your strengths are and what you need to work on. That way you always know what areas you need to improve on.

Whether you like it or not, you will always know why you failed. Don't let your negative, self-depreciation thoughts keep you from succeeding. After all, you deserve the best!

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
