Unpopular Opinion: Not Having a Passion is OK
Have you found your passion in life? No? NO? Follow you passion! Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life! Guess what? You probably won’t find your passion. Chances are, you might not even have the world’s definition of a “passion”.

Defeat Yourself
Many of us are defeated before we’ve even begun. We’ve subconsciously placed ourselves in the losers' circle because of the habits we’ve developed over time. Everyday things that we’re doing which ultimately result in our demise. The "cheat day" for our diets that happens at least three times a week, the thing you've always wanted to do but not until you research it and decide it's too much work, or the trip we've always wanted to take but instead end up spending that money on the clothes and morning coffee instead.

The Value of You
I know what you're thinking, another self-help article about feeling better, about being better. Wrong. I would never lecture somebody about their life, I'm just here to put in my two cents in and hopefully someone turns it into a million. How many times have you sat at home and swore to yourself that tomorrow was going to be the day? Tomorrow I'm going to do this, tomorrow I'm going to change that. I've been there, trust me I'm with you buddy. I hate to break it to you, but you might be dead tomorrow. That's not a threat, I'm just saying. How many times have you come home from a stressful day and thrown yourself directly into additional responsibilities? I'm active duty military with a wife and a two-year-old and sorry if you're reading this babe, but I'm going to say it. When I come home I give myself 20 to 30 minutes, sometimes even an hour to decompress. In that time, I am on my own, just me in my own thoughts, I do what I want and it has changed my life ever since I started the habit.

Tips for the People Who Just Do Too Much
Listen, some of us are the kings and queens of overloading our mental capacity. We work full-time, some of us go to college, we have significant others, and let's be honest, everyone wants just a little bit of a social life. When you work way too hard and overload yourself, things get jumbled, you fall behind and you panic. Rinse and repeat. Thankfully, people like myself thrive on order, and there's a system—yes, a system, to help the people who do way too much.

Reasons Millennials Are Under Incredible Pressure
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t struggling lately. Emotionally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, I’m exhausted. Everything I’ve been going through the past year, makes it really easy to just give in to all my insecurities and just hide away from the world. Those are the days I’ve found it’s THE MOST important to get up and prove to the world I’m not so easily defeated. You're allowed to cry, you're allowed to scream, you're allowed to feel insecure, just don’t give up.

⭐ Confidence
Confidence. Something which is not so easily attained by some of us including myself. You may be wondering how the opening image contributes in any way to what I'm about to talk about regarding confidence but take another look at said image in a different light.

But What About You?
We all go through mental waves. We feel great, energized, ready to take on the world, and then all the sudden everything is silent. We see in the mirror someone totally different than the proactive person we saw before. Most people have been taught that this person is less than the other. I’m here to say that is not true!

Adulting vs. Being an Adult
It's scary being twenty. Fifteen-year-old me thought I would have had it all figured out by now. Wishful thinking girl. There's so many choices, decisions to make, things to plan and figure out. When you are around this age, they say that the world is your oyster, with all the opportunities within your hands' reach, but I don't even like oysters. And if you are as indecisive as me, having all those opportunities can be a bit overwhelming at times.

17 Things I Learned by 17
A lot of times, I am often pegged as the girl who has it all. And growing up that was a very common perception to the people around me mostly due to the fact that I always seemed so happy. I mean what could I have to worry about right? I had my family, two parents who are still married, an amazing older brother, we were financially stable to where my brother and I could have whatever we wanted and needed and I was heavily involved in school clubs and activities. People never believed me when I would say that I had it hard. But they also failed to realize, my family wasn't and isn't always like this; when my brother and I were young we didn't have any money, I watched my parents grow and develop themselves professionally in order to be able to give my brother and I better opportunities. They also didn't see that I had been struggling with major depression and anxiety since middle school. I am by no means saying my life was hard, in reality my life has been very easy and I am beyond fortunate for that, but along the way there have been rough patches and that's where this came from. When I was 17, during my freshman year of college, I decided to make a list of all of the major life lessons I had learned throughout my life, before becoming a legal adult. So, here are the 17 things I learned by 17:

I Am Better Because of It.
There is no universal solution for happiness: no diet, no house, no spouse will ever be perfect — ever. Circumstances will always change with every passing day, no situation is permanently perfect. In my few years on this planet, I have gotten to experience devastating event after devastating event and I am better because of it. Those six words have become the driving statement of my life and I want to share why that is so with anyone who will listen. I don't guarantee to change your life or make you feel better, I just have a story that I want to share.

How Would You Live?
A friend of mine sent me a video earlier this week because he felt I needed to hear its message. The subject of the video was one I had never before heard, and I thought it a very clever way to address a universal issue that seems to plague many of us.
