What is that you want to achieve? How can you get better? How can you grow? Creating a habit of your own path can be the best way to start.

Life can be a persistent teacher. We are consumed with regrets, failures, and insecurities. We feel overwhelmed by situations we cannot change and things we wish we could take back. We experience different emotions like heartbreaks, loss and fear, betrayal, jealousy and bad memories. However, change is only constant, the art of learning to let things go and leaving the worries of the past to yesterday can be the best way to view many ways of a change, cope with it, and ultimately accepting it.

Accept

Accept your imperfections, change your idea of beauty. Accept your family, friends come and go. Accept your losses, it will change your earnings. Accept your situation, it will change your outlook. Accept your fate, it will take you to the best journey. Accept where you are now, it will lead you to where you want to be. Accept your past choices, and continue to make new ones. Accept those who hurt you, it will change what is surrounding you. Accept your body, is the only one we have. Accept the things you can't change and change the things you can't accept. The sooner you start accepting the things you cannot change, the happier you will be. The more you change the things you refuse to accept, the greater person you will become.

Grow

If you are feeling comfortable, you're probably stuck not being amazing. All growth depends on actions. There will be no development physically or intellectually with no effort, and effort means hard work. To grow, you have embrace discomfort. The progress won't be easy, it will make you feel anxious and scary, but in the end, it will make you become a better person. It forces you to change, stretch, and adapt. When you are challenged, you feel the eager to become more than you currently are. That is why finding a new perspective, acquiring new skills and pushing your boundaries is what will make you succeed in this journey. Adapting is one of the most important skills that you can have for a truly fulfilling life. If you acquire this skills, you can basically master anything. Give yourself permission to think and act beyond the usual. Challenge your mind and most things that feel impossible will come along until they are done.

Achieve

Everyone wants to be happy, have a healthy life, do meaningful things, enjoy their careers and achieve financial independence. Once you have accepted and grow, all this factor will come your way with success. To achieve great things it usually takes a lot of hard work into the same process. Having in mind where is exactly where you want to be can be the first step into success. Take actions towards your goal, do something every day that will make you achieve your plans. As hard as the process may be or feel, never give up, your success will take time but with hard work and effort, I guaranteed you that you will get to your ultimate goal.

Accept the change, because its presence means that the energy is flowing into your life. However uncomfortable it may be, it lets us know that we are growing. Where there is no change, there is no growth or life. Worry in moments of calm, since the spiritual growth occurs during the challenges.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

224

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
