Understanding your goals to help you achieve them.
It's Time to Let Go!
What would you risk to make your dreams come true? We spend a lot of time dreaming and hoping that one day we may accomplish our dreams and our goals, but when you finally start seeing things turn around for you; when you finally see your dreams coming true; you finally see things in your life progressing; will you allow yourself to fall back or will you allow yourself to lose focus and get distracted?

Pariah—Lonely Living in 2018
I can feel the uncertainty and sadness in the air. It is almost tangible and if you sit too still you can get infected yourself. I don't know if it's the way that 2018 has been. We have lost many of the legends and stable leaders in politics, music, and science from Aretha Franklin, to John McCain, to Stephen Hawking. The air feels different, our country is controlled by unstable, shady leaders who make America come off as elephants in the room. It seems that we are also becoming more hateful, more polarized, and colder as our leaders make affairs seem common, and turn the other way to climate change, and our warming weather. We have turned back time in many ways to push us back for trans rights, and walls are attempting to be built to divide us from our immigrants. We are becoming more and more isolated within our phones, within the rigor of demands from our academics to our jobs. It is hard to trust others, and we close our hearts more and more each day in frustration and hate-speech towards ourselves subconsciously. I can feel somber emotions seep into my core, and I don't know if it is my empathic feeling the sorrow of war continuing for generations, I can feel the violent hearts, I can feel the breakups, I can feel the fading friendships, and frustrations. People are feeling deep despair, and it has been ongoing for the past two years under the Trump administration.

What's Next?
Picture this: You graduate high school in the top 10th percentile of your class. You get accepted into your top pick university and you go on to join clubs, get a work-study job, and join a Greek organization. Even become the president of it. You volunteer when you can each semester, and take as many classes as you can. You graduate with a degree that you believe will allow you to do great things in life—nay, better—you graduate with two degrees and a minor after four years of hard work in college with cum laude. What next?

New Year Resolutions or Long Term Solutions. Top Story - December 2018.
So it’s that time of the year again. You know the drill—suddenly everyone is feeling inspired to change their life for the better by changing their habits and routines for healthier alternatives. Whether it’s starting to exercise on a regular basis, quitting smoking, going vegan—there isn’t any other time in the year when people are as willing to launch the new version of themselves into existence. Which is great, it really is. The timing also makes perfect sense, the end of one cycle and the beginning of another is the most pronounced just before New Year starts. With so many people focusing on the same thing, the gateway is indeed powerful and the energies support the magic of new beginnings. Even the fact that different calendars and certain countries celebrate New Year at different times doesn’t reduce its impact as most of the world still associates the first of January with a fresh start.

Level Up
It's time to LEVEL UP! In life you constantly move up and grow. There is no one that just stays at one grade in school. Everyone grows. Once you achieve one thing, you don't keep repeating that stage. The best thing to do is to move up to the next level and work towards achieving what that level has in store for you.

Is It Okay to Want More Out of Life?
"I want more," he said."Don’t be ungrateful," his parents reply. If you recognise the conversation above, you understand what it’s like to have everything you have ever wanted and want more. The simple act of wanting more creates a form of guilt in so many of us—how can we be so ungrateful to ask for more? The world is handed to each of us away from war, famine, suffering in general—for those of us lucky enough to have been born in to the so called "first world." The blessings that we have been given are ridden with something toxic. The toxicity that comes from it forces us to push our desires in to the very core of ourselves—to hide them away. Our desires and our passions often mean that we want more than what we have, so locking them away makes us not sound ungrateful and stops us from sounding like the brats that our parents warned us we would become, but at what cost?

Perseverance vs. Determination
What's the difference? Obviously, consistent and temporary are complete opposite terms. But, what's the difference between perseverance and determination? In technical terms, perseverance is considered "steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success," and determination is considered "firm or fixed intention."

Reach Your Goals
Every day I live by the list method in order to complete my goals both daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Without a list I wouldn’t know what to do with myself but then feel regret and disappointment in myself because I forgot to get something done.

Things You Should Do in Your 20s
Your 20s can be some really weird years. They're the years where you're trying to learn how to be an adult, but you don't quite know how to be an adult yet. It can be very easy to get caught up in trying to get your entire future figured out that you stop being you, and you stop trying to better yourself. Try doing a handful of these things while you're still in your 20s to remember that you're still human, and it's okay to have fun!

How to Be a PolyInnovator
Now this is more of a mix of me telling you how to become one, and me telling myself as well. Meaning I am still not there, this is an outline of sorts, a rough draft, a business plan, or some sort of synergy in between.
