Success Comes In All Ages And Forms

A person can be successful at any point. How much work you put in is what's important.

Everyone in the world wants at least one form of success. Maybe not too much or maybe a lot. Or maybe there are people who actually don't and that's OK too.

I know I want success. The thing is, I want to live a long successful life. Meaning that I want to be successful at a young age and do something extraordinary.

That's not to mean I haven't accomplished great things but I'm not going to lie, I want people around the world to know my name and what I've accomplished.

To some, that may sound selfish, but I think it's completely fine to want more out of life. It's fine to want to be young and successful. We look at so many young actors and actresses, musicians, young people who have started fundraising campaigns/organizations, etc. and some of us want our name out like that.

I used to think that you had to be a certain age to be successful or be young. If you were perhaps slightly older than you late twenties, than that may be seen as too old or not the right age to be successful.

Yet, at the same time, you could be in your mid-30s or above and be successful too. Yes, it took awhile for the major things in life to happen but you were able to get to the place you wanted to get. You were able to have that house you wanted, that car you wanted, or even just the title/name you strived for.

Age doesn't have to define your success. A person can be successful at any point in their life. They don't have to have a number be the basis of what and how they get their success but should know that the fact of the matter is what they did to make it happen.

People who are successful in the world had to work hard to get to where they wanted to be. They had to strive and push themselves to be the person they wanted to be. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reached the point of success they are at.

No matter if you are in your teens, twenties, fifties, or any other age, don't let age define your success. If you want something in life go after it. Start towards the destination you want to go towards and remember to put in all the work you can and then some, to be successful.

The fact that you started is success enough.

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.
