Inspiration To Keep Moving Forward With Yourself

Never be afraid of who you truly are!

Inspiration To Keep Moving Forward With Yourself
Dream On Dreamer

Just a little inspiration for you to continue loving life and not worry about what others think, because at the end of the day, who do we go home with? Ourselves!

1. This life is what you make it.

Marilyn Monroe couldn't have said it any better! Life is definitely what you make it! I learned this through many tough trials during my life that both life and people in it threw at me. I have been back-stabbed, used, judged, and even mocked. Back then, I would cry myself to sleep at night over it and spend every waking hour trying to change myself to be someone that others would accept. But finally, one day, I realized it is just not worth it! If they can't accept me for who I truly am, then I don't need them in my life! That and a really smart friend of mine told me, "You can count your true friends on one hand." She was right!

2. You and God are your only judges.

Nobody's opinion about the way you live your life and what you do matters except your own and God's. Who has to deal with both their good and bad decisions throughout life, along with the rewards and heartaches they bring? You! Who knows everything you do at all times, even when nobody else is around? God. So why do you have to answer to everyone else out there as to why you do things the way you do them? Why do you have to worry about what they think about you? You don't!

3. Trust yourself.

Trust in yourself! Trust that you can be your own judge (God being the main judge of course) and be successful. Because you can be! We all have the potential to create our own success and trust me, the sky is the limit!

5. Take chances!

Take a chance! You never know what opportunities can pop up in life or what wonderful people can come into your life and make it even better than what it already was or even help you grow! Whether it is a career opportunity, a friend, or a date - believe in yourself and take the chance! You never know what endless possibilities of amazing things you are capable of.

6. Be you!

Only you know what you truly want, believe and love. Do not be afraid to go out there and enjoy this beautiful gift we have been given: LIFE!

7. Always remember:

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
