Why Being Unconventional in Your Mid-20s (Is Okay) and Crucial to the Start of the Rest of Your Life
Every millennial has heard it at least once. "We're lazy." "We have no work ethic." "It's time to pick a career and settle down and have a billion babies"... Okay, maybe not a billion but you understand what I mean. What if none of that is true, though?

Community Change
You can make a change. Yes, you, every single one of you, can make a change in not just your life, but your community. Don’t believe me? You will believe me after I explain how you can, I promise it’s easy. Just be you. Making a change in our community starts with the most important people around us. We are all the same, we want to have good change in our lives. I believe that this topic should be valued because it’s not valued by our society and it truly should be because everyone should be treated not only with respect but also kindness and to feel cared about. Today, I will explain to you why being a change in your own community is a huge step in not only being a change in society, but around the world. Our society lacks so much, our world is broken because people are not valuing what they were taught to value.

The Meaning of Success
2017 has had its up and downs, like most years, but I feel this year was different from others as I experienced new things that I will slowly write about. 2017 has taught me real life valuable lessons that I will appreciate the whole of my life; it has definitely given me a better understanding about life in general. I feel this year I have discovered the meaning of life and what is actually important, and what I thought was important isn’t as important anymore for me personally.

Failure, Ain't All That Bad
I’m a failure. I won’t ever reach my true potential. This is too difficult. I’ve tried everything! Have you ever spoken any of those phrases? Have you ever thought those words after not being hired for the job of your dreams? Have you ever sat in your car driving home after being dumped by the love of your life?

What is Your Why?
Oftentimes we find ourselves stuck at a bit of a crossroad when it comes to understanding how to drive our own motivation. The simplicity of “Just Do It” can be complex all on its own which can cause those struggling with dim introspection to lose drive and motivation. Many can relate to this paradox with the goal of health and fitness. You might have said this a time or two: “I’m going to start working out at the beginning of the month,” or “ I am going to make healthier food choices starting Monday.” That illusive Monday never comes… Perhaps yours is, “ I want to lose weight, and I know I have to exercise, but I can’t exercise until I lose some weight first.”

Leadership Is a Verb
When I earned my first management position, I was elated. FINALLY! People had finally given me the credit I DESERVED! I had this grand notion that with the flick of my wrist, the stroke of a pen, that all of these great ideas I had locked away would be done and completed and those I was tasked with leading would instantly follow. I mean, why wouldn't they?

Redefining Success
I recently had this discussion with a close friend, on what ‘success’ is and how you recognise it. She had just turned 30 and I am a few months from that milestone, I’m sure we are far from the only friends entering a new decade who have had the reviewed and assessed whether we are where we thought we would be. My friend said she considered me successful, looking at aspects such as my career, relationship, living arrangements etc., but I did not. That’s not to say I am unsatisfied with my current situation, not by any means but ‘success’ is one of those terms we rarely attribute to ourselves. Success is an aspirational, and ever moving goalpost. Most of us know what our personal version of success looks like but how many people actually stop and say, “Right, that’s it. Nothing more to do”? Redefining what success looks like as our situation changes is part of life and necessary for continued improvement… just as long as you can view that moving goalpost as a new opportunity and not as an impossible distance that makes you a failure.
