Never Lose the Fire Within - Here's Why

     The worst decision a person can make is to give up on a dream, goal, or achievement.  We are capable of success, but it can come at a cost.  Whether it be loss of free time, sleep, or putting one's social life on the back burner, chances are one will be affected.  So, why do people lose their drive to succeed?  In my opinion, there are two reasons, comfort, and responsibility.
     When people are comfortable, they may question why they would want to spend extra energy working towards a goal.  Now, I am not saying that comfortable people do not reach for the stars.  I am, however, saying this type of thinking can be present in the back of their minds, making it difficult to work towards a goal.  subconsciously, they believe their lives are good enough.  They do not need to put themselves through something strenuous unless they choose to do so.  Some allow these thoughts to hold them back, preventing any form of progression or change from occurring. 
     Responsibilities require time and energy.  When people have met their responsibilities for the day, they often want to sit back, relax, and enjoy their free time.  As we progress through life, our responsibilities grow while our free time diminishes.  Because of this, we tend to focus more on rest and relaxation rather than using free time to work.  Now, there is nothing wrong with wanting to relax, but to achieve a goal, you have to sacrifice some free time.  Logically, relaxation should not be the deciding factor as to whether or not a goal will be achieved.  However, with everything we endure throughout our lives, it can be hard to put ourselves through something slow-moving and difficult instead of taking a break.
     Whether it be the excuse of comfort or responsibility, get out of that way of thinking.  Our success is only limited when we choose to believe so.  In reality, the possibilities are endless.  More so, whether you succeed or fail in achieving your goals, at least you put in the effort and revealed the outcome.  Later in life, you will thank yourself, because at least you can say you tried.  That is more than can be said for some who never tried and regret their decisions.  Do not like outside forces prevent the fire inside from burning out.  The moment that happens is the moment when you stop learning, living, and loving.  Most noticeably, you truly begin to grow old, and who wants that?

How Communication Can Repair & Strengthen Relationships

      Communication is the key to success in all aspects of life.  We often assume people know how we are feeling, but this is not the case.  Nobody truly understands how you are feeling unless you tell them.  To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realize how seldom they do.”  The Importance of Communication      Without communication, we tend to overthink, overreact, and become emotional.   We lack answers so we make them up in our heads.   Small problems become big problems real quick, and we may lash out at the other person.   If you don’t know what’s going on in the other person’s head, how can you expect to understand their way of thinking?        When we communicate, we learn from the other person’s perspective.   Instead of using our own perception to justify something, we learn the real reason behind someone’s actions, ...

Life Advice Blog #21 - Relaxation

     Relaxation is just as important as working hard.  People tend to work themselves to the bone in order to achieve their goals.  Everyone needs to do this once in a while.  However, constantly working this way can lead to fatigue, ultimately leading to the person giving up on what they set out to do.  This is why there has to be a balance between hard work and relaxation.  Working hard all of the time will lead to failure due to fatigue.  Constantly relaxing leads to laziness, meaning nothing will be accomplished.  By balancing hard work and relaxation, a person is able to accomplish their goals while also maintaining the motivation to do so.      Nobody should think that relaxing is a waist of time.  Relaxing is the best way to regain the strength and motivation to work hard.  Without relaxation, success would be much more difficult to obtain, because people would lose the motivation to push forward....

Finding Your Creativity - 5 Methods

     Creativity is an invaluable resource and the backbone to human progression.   Every advancement made throughout human history was the result of someone’s creative and intellectual mind.   Planes, trains, and automobiles are great examples.   However, creativity is not used solely for the progression of mankind.   Creativity can also be used in an individual’s everyday life to make life easier and more enjoyable.   People use their creativity to solve problems, make their daily routine more efficient and less time consuming, as well as for entertainment purposes.   If you have ever made up a story in your head while bored you know what I am talking about, or if you played with action figures, inanimate objects, or roleplaying games.      As kids, we seem to have a limitless supply of creativity.   Much of that has to do with our curiosity, innocence, and lack of responsibility.   However, some ‘grow up’ a...
