You Have The Strength Within To Move Life's Mountains

Let's admit it, life can truly suck at times.

When life has gotten you down to the point you feel there is no return, you must find the strength within to keep fighting. Life has a way of presenting the worst to you as you're right around the corner from the best. Don't give up on the journey to your best life, your best you!

Obstacles, or mountains as I call them, come in our lives to distract us.

They come to cause us to change our path, but guess what? You have the power to move those mountains. You have the power to get over those mountains. You have the power to keep moving forward!

We often times don't tap into the power we possess out of fear or anxiety. If we learned to take the mountains as learning experiences instead of dead ends in life, then we might be able to be further ahead of remaining fully esteemed.

Don't allow the anxiousness and pressure of climbing or moving the mountain to cause you to go backward.

Your greatest moments will be when you get to the other side. Hang on!

You have what it takes to get through this moment.

Everything you need is within you. Remember these mountains aren't here to kill you but just to show you the strength, power, and wisdom you possess inside.

You are capable of more than you can imagine.

The pressures of life can cause you to second guess yourself and all that you are made of. Though the path to your future isn't one of ease, the reward is worth every portion of the journey.

Every part of our journey is to build us up in a manner that we have something to reflect on.

As we travel through the journey of life, it's important to remember that each mountain that blocks us, teaches us something that will benefit us in some way in the future. You may not always understand at that moment exactly how that lesson will benefit you, but when the time is right, you will surely say, "I'm grateful for that moment."

Speak to those mountains that come in your path. Awaken the power that inside you. Whatever you do, never turn back. Your future is ahead of you, your past has nothing to offer you. This mountain in front of you can be moved if you tap into the power within.

Learn from this moment, stay positive and always keep going in the direction of your dreams! You've got this!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
