Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Just Another Day at the Office
From a young age, we are often asked what it is we want to be when we grow up. As innocent and sometimes funny as that question might be, it is not always an easy one to answer, especially when you're not 5. Here I am, 20 years old, not in school, working my ass off to make my rent every month, and I have no idea were I'm going next. As much as it is great to plan for the future; in reality that detailed step by step plan is going to go exactly *well* to plan. That's okay. Life happens, shit happens, you fall in and out of love, and you live.

Creating the Power Mindset
Your mindset is what you think daily, people always wonder why they were so close to success, and things fell through. My answer you ask? Well, it's the simple fact that you did not have a positive mindset believing that anything is possible.

A Work in Progress
At the age of ten, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. For those of you that are not familiar, Hypothyroidism fucks with your metabolism. A lot. To the point where I was gaining weight just for being alive. Literally everything I ate made me heavier and heavier, and I didn’t even realize it until the 7th grade. I’ve lost a tremendous amount of weight since then, and am creeping closer to my ideal weight, but the feeling of being heavy has never left me. However, I have come a long way on this journey of finding self-love and being able to live my life for myself. That is why I wanted to share some of my thoughts and experiences, in hopes that whoever reads this might find revelation in it.

2 Reasons You Are Unhappier Than You Should Be
#1 There is so much power in your focus. One thing that is nice about being a human being is that we have the ability to focus. You may be thinking, why is that so great? We can choose to focus on whatever we want when we want. That should be the best news ever! Think about that, we have the ability, day in and day out, to focus on what we personally want to. Now whether that is thinking about what makes you happy, what you want to come into your life, or what is going wrong in your life, YOU have the choice. That power gives you the ability to feel good more of the time even though for most of us it is doing the opposite.

Purposeful Living?
It started when I woke up one day to a knock at my door. I lived in a dorm room with forty women. One woman came in asking me if I could go with her to get a flu shot and I said yes, of course. This one favor may not seem like it could lead to a whole turn around of my lifestyle, but it did when she had a favor a day. Soon, I was pushing my own responsibilities. I stopped going to the gym, eating when I was hungry, doing my laundry every week, and making my bed every day. My own responsibilities did not compare to taking care of others. I resented my friends and the people I spent time with because it felt more like a chore than my own choice. By spending time with others, I knew I could push my anxieties and depression to the back of my mind. Until, they would come out at my least convenience: at the grocery store, falling asleep at night, or in class. All I ever wanted was to be alone and sleep. Sleep because I hadn't slept that night and be alone because my friends weren't real friends. I was a puppet, completing their tasks and making them happy. Where was my happiness?

Laws of Attraction: The Secret to Mental Abundance
"If you can see it in your mind, it is already in your hands" — Bob Proctor The law of attraction is one of the most powerful laws of the universe. What you think about, what you spend your energy on, is what you will attract into your life. It is really that simple. You think negative, you get negative. Consistently worrying and dwelling on your problems will effectively only attract more negativity. Why? Because that is where and what you have focused your attention and spent your your energy on.

Understanding the Role of the Ego
Who Am I? It's been quite sometime now that I have been trying to grasp the concept of the ego. What is it? What is its goal? Is it bad? Is it this separate person living inside of me? Why do I hate it? And Why does it seem like its always getting in the way and causing problems for me?
