You Do NOT Need Permission To Live Your Dreams, In Fact, I Challenge You To Chase Them

YOU are the only thing that is holding you back from your dreams.

You Do NOT Need Permission To Live Your Dreams, In Fact, I Challenge You To Chase Them
Sophia Mayfield

What if I told you there is only one thing that is deterring you from your dreams and aspirations? Just one thing... that sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, it isn't.

Ultimately, it is ourselves that is stopping us from reaching our goals. In this case, we are our own worst enemies. *My Own Worst Enemy starts playing in the background* Here's why.

We are constantly waiting for permission to do what we need to do to make ourselves happy. You are not a child anymore.

You do not need permission to live your dreams.

Stop waiting for someone to tell you "you'd be great at that!" or "you should definitely go for it". Too much of our lives are spent on waiting. We wait for the "perfect sign" and just the right circumstances to follow our wants. It's time to stop waiting to live.

Stop settling.

This is another problem that is pushing us further from our plans. We just accept that our lives are the way they are. Live your life how it is truly supposed to be. Things do not have to just remain average. You have the choice to change that.

Doubt yourself NO more. I promise you are capable of more than you realize and can achieve anything you want.

Self-doubt is toxic — cut that out of your life. Also, cut the toxic people from your life. They will not change and they're only bringing you down. You know who they are. You are capable of so much more without their negativity. Positive thoughts only.

It's OK to be scared.

I promise it's normal. Yes, there is a fear of failure, but what about the chance of success? You will never know if you do not take that step and try. Fear is all in your head.

I challenge you to live the life of your dreams...starting now. Too many people will never live the life of their dreams. Too many people will continue to live a mediocre life. Don't let that be you. Move forward and create the life of your wonders today.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
