It's never easy to step out of your comfort zone and take risks but with risk often comes great reward. But how does one know which risks to take and which to avoid? To reach one's goals and dreams, one must first determine what it is they want... what's the goal? Once you have that goal in mind, determine what it's going to take to achieve that goal. Make a list of pros and cons, and make sure you are willing to put in the effort and take the necessary risks to achieve your goal. It's also important to have a good support system in your life. Those who will support you in your journey. Those who will tell you the truth, no matter what that truth may be. These people may be family, friends o

Girls Who Stay Single For Large Gaps Of Time Actually End Up The Happiest You see it everywhere, TV, the movies, even just walking down the street. Society would like to have us think that we need to be in a relationship in order to be happy. On the contrary, the happiest girls are the ones who have learned how to be happy on their own. They are self-sufficient, independent, strong willed, and comfortable in their own skin. They don't need to be in a relationship in order to find happiness.

Honestly, I seldom listen to music in the car unless to keep myself awake on a long drive. I enjoy the quiet time to think. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy spending time with my friends. In fact, I used to dread being alone. I always wanted to be out doing s

10 Things That Define A Girl With A Wild Heart Tell me I can't do something and I'll probably prove you wrong. That's how I became a Firefighter/EMT. Someone once told me "oh, you can't do that..."

Why Women Need Their Girlfriends It wasn't until well into my 30's that I began to realize how important my girlfriends were to me. It took moving to a new town and going through a divorce to realize, I needed and longed for my girlfriends. Growing up I had a couple close girlfriends but the majority of my friends were "the guys." It was always easier for me to make friends with boys. When I was a young girl, I wasn't interested in playing dress-up or with dolls. I preferred sports and playing outside in the mud.
