Ask and You Shall Receive
It's not out of the ordinary for so many of us to feel stuck at various points in our lives. To feel like we are alone and that no one wants to help us. For several years I felt like that and a lot of my life I spent solving things all on my own.

24 Things I Learned by 24
Society has a way of making us feel like failures when we do not follow the timeline that has been set out for us. School, graduate, career, partner, house, marriage, babies... this narrative is getting old. We deserve to live at our own pace and our journey does not have to be set out for us like that. Today, I turn 24! I want to share 24 things that I have learned while navigating the increasingly insane expectations of life. All of which are accomplishments of their own.

Embrace the Things You Don't Like About Yourself!
Hello everyone. My name is Nelly James. I have been through many trying times where I have felt to just just give up and throw in the towel because I always felt as if I wasn't good enough for anybody, especially my family. I started smoking weed at the young age of nine years old as well as drinking just to see how I can get the spirit of loneliness to exit my body. I had no body.

Life Lessons
So today, I'm feeling horrible, I'm sick!! My head is throbbing, like someone is using a jack hammer in there, my sinuses are blocked beyond belief—but I'm still writing because I made a commitment to myself. Today's story was inspired by something that I saw on Facebook.

Without Friends
First grade, I remember my first best friend and exactly how we met. I was such a quiet child and at that time I didn’t know much English so she was always there to help. I loved her so much. In second grade, our group got bigger. It was P, J, B, K, and me. What I remember the most is deciding on what to wear a day before so we could match outfits. The good days.

A Start to Mindfulness for the Broken Minds and Souls
In today's society, humans are so wrapped up in the "rat race;" the "Get up and go" scene. They never really take a moment to spend time with themselves; to nourish their inner beings, at all. Then, we have the tendency to sit back and wonder why we feel the way that we do. Depressed? Hopeless? Lack of purpose? Sick? Stressed? Maybe even angry and impatient all of the time. (I sadly see this way too often.)

Living Life by a Life Clock
I have been wondering why the achievements I have accomplished don't make me feel as happy lately. I feel like my life clock has been ticking and by each second I am falling more and more behind. One big reason behind this is I have always done everything in my life based on what is " normal for my age" and I put that in quotations because everyone has their own definitions on what is normal for their age. Some of the normal for my age things I did:

Lighten Up Morgan!
When I started finding out my personality of an INFJ (Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging) I realize now that I was lost. I lost myself in the weight of carrying all of the struggles, and anger of my ancestors and community. I tend to carry them with me when I walk outside in the world. I see from their eyes in a way. It seems fantastical, but as an old soul I see young students on my campus, walking in their pairs of four, so stiff, so serious, so concerned on being seen. I was just like that before at their age. The level of growth from 18 to 21 that I have made seems tremendous to me mentally and in the way I walk through life. I want to take time to give thanks to my family and close friends that have been here supporting me in my journey. When you live in your head, sometimes it is hard to find those happy places when you have given yourself permission to be your harshest critic.

Overcoming Negative Thoughts
I've always known that I was put on this earth to do some pretty amazing things. I remember being a child and just having the most overwhelming feelings of superwoman-ness that I would literally cry. Because I just couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do with it.

You've Got to Be Ready for Your Next Opportunity!
"You Miss 100% Of The Shots You Don't Take...." Wayne Gretzky, hockey legend Oh my! Pickup any book, watch any video, ready any article, attend any seminar from those who make a living in the self-improvement and motivation industry—and it is quite a burgeoning industry today—and there is likely only a slight variation on a single, core message: You've got to be ready for your opportunity! While way, way too much money is being made by often self-appointed gurus selling themselves and their advice in this area, there can be no disputing this simple fact. Whether in your business, your career, your relationships—you have to be paying attention to be able to recognize that your chance to shine is at hand!

Why Procrastination Is a B***h
Imagine constantly trying your hardest to find the willpower to do something but then you get that stupid little voice in your head saying, "Just do it later. You've got time. It's not going anywhere. It'll still be there even if you take a little time off."
