Dreams, Good Things, and Happiness
Preservation Of Moments

In life, we always want to be in a place other than the one we're in. What we don't realize is that we need to be in this place in order to get to the next place. Sometimes, it can seem like a repetitive chain of events, but as long as you are doing what you truly want to do, it doesn't matter where you do it.

You're making an effort to do something you truly want to do, and that is never easy. There's so much effort that one has to put into something that they truly want to do. When you are passionate, anywhere can be your workspace.

Your work doesn't go unnoticed. Your efforts don't go unnoticed. You took a complete chance and started from an idea and it became a reality. It's a crazy process to witness because when you start hitting milestones, you realize how much you're accomplishing and it's an amazing feeling.

Everything you go through along the way is necessary to make you stronger as you go.

We get conflicted because of expectations. We think that everything is just going to blow up overnight, but it takes time. We tend to get ahead of ourselves because we have such high hopes for what we want to do and we want to see things go well.

You have to remember that you can't give up. You have to keep moving forward. There are people out there who look forward to everything you do, and whenever you want to give up, think of those people. They will always be there to support you, no matter what you do.

There will be so many moments in between where you wonder if it's worth it and then you have moments when you realize why you made this thought a reality and you take a second to be proud of yourself.

It's all too often that we accomplish so much and we don't take a second to stand back and realize how much we accomplish.
The same way that you need to work, you need to rest. Balance is the key to happiness.

So, know this. You're in a certain place right now, but it doesn't mean that it will always be this way.

It's what's right for right now, and you have to take advantage of this time by doing what you want to do.

Don't fight what's helping you to stay motivated. Thanks to this, you're doing what you once dreamt of. Now, you get to watch this former dream as a current reality.

If you want to do something. Do it. Don't say you'll make time, because it's a guaranteed way to fail. The time to start is now.
In life, you have the chance to be whatever you want to be. Don't put it all on hold. Do what you truly want to do.

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.
