What's Your Purpose?

We are all alive for a reason.

What's Your Purpose?

There comes a time in everyone's life in which they wonder what the purpose of their life is. What am I doing here? What can I become? What am I really good at doing? Well, there's no need to worry anymore! Everyone has a purpose. If you think about it, the creator of Chick-fil-A probably only knew how to make chicken sandwiches. He probably sat there and wondered what he loved doing. He probably said "Hey, I make amazing chicken sandwiches! But, what can I do with that?" And look at him. There are a ton of Chick-fil-A restaurants in the United States.

I'm going on to say this because September was National Suicide Prevention Month. Every day matters. We all struggle and get to the point that we are not sure where we'll be next month or even next week. And that's OK. One of my good friends committed suicide a couple years ago and I don't know much about what she was going through, but I know that she was an intelligent, beautiful, funny person. She had the power and strength to be anything she wanted to be.

Make the best of what you can do! Embrace change. This is a big task because if you're like me, change scares the crap out of you! But, it's a part of society, apart of life! Keeping up with society and those around you will keep occurring, but get with it. Trying to hurt yourself or get out of the way that the world turns might take the pain away from you, but it gives the pain to others around you.

Find someone to confide in.

Take time to yourself.

Realize what you are talented in and figure out how you can be great.

Strive.

The best people have haters! Embrace change and embrace the haters because everyone is awesome in their own way!

What's your purpose? Touch your heart. THAT is your purpose. You are alive for a reason! Make the best of it.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
