30 Journal Entries to Self Discovery—Day 25

The Houses of the Zodiac: House #4
Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

For When Everything Falls Apart
Have you ever felt like you had your whole life together? Hook, line, and sinker, 'I'm gonna be a neuroscientist, and marry Ryan Gosling and tame his wild soul, and vacation in those huts on the water that have been in every vacation movie in the last decade. You put yourself into the med school, move to L.A. to find your man, and save street change and waitressing tips to go to Bora Bora.'

Who Says I'm Not Good Enough? Oh, Right—I Do
It's Sunday morning and so far I'm the only one in my house who's awake. I'm enjoying my coffee and the peace and quiet - or I'm trying to, anyways. The truth is, underneath that early Sunday stillness, there still exists that voice. The one I've been trying to satisfy for as long as I can remember.

Help! I Don’t Think I’m an Adult
Are you required to have a job to be a grown up? When you think of an adult, what do you see? I see someone with a briefcase. I don't know why that's the first image that pops into my head, but society has conditioned us to connect things together, and that's what I connect. It's no secret that society has expectations for what people need to be. A briefcase is linked to a career, which you need to have if you're an adult. I guess I expect someone that is an adult to have a house, a job, a family, and have it all figured out. What if your life isn't stereotypical?

My Other World
There is nothing like that feeling of first seeing those waves. The feeling of awe, that longing to stay forever. The sound that soothes your soul. No therapy session can touch what this place does to me. My most difficult days are washed away and left at shore.

Help Me
Day in a day out we ask ourselves, what are the 10 ways to be successful, what are the 5 ways to be beautiful, what are the 7 ways to be a millionaire? Everything is about me, myself and I. Why don't you sometimes try this, what are the 4 steps to help the person next to me live his dream, what are the 7 steps to impact, inspire, and put a smile on the person's face? Statistics shows that 90% of successful people are still not happy; this is because fulfillment comes from helping the one next to you. This is why some rich people tend to give back to society. Generosity is a way of helping others without expecting anything in return. Generosity is not an equation, like I helped you out so he also should hold me down. Not all of us have money or other resources to help others, but our time, love, and assistance to others can mean a lot and can be worth more than money. It doesn't take only money or sophisticated resources to impact, inspire, and put a smile on people's face.

30 Journal Entries to Self Discovery - Day 24
Hey guys! Welcome to day twenty-four. I'm kind of sad that we're on our last week. This has actually been a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed talking to all of you. Anyway, I hope you will continue to write and here is a quote to keep you motivated to write by another amazing writer: "Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish. Lose track of the 400 pages and write just one page each day, it helps. Then when it gets finished, you are always surprised." - John Steinbeck

Find Your Strength
Where does strength come from? How can we obtain it? I always used to ask myself those questions. Always wondering why I was not strong enough, mentally. It felt like the world was against me, and I was alone, tarnishing away. I didn't have a clue how to become strong, but one day I had enough.
