7 Ways To Get On With Life

There is a huge difference between giving up and just simply knowing when it is time to move on. Sometimes stepping back is actually a step forward when it’s time to walk away and prove you have had enough. You will find yourself living a much simpler and happier lifestyle if you learn to avoid all unnecessary stress like it’s the plague.

1. Surround yourself with positive vibes only.

Disregard all negative energy. It is not worth it. Simply change your mindset and move along.

2. Cheaters never prosper.

You will get caught and karma will come for you eventually. Spare yourself and everyone else the trouble and just be a genuine person. People will enjoy your company a heck of a lot more. I promise.

3. Care less about the people who talk behind your back

They are behind you for a reason. Take a hint. Make sure you around people you want to be like. You are who you hang out with.

4. Don't spread rumors.

It only causes more drama and drama leads to negative energy. If there is not a point to the conversation it is unnecessary. Do not tolerate useless gossip. People hate people like you.

5. Don't be afraid of confrontation.

Face to face conversations make life so much simpler. It lets people know how you’re truly feeling. You can usually see it in their face. Do they care or do they not? Does there face light up when you talk? You can only read what a person says through the phone but you can’t read a person without confrontation. It is easy to be someone else through the phone but in person you discover their true colors.

6. Don't make excuses for your own bull crap.

Don’t make excuses for yourself. We are all human and no one is perfect. Besides, the only thing standing in between you and your goal is you and your bullcrap story you keep telling yourself about why you can’t achieve it.

7. Tell it how it is or not at all.

Blunt people are the best kind of people. People like it when you’re real with them. It is a sense of honesty and that is a very rare thing to find in someone these days. Make a point to be that friend that others count on. Always say what you mean or don’t waste your breath.

Only you can make it happen.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
