Rose
I didn't even know how to spell my middle name until I was six. My mom made up our names, so we were destined to be different. She didn't think about the possibility of us not being hired or ridiculed because of them, she was thinking about the uniqueness we would represent because we were HER children, and dared someone to think differently.
Dajanae DavisPublished 6 years ago in MotivationA Post for Those Who Don't Know Where or Who They Are Yet
As cliché as it is, life is just one big what if. Everything happens for a reason—a quote I've always passed on situations, and an ex boyfriend who told me it was stupid made me realise even more so, that life pans out the way it's meant to.
Lou BPublished 6 years ago in MotivationCrack the </Code> for... Confidence
Nearly everyone wishes they were more confident at some point in their life. In this age of constant social media, it is more difficult than ever to be confident 24/7. With the abundance of haters and trolls on the internet it can be nerve-racking to post a selfie without making the "right" face or without editing it so much that you are nearly unrecognizable. That is not true happiness or confidence, that is attempting to change to the mold you think will make you perfect. Guess what? You are already made perfectly the only thing you have to do is embrace it instead of changing it.

Eric BurdonPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Keep Track of Your Own Deadlines, To Do Lists, and Productivity Logs
Keeping track of your own deadlines happens when you make a deadline list as I’m about to do for myself. To Do Lists constitute a brain dump of everything you need to get done while then breaking it down into smaller lists. To do lists only work if you have a schedule on an Excel file that tells you what you are doing with each two-hour block you give yourself, whether it is two hours or fifteen minutes. I give myself two hours. Time management is really easy and doesn’t involve looking at the clock every ten minutes. Time management is about using the greatest resource anybody has to your advantage. This huge resource is time.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow Changing My Perspective Changed My Entire Life
"Will I remember this day 10 years from now?" This is a question I often ask myself, thinking what have I done today that will help me remember this day 10 years from now. Whenever I ask anyone in my family about their teenage years, all they remember is what type of person they were back then. They don't necessarily remember the individual moments, or the times they felt the happiest. Does that mean that they haven't done anything worth remembering? I guess that's the answer I'll never know. All I know, however, is that I don't want to end up in the same place as them.
Rahi ShahPublished 6 years ago in MotivationLetter to the CVS Man
Dear enthusiastic employee at CVS, Before I begin, I just want you to know that I think you are lovely. You attempt to make conversations with those around you and even offered to help me with my purchases out to my non-existent car. I’m sure that you meant well in all things but I just want to point out what you did was enlightening but hurtful.
Juliet WilliamsPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Become a Better Version of Yourself Through the Failure
Fall on your face! Fail! Fail spectacularly. Because when you fail, you learn. When you fail, you live. This quote is from the movie I like a lot—The Last Word, 2017. It shows the life in real colors and says to every person on another side of the screen: no matter how hard life is at the moment, no matter what's your age—it is not the end until it is the end. You can fail million times, but this is how you grow, how you become a better version of yourself.
Karma LVPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow To Overcome Poverty Consciousness
Many of us are in a state of lack and don't even know it. Belief that you do not have what you need to survive or what you want to reach your goals is poverty consciousness or a state of lack. The law of attraction may be working against you if you are focusing on what you do not have and ignoring what you do have.

In order to move forward and accomplish your goals you may need to reprogram your brain, your thought patterns to recognizing an abundant state and attracting more abundance. Here are three simple methods you can implement in your daily life to reprogram your thoughts, reach your goals and find true joy in your daily life.

Your house is your sanctuary, your safe place where you can relax, take off your shoes, and forget about your troubles by drowning them in endless Netflix shows and movies. However it is also your jail, limiting your potential, your social life, your opportunities and your motivation.

AnnePublished 6 years ago in MotivationIntroduction of ME
Welcome to my first post and story to introduce myself. I know boring right? I guess that will depend on your opinion of how you find me on first glance. My name is Camron and I have always dreamt of being a person who creates the ripples of change in the world. My aspirations of being involved with politics, theater, writing, and society have been a growing desire within the past two years after going through my first year of college. These two desires have brought me here to Vocal to create a starting point that I can jump from.
