The Goal is to be Successful, Not Stressful

Image
After listening to a TED Talks podcast today, I became very inspired to talk about something that is near and dear to my heart. Lets discuss goals and motivation. Sure many people have goals, and many people are successful at meeting these goals. I really believe the real struggle begins the time you meet the goals. The idea of meeting the goals but keeping motivated to strive for other, more extensive goals is the thing that is really arduous. For me, the goals were ones that took a lot of time, and patience to meet, and when I finally met them I was on top of the world. The real reason I believe, is the change you see in yourself, or others when you are successfully meeting said goals. First and foremost, a lot can be said for someone that sets goals, and stays motivated long enough to see results. Really a struggle in this part of goal making is actually seeing progress. For some it could be decreasing sugar, or increasing water. Small goals ultimately will help you achieve larg...

Valentine's Day

Well we know this comes around every year, the dreadful Valentine's day blanket of "look what my babe got me", and "I'm so in love". Well I wouldn't say I'm a cynic, but I would say I believe that holiday's like these are so hurtful for friends, family and significant others.

I know there are so many people asking the same question, but lets be real... It is a legitimate question. Why do we feel the need to limit our k...

Millennials and rambling

As the true Millennial that I am, I feel as if were given bad reputation. I'd say its probably because of the millions of people that in deed give us that bad reputation. Unfortunately, I have to say it's rightfully so. We as millennials have a chance to change the narrative. There are so many new innovative things available to us now, than ever before. With the help of  social media we can change the platform to which people view the world. We can utilize these sites to help fight for injustice, animals, babies whatever your cause. But what I have seen lately, and correct me if I am wrong, is we use these to spread hate and bully others into what we believe. Have you ever heard of the phrase "You can catch more bee's with honey, than with vinegar". This has never been more true then it is now. I think what were forgetting is that in we believe that if we are aggressive, and vulgar we can persuade people into believe our truths. But if you look at legitimate thoug...
