One Step Forward
I'm Ashley. I am new to this blog life, but I am excited to be able to let out my emotions and tell my stories for people to hear. I am a mother of two handsome little boys, they are five and one years old. I am in love with their dad and have been for six years. We have had our ups and downs like any other relationship, but I am so happy that we have worked through everything and are better than ever. I love the life we are building together with our small little family. However, it has not come easy. Let me give you a little backstory on my life.
Ashley NicolePublished 6 years ago in MotivationThoughts of an Older Millennial
I'm a Millennial. I'm an older Millennial, but a Millennial none the less. Loved and spoiled by my parents, unused degrees, high student loan debt, no real savings and no retirement plan. Just a young (or somewhat young), adult barely getting by, trying to find their way in the world. I'm a part of the technology boom and education era; where technology changed the way we think and communicate, and going to school to get a degree and a good job was the plan. The problem with that is that it was the only plan. Yes, I was told to save money. "Always pay yourself" my mother would say. Of course, like most Millennials, I didn't exactly heed that advice. I wasn't capable of seeing the big picture. Unfortunately, even the concept of saving could not prepare me for what was and is to come.=

With all of the technology that is so readily available to us nowadays, it's easy to assume that life is significantly easier than in the past. This theory is particularly applied to teenagers, with adults saying that "They have it so easy now," and, "They never had all of that technology when they were young." But do we ever really stop to think about the negative side effects of this technology-focused upbringing? Yes, in a practical sense, life is easier for teenagers in today's world than it has been in the past, and technology has played a huge part in that. However, is the rise of technology having a psychological impact on young people, and, if so, why does it go over-looked?
Beatrice FaircloughPublished 6 years ago in Motivation9 Signs the Law of Attraction Is Working for You
Have you been attempting manifestation and seeing no results? You think the positive thoughts, you dream the big dreams, but you're still stuck in the normality of your reality. The Law of Attraction quite simply tells us that our thoughts, words, and actions attract energy in the same frequency field that we are projecting. So if you are thinking, "I want to manifest more money" but in the back of your mind you begin to think about how uncomfortable it is to lack money, payloads of bills, or to go without necessities, you've actually begun to manifest the negative as well. This is the work in consciousness. Being conscious of your thoughts, feelings, and reactions takes practice that is immensely powerful. Self-discipline by keeping your energy positive reaps immeasurable benefits and kicks your desires and manifestations into overdrive. Here are some signs that will reassure you that Law of Attraction is working in your favor.
Kristin WilsonPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe DNA of Greatness
I recently watched a documentary on Albert Einstein, and by recently I mean this morning. It was fascinating. Obviously, the main focus was on his achievements in theoretical physics like his papers on the photo-electric effect and, of course, general relativity. What I thought was interesting, though, was how they focused a lot on his character; i.e. who he was as a person. That got me thinking about the characteristics Einstein had that contributed to his greatness and if those can be quantified. Are there a collection of attributes that can be identified in people who change the world? Essentially, is there DNA to greatness?
Sebastien LacassePublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhat Do You Do When Your Life Is out of Your Control?
What Do You Do When Your Life Is Out of Control? I sat on the hard metal bench at the Greyhound bus station in tears. My 23 hours rode trip had just been extended by ten hours, and it wasn’t my fault. My bus from New York was two hours late arriving in Raleigh, and my connecting bus had long left the station. Probably fearing a verbal beat down from the 40 or so tired passengers arriving at the station. The two ticket agents on duty provided no comfort. They made little to no eye contact as we lined up to trade in our obsolete bus transfers and get new tickets.
Renee ReidPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhat It Means to Be Successful... in Life or As an Educator
Growing up, we always wondered how life would be as an adult. What career would we have? How would our families turn out? How might we view ourselves as successful people? I know that I have asked myself those questions about a million times. Although, the central issue that stands out to me is what it means to have success in life. Now, people may say that being successful means having the luxury of being rich and famous, having a high paying job, money, a big house, and fancy accessories; yet, people don’t realize that just having these things does not necessarily lead to happiness in life. It means something different to each one of us, and we are all striving for some form of it. For me, success means being able to accomplish my goals in life. It’s about getting the education that I deserve, finding the right career choice that will make me smile every day, having a family who I love and adore, and just being the person I believed I’d be when I grew up. Success is not all about the appearance. It is about the joys of working towards having a well-balanced life and striving for greatness.

Unwritten books, never reached potential, visions never manifested, etc. Where can all these places be found... a cemetery.
Shanon DeMoulinPublished 6 years ago in MotivationSuccessfully Failing
There is something fundamentally wrong with life today; when a person can have everything they always wanted and yet still feel like a failure in the eyes of society.
Skye BothmaPublished 6 years ago in MotivationTwists and Turns
Life is a whirlwind. It’s full of twists and turns. You have this idea how you want things to turn out, and you set all these dreams and goals for yourself, and it drives you crazy as you constantly think about them and you have all these questions—how to get there, how bad do you want it? What lengths will you go to make that dream to a reality? How little you’ve done to achieve those goals… You have all these ideas, but you have so freaking many and you have no idea where to start, and you know it’s impossible to achieve them all, so you make some sacrifices, for yourself.
