Motivation to get you going toward your dreams

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "Motivation"? I'm sure people think of cheesy videos made by people on YouTube. Well it's not just that, because motivation is what comes from within you and it's what gives you that drive to do things. Not everyone has it because they are comfortable with being mediocre. If you think this is just some stupid article trying to motivate you and you don't care about wanting to make your life phenomenal then go ahead and stop reading now. For those of you who want to keep reading then it means you want to try and make a change in your life and begin a new chapter.

So, first of all. LIFE SUCKS. Plain and simple, life sucks and it's going to suck. Thing is it is going to keep sucking until you get up and do something about it. Life is literally what you make it, so that means you could make your life fantastic and be an astronaut or something or you can just keep being mediocre and sit in your living room and watch television not doing anything. For people who think that their life doesn't have any meaning or isn't worth anything; you're wrong. I mean god put you on this earth for a reason yeah? If I were you I would go out and find what that reason is.

Any dreams you have, just go after them. Failure is part of success, because if you didn't fail how would you learn? Failure is okay, it is a stepping stone toward success. There are doors that are always open for you to take, but only you can decide what door you take toward your path that leads to your dream. Don't be afraid to aim too high, don't be afraid to go after in what you believe, and most importantly, don't be afraid to fail. When you believe in something and you do take that door that leads to your dream, people will start questioning your motives. They will start telling you that you can't make it. They will start giving you weird looks and tell you that your changing and that they want the old you back. Do not listen to them, if you lose friends on the way toward your dreams then they weren't your friends to begin with, you will find knew ones that will support your decisions and help you along the way toward your dream.

Last but not least, never give up. Never give up on anything you do. Go 100% at everything you do, even if you do it incorrectly. Don't let anyone stop you from achieving greatness. And when you finally get to where you want in life, you can look back at all the ones who told you that you will never make it or that you will fail and just give up and tell them that you made it while they are still complaining about their mediocre life and their mediocre jobs.

In this closing paragraph I just want to say that everyone has been put on this earth for a reason and I want you to begin to find that reason. I want you to start living every day like it's your last, because what if it is your last day? What would you do differently? Everyone has potential in something, just never give up if you know what that potential is.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
