You're really just saying anything.....

Your Words Are What Controls Your Destiny
Marginalia

Did you know that your mouth was given to you for more than just eating and drinking?

But for charting your course in life….hmmmmmm lets see;

Currently as college students, we face many challenges with coming into adulthood. The main one is “What are you going to do, when you come out of college?"

See the problem is that most people are not sure of what career they want to go into, or what they want to do period.

This decision requires time, effort, planning and the most important thing, words.

Words have power and they control your destiny.

Have you ever spent time just talking about what goals you want to accomplish?

Or where you see yourself within in the next six months?

Or how about your plan for college?

All of these questions determine how your future will look.

If you don’t speak on it, it will never happen.

I’ll give you an example:

I’ll be a sophomore in the fall and my goal was to have an internship for this current summer. Now, I know internships are primarily given to those who was are juniors in college because at that point you should know more about your career. However, that makes no sense to wait until junior year to look/get an internship because if you don’t like that career, it will be even more of a challenge of diving into something else. So, I decided to continuously say “I’m going to get an internship irrespective of the circumstances (the fact that I was a freshman at the time). Now along with saying this I applied for some and made calls as well. It was around the beginning of June and I still hadn’t had an internship secured however I kept declaring with my mouth that I will get one, and lo and behold, I finally did. Now I’m telling you this because if I hadn’t of spoken about what I wanted to achieve, it would have never happened. So, I encourage you all to use your mouth to chart your course for life. Your words control your destiny. Speak to your current circumstances or issues with positive words, knowing that you’ll be victorious irrespective of the situation at hand.

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.
