When The Good Gets Going, Prevail

Be victorious in your own life...

When The Good Gets Going, Prevail

We all have hopes, dreams, ambitions and goals. Hopefully each and every one of us works hard to achieve whatever we want out of life, big or small. I work hard towards my goals because that satisfaction of completing one feels just as good as when we completed one on The Sims back in the day. A little "hurrah" voice goes off in your head letting you know that you did it, you did the thing. When you have something good in your life happen, you want more. It is an awesome feeling and we want to hold onto that feeling as long as possible.

Be victorious. Reach for the stars. When I have my goals in mind I try to do as much as I can when I'm able to complete them. It makes me feel good to have something good happen. And hello ladies and gents, ambition and goal orientation is extremely attractive. You should try it. Sometimes we feel as if we don't have our ish together, but when that good thing happens, it makes everything worthwhile.

Being happy is an emotion that we are all able to feel. It is one of the greatest emotions on Earth next to love. Being satisfied with something in life escalates our "feel good" chemicals in our body, and honestly I think they're contagious.

If you show other people your happiness I guarantee it'll rub off on them. I'm not sure how it works, but it does. Having a lot of great things happen in your life at once is like winning the lottery in life and wondering "is this real life" -quoted by the boy at the dentist.

So go on, make some good things happen in your life. Work on your goals and go above and beyond with them. It's your life and you choose how to make it. Don't let anybody affect you negatively and always try to keep a positive attitude and outlook. I promise you it works.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
