You Attract What You Are In Life, Not What You Want Out Of It
pxhere.com

Recently, I’ve been disappointed with some of the people in my life. People who I thought would have my back through it all and defend my name to the grave have betrayed me. People who said that they loved me, stopped showing it. I won’t harp on betrayal or heartache, because we’ve all been there and that’s not where I’m going with this.

After living, and learning, I distanced myself from these people who I once deemed closest to me. While standing from afar, and looking back I began to realize what the real issue in my life was. I was attracting the wrong people, because I was being the wrong person.

You attract what you are, not what you want.

If you want a man with goals, ambitions, and consistency.. you should find yourself focusing on developing goals for yourself, following your own ambitions, and creating consistency in your own life. Focus on BECOMING the person of your dreams in order to ATTRACT the person of your dreams.

A million likes online won’t make you like yourself.

It all begins with you. Learning to love yourself so that you can in turn give that same love to someone else. Remembering to respect yourself so that they have a reason to respect you. Because let’s face it, you deserve the best and have no obligation to settle for less than just that.

You can’t pray a ten cent prayer, and expect a million dollar answer. You can’t be a ten cent lady and expect a million dollar man.

You know what they say, you get what you give and I believe this holds true in every aspect of life. The joy of it is, believe it or not... you CAN create your own happiness. You control the thoughts in your mind, just as you control who you chose to surround yourself with.

Happy people are happy with themselves because they do what makes them happy, and in turn attract happy people that are out doing what makes them happy.

A better and happier life, begins with you!! It begins with YOUR effort, with YOUR ability, and with YOUR success. In the end, be sure that you can say that you chose your life — and didn’t settle for it.

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.
