Work Hard For What You Want

In This Article:

More often than not, people will look at celebrities or influencers and want the same things they have. They wonder, "why was I not lucky enough to be born into money?" But what we forget is that yes, some are born rich, the others had to work for their wealth. Just like us.

I think it's a huge problem in our generation that we just expect outcomes. Or need instant gratification. But that is not realistic. In order to achieve your goals, you have to give some sweat and determination. Start small and plan out how to achieve your goals, and work on it step by step. And never lose focus. Things do not just magically happen. You make it happen.

Also, results do not appear overnight. Just like when you're on a diet or start working out, things take time. You cannot expect a promotion in a month at work. You just have to keep your head down, keep working, and then eventually you will see the results of your hard work.

The real world is not like a video game, it takes time and effort to gain wealth and move up in your field. If you want something, only you can work hard to gain it. Sitting and wishing something would happen will not make it happen. That will just make you want it more. Get up and work for it.

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.
