The Key To Being Successful
By: Rochelle Lusara
My Reaction To Failure
Are you feeling like a failure in your life right now and you feel like you're not getting anywhere? Hold your head up sis because you can get back on your feet and try again. Even in your lowest of hopes, just keep your head up just to make it through. First of all, failure is what helps you to learn from your mistakes until you get it right. Giving up may be an option but that's not going to get you anywhere. You may have failed a test, you may not have a chance to go to college, your car broke down in the middle of the road, etc. but if you just try hard then things will turn out better for you. You're probably at the point where you're critically ill or that your life is about to end while your significant other is cheating on you or whatever. As bad as it may seem, it's all about living for the good moments and congratulating yourself for everything that you've overcome your entire
life. The definition of failure is “lack of success.” The key word here is “lack.” This means that every time you make a mistake, it doesn't mean that there was absolutely no success put into it (unless you didn’t try). You have to think of other options to reach success. Go for plan A. If plan A didn’t work, go for plan B and if that doesn’t work either, keep going for all the alphabets until you get it right. People always say that the first attempt is always the hardest and that’s a fact. The first attempt is all about learning. You never know what life may lead you to if you keep trying and going. You can end up working for the career you’ve always. If you quit and say “I’m not doing this anymore,” then you’re never going to live and follow your dreams. Everyone makes mistakes anyways. It’s a part of life. If you work to make it, you can end up being a huge influence to the world and be a role model to millions and millions of people. For me, I never give up. I keep on going. I may feel tired at times but I won’t let that stop me from getting my education and finishing college. Therefore, you should be like me because i’m full of motivation and i’m preparing for my future. You should never feel like a failure. You’re not just a human being. You’re a multitasking, fast thinking, hard working killing machine. You’re an individual who’s starting to see what the world is really like and how life is leading you to a journey. You just have to find the ways life may be leading you and you have to choose the right directions to end up in the right place. Learning is an adventure and the more you learn, the more comfortable you get when you’re finishing a task. Forget all of those people who are trying to bring you down. Forget all those people who say you won’t make it because I know you can win on The Voice when you audition there (if you’re planning to).
Rules To Better Your Life And Yourself
Step 1: Focus On Self Care
Get more sleep, write about your problems on paper, clean your room, etc. You deserve better. You shouldn't be worrying about temporary problems and you should start dealing with them by expressing how you feel in like, a diary or something. Don't forget to clean your bedroom and anywhere where you made a mess on because cleanliness is next to godliness. If you want to start working on new years resolutions, this is a really great tip for you.

Step 2: Write A To-Do-List
In order to get things done and done faster is to write a To Do List. There are days where we forget to do something like, organize your book shelf, go to a restaurant where you've always wanted to go to, buy something that you've been wanting lately, etc and then we wait for 2 weeks to actually do it or however long you've waited. Plus, you probably sat in your couch, all bored, not knowing what to do when you've could've done something from you "to do list."

This is a great idea for keeping you life together.
Step 3: Learn How To Budget
This is an important step for making a new resolution because it'll help you in the future when you gotta pay for college, a new apartment, your bills when you grow up and whatever. Saving money is an important thing and it'll help you become more capable in taking responsibilities.

Step 4: Spend Less Time On Your Phone
You need to break that addiction that you got with your phone and focus on the most important things in life. If you're on your phone a lot of times just to look on social media and not because you're looking for a new job on your phone, applying to colleges or something that doesn't have to do with your future career, I don't wanna hear it. It's okay to spend time on your phone once in a while but letting it distract you on important events is not a good thing. You need to go out in the real world and spend less time on your phone.

Step 5: Take Risks
I saved the best one for last. Sis, go and ask him out. Stop being scared to do something and do it because if you're just lying around, you're never gonna get anywhere. If you wanna get with somebody, tell them. If you wanna go skydiving, go for it. If you wanna learn a new skill such as singing, learning how to play a new sport or whatever it may be, that's even more perfect. Just remember that the more you take risks, the more amazing things will happen in your life ❤
Sometimes when you take risks, things don't turn out how you wanted it to be but don't let that discourage you. Just learn from it and try again. Sometimes, good things happen.
New Rules
1. Hang Out And Party As Much As You Can
Another key to be happy and to make your life better is to go to more parties, hang out with friends and meet new people.

2. Take Responsibility Of Your Education
Take responsibility of your school work by handing assignments on time and completing your school work with effort. If you do this, you'll feel better about yourself and you'll have a good future ahead of you. Trying your best in school is a way to start off the new year even though you should've been doing this your whole life.

3. Eat Healthy
There's nothing wrong in trying out new foods. Trying out new foods is a great discovery but eating healthy is another way to make 2019 the best year you've had so far. Try to change your diet to better your health by eating more fruits and veggies. In that way, you'll feel less tired and more energetic when working. Changing your diet to better your health should always be something to do every year anyways. You wanna live longer? Then go eat fruits and vegetables more often.

4. Less Talking, More Listening
We've all had times when we get into an argument and you just couldn't help to stop talking back. However, if you want to improve yourself this new year, you have to put yourself in other people's shoes and try to understand their point of view instead of being entitled. There are times when you may be in the wrong so you have to open your mind and listen to what the other person is telling you. Life is too short to be mad over something that you may have misunderstood.

5. Believe In Yourself
The most important thing for your new years resolution is to believe in yourself. Believe that you can overcome obstacles. Believe that you can past that test. Believe that you can become a famous singer (if that's your career choice but regardless what career you want, believe you can become it). Remember that failures are the beginnings of success.
What Not To Do
1. Don't Waste Your Money
We all know this. I know you've heard it before and you know you have to learn how to save your dollars if you know you're broke because in the future especially if you're a teenager, you gotta save that cash for college, a new house, etc. It's okay to buy whatever you want at times but you can't be splurging often. When you grow up, you also gotta spend your dollars on your kids (if you want kids in the future).
This is a very important thing to do for the new year but I hope you've been doing this your whole life or for a really long time at least. If you always let your emotions control the things you do in life then listen up. You probably ended up in jail, lost friends, been in way too many fights because you let your anger control you. I'm not saying you've done all of them but you were probably in a really bad situation because you've done something that wasn't smart since you were angry. Do not do that because that prevents you from having a great future. 2. Don't Let Your Anger Control You
3. Don't Procrastinate
You better not do this and if you've been procrastinating for a really long time, you need to stop. You need to learn how to manage your time and not do school work in the last minute because you'll end up making mistakes in your school work and you rushed through it. Doing this leads to a bad grade. Not only that, if you've been lying around and chilling, playing video games or whatever when you got work to do, then you need to stop it. Procrastinating is not a good thing and it's just a waste of time.
4. Don't Drink And Drive
