A Do-Over
Imagine you find a cute little container in a thrift or antique shop, it’s got a little smudge on the side of it, so you buff it out with the hem of your shirt, and suddenly the world around you stops and stands stills. A big puff of purple smoke pops out, and a strange Robin Williams looking dude with gold bands around his hands offers you one chance at a do over. What would you do-over? Which single decision would you change?

After nearly 28 years on this Earth, I have only just realised something that's been defining my life; the true definition of aspiration.

It all started when I was 8-years-old. My school district was holding a writing contest where one person from each school would be chosen to have their story published and to go in front of all the district leaders. I was the student chosen from my school. The story was about a talking dog named Spot. At eight, you can imagine it was not the best piece of writing in the world but it gave me the writing bug and for the next ten years I wrote and wrote and got straight A's on almost every paper and essay I turned in. I was even accepted to a journalism program at the local college and planned to travel the world.

Everyone at one point in their life, will be faced with a task that seems insurmountable. Whether it be graduating college, separating two flat pieces of a lego, or even bathing an evil, water-hating cat; for any problem though , there is almost always the same set of solutions. You have to have a plan of action, have the right tools, practice if you need to, and if you still can’t do it, try again.

Self Care Challenge In October, some of my friends from work started a book club, and we started reading Rachel Hollis's Girl, Wash Your Face. Haven't read it? Go download it for your Kindle right now, or order it on amazon. It will be here in two days. Seriously, it's that good. We agreed to read two chapters per week for book club, but I read a chapter a day and had to stop myself from going on. It's funny, true and offered me exactly the kind of advice I was needing. As we began reading her book we discovered (only one day late) the 90 day challenge. The premise of the 90 day challenge is that we don't have to wait until the new year to make our lives better. Rather than always putting it off until January/Monday/the first of the month/after the holidays/etc., you should start now. Rachel Hollis challenged us (completely impersonally—through the internet) to make five promises to ourselves each day, and keep them. So many of us had never prioritized our own self-care before—not really. And so the idea of making a promise to ourselves was completely foreign—not to mention keeping it! So for the last 90 days of the year (October-December) we made a promise to ourselves to keep five promises everyday.

This week I stepped completely out of my comfort zone in search of myself and some place to belong. I have always had confidence issues and felt lost. I have always had friends, some of which I consider family, but my "tribes" died off a long time ago. The high school tribe moved onto college and new adventures. My "punk" tribe divided up and grew apart as we started families and careers away from the area. I love my friends, but I crave a place to really belong. With all of my weird and awkward ways, my tattoos and bright blue hair, I want to find the place where I belong.

25 can be a scary age, if you're not prepared. You are no longer a young and dumb 21-year-old who's just figuring out the matrix and who can get away with countless excuses. You kinda, have to be on your SH*T.

Hey there guys, I don’t know exactly how this works but I’m going to go with my instinct and say what I feel is right. My name is Miguel and I love to share my producer name DR33MR (Dreamer) with other people so they get to know my artist side.

When the kids laughed at your one sweatsuit outfit in the middle of summer, now you are showing others the way with your financial posts and how to earn online here on Vocal.

Whether you are homeless or in a small apartment, you can use an on sale tablet for $110 that you got from the way I've shown you. You can save money on a public library computer.

I’ve been playing football my entire life. I love everything about football, the bonds you make, the skills learned, and just hitting people hard to be completely honest. I knew from a very young age I wanted to play at the highest level I possible and based off my stats in high school I could potentially make it further than most.

We all want that dream house, perfect relationship and amazing career, however it doesn’t happen overnight and to some, maybe never. I want all those things too. We have a nice place, a farm to be exact. Is it my dream house? Not even close. I share a great relationship with my spouse, is it perfect? Hell no! We have our ups and downs like most everyone else. As for a career… I always wanted to be an author, publish something, be a New York Times Best Seller. Did it happen? Not a chance. Why am I telling you all this you ask? It’s because I am sure some of you are feeling what I have been feeling for a while. Stuck in life, worthless, useless and just existing, comfortable. Satisfied and sometimes unsatisfied with the way life turned out. Like my only soul purpose is to be a mom and a housewife. Of course I love having a purpose of teaching these tiny humans and keeping them safe amongst being depended on by a herd of farm animals, but I need more. I crave more. A bigger purpose.

My feet are tired, my back aches, and my legs shake from exhaustion, but I must continue forward. I must not stop. A warrior never admits defeat, for defeat is disgrace. Defeat, to a warrior, is the ultimate stain on the honor. If I stop, I must accept defeat. If I stop, I will defeat myself. This is the way of the warrior.
