It’s important to know yourself inside and out. Why? Well, knowing yourself inside and out means that know yourself better than anybody else possibly could. This includes your significant other (though they should know you fairly well), your best friend, and even your family members.

If you have not already done the following then you need to get on board with this now. Get into the habit of spending quality time with yourself. What I mean by this is make sure that you take some much-needed time throughout the day (and your life) to really explore your personality, hobbies, and interests. It’s important to really know yourself because when we are secure and confident in who we are, no one can waver our self-love and self-control.

It’s such a silly thing to think that we couldn’t possibly know ourselves as well as we like to think we do. However, the honest truth is a lot of people do not know themselves as well as they think they do. This could mainly be because they aren’t taking the time to really explore the little things that make them who they are. [Read more…]

Alright. Show of hands for how many of us are currently living a life we don’t love. What I mean by a life that we love, is a life where we are truly happy and fulfilled. So, if you are currently living a life that you don’t love, then you are not genuinely happy, satisfied, for have any true fulfillment with the life you currently have. Which isn’t a bad thing so please don’t take this the wrong way. It’s just something to be aware of, how fulfilled you feel about the live that you live.

If your hand just went up in the air, your heart just skipped a beat, you just took a deep breath in, or released a nervous breath that you were holding…you are not alone. I’d like to say that as I approach my mid 20s I’m living a happier and more fulfilled life, but the truth is I’m not. Chances are if you are reading this, sharing this (much appreciated!), or finding some common ground with this post, then you too may not be living your happiest and most fulfilled life.

Have you ever wondered what the secret was to making all your dreams come true? If so, then it’s good to know that I am not alone.

Truth be told I don’t entirely know what the secret is to making all your dreams come true. I don’t even know if there really is a secret. A formula, yes, perhaps, but a secret? Maybe not.

Here’s the thing. All my life I’ve dreamed big dreams. Dreams so big that I have actually been told they were impossible dreams. Dreams that could never come true. Why? Well because in the world I was introduced to, people just didn’t see their dreams come true. Instead, we live out our childhood doing child-like things, going to school, and eventually growing up to get a job as a way to make a living.

There was no time to slow down and just dream.

But I was different from most of my peers, I always knew that. I had dreams, big ones, and ever since I was 6 years old I had the determination to one day make them come true. Sure, I spent my childhood doing child-like things, but I also spent a big part of that trying to get my parents to move us out to California. I wanted to be where the action was, surrounded by like-minded people. That just wasn’t a possibly at the time for me due to financial reasons.

So of course, I went to school like “normal” children. My parents placed a high value on education, and I think I just naturally fell into that pattern. But I never let go of any of my dreams. No matter where my education took me, I always kept my dreams as my main priority in life. [Read more…]

It’s no secret that I’m a huge dreamer. In fact I have so many dreams, I tend to lose track of them all! But I don’t view this as a bad thing. Instead I view it as something to have power over. Dreams are a big part of our imaginations, our creativity, and our deepest fantasies. They are the very things we find motivation, inspiration, and determination in. They are essentially the key to success.

So I’m a big supporter of having dreams. Well, actually not just dreams, but big dreams. For having so many dreams that you can’t keep track of them. I’m a supporter of this because over the past couple of years I’ve come to understand that it’s honestly one of the main keys to my happiness.

And in all honestly, I think it could be a key factor for anybody in regards to their happiness. And who doesn’t want to be happy? [Read more…]
