Why You Should Never Lose Your Flame
Razaberrys

You should never lose the passion that drives you to do something you love. You should never believe that your dreams are not good enough to achieve.

Everyone has a singular flame burning inside of them. It is the determination you hold and the motivation you have to achieve your hopes and dreams.

You should never lose your flame.

The flame that inspires you to keep moving forward day by day. Week by week. Month by month. Even year by year. To allow you to become that much closer to your end result. It becomes all the more sweeter when you get that much closer to it as time goes on. It will be worth the wait. It will be worth the effort. It will be worth the sweat, the tears, the pain, and everything else in between that it took you to get to that achievement. No matter what you go through in the process, your flame should never go out. There may be days where your flame is so bright that you feel unstoppable, but there will always be days where your flame will dwindle down to almost nothing. It's very easy to let a flame die down, but it takes love and perseverance to allow that flame to keep going no matter what. Once the flame goes out, it can be lit again, but it won't stay lit for long. It will only stay if you put everything you have into keeping it bright.

Your dream is to own your own restaurant one day? You better start planning that menu out now because you're going to have your restaurant. Your dream is to have children with the love of your life? Better start thinking of names because you will have children. Your dream is to visit another country? Better get your passport ready because you're going to visit another country.

No matter what you want in life, you always need to stay motivated to reach your goals. Once that flame is gone, life starts to lose its purpose. If someone doesn't have something that they are aiming towards... what's the point? Everyone wants something to some extent. Whether it be large or small, everyone has something they want to be able to have in life.

Everyone deserves the chance to make their dream a reality. Everyone deserves the life that they want. Everyone deserves to allow their flame to never die because you should never lose your flame. No matter what.

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.
