10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Giving Up on Your Dream
1. Why did you want to pursue this goal to begin with—and has anything changed?
2. Have you been operating with too much information?
3. Did you set a smart goal? SMART goals are:
* Specific—you know exactly what your world will look like when you achieve this goal.
* Measurable—you have a specific plan to mark your progress as you go.
* Attainable—you have the attitude and aptitude to make your goal reality.
* Realistic—you’re willing and able to do the required work.
* Time-bound—you’ve set a concrete timeframe for completion to create a sense of urgency.
4. What’s the worst that will happen if you keep going and don’t reach your goal?
5. Are you afraid of succeeding?
6. Are you acting on impulse or emotion instead of thinking things through?
7. Would you enjoy giving a loved one the honest explanation for why you gave up?
8. Would your life be better if you gave up on this goal?
9. How much have you already put in?
10. What would you tell someone else if they were in your shoes?

Only rapists can prevent rape:
Reblogged from katoleary, who reblogged from lickystickypickyme:
A lot has been said about how to prevent rape. Women should learn self-defense. Women should lock themselves in their houses after dark. Women shouldn’t have long hair and women shouldn’t wear short skirts. Women shouldn’t leave drinks unattended. Fuck, they shouldn’t dare to get drunk at all. Instead of that bullshit, how about:
- If a woman is drunk, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is walking alone at night, don’t rape her.
- If a women is drugged and unconscious, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is wearing a short skirt, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is jogging in a park at 5 am, don’t rape her.
- If a woman looks like your ex-girlfriend you’re still hung up on, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is asleep in her bed, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is asleep in your bed, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is doing her laundry, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is in a coma, don’t rape her.
- If a woman changes her mind in the middle of or about a particular activity, don’t rape her.
- If a woman has repeatedly refused a certain activity, don’t rape her.
- If a woman is not yet a woman, but a child, don’t rape her.
- If your girlfriend or wife is not in the mood, don’t rape her.
- If your step-daughter is watching TV, don’t rape her.
- If you break into a house and find a woman there, don’t rape her. (ed note: Better yet, don’t break into the house either.)
- If your friend thinks it’s okay to rape someone, tell him it’s not, and that he’s not your friend.
- If your “friend” tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
- If your frat-brother or another guy at the party tells you there’s an unconscious woman upstairs and it’s your turn, don’t rape her, call the police and tell the guy he’s a rapist.
- Tell your sons, god-sons, nephews, grandsons, sons of friends it’s not okay to rape someone.
- Don’t tell your women friends how to be safe and avoid rape.
- Don’t imply that she could have avoided it if she’d only done/not done x.
- Don’t imply that it’s in any way her fault.
- Don’t let silence imply agreement when someone tells you he “got some” with the drunk girl.
Note:
This goes for any gendered rape, male on female or female on male or female on female or FTM on MTF or non gendered to dual gendered and so on and so forth….

“ 1. Write down what you usually do
2. Brainstorm some things that you don’t usually do because (fill in the blank):
* I don’t spend money on advertising because PR is better
* I never go into any debt at all because who knows what tomorrow will bring
* I only spend money on my art supplies because (well, who needs an excuse for art supplies?)
3. Pick one of the above and journal about how your life would look if you did that something you don’t usually do. Be creative with how it would look. Give yourself a budget and go “spend” it and think about how it might shift your outlook.
4. Identify the walls of your box (you will know them immediately - the minute you think outside your box, the voices that tell you that want you want is silly, impossible, etc., will start up. That is your box)
5. Write down the walls of your box (all the voices and what they’re saying).
6. Light a candle, take a deep breath or two and burn the walls of your box. As you breathe out, bless the old ways that once helped you. As you breathe in say a prayer of gratitude for this opportunity to think bigger.
7. Pick one thing you could do that would move you closer to changing what you usually do.
8. Do it.
9. Repeat (okay, if you’ve read this blog at all before you know I’m big on giving something extra, so today you get 9 ways instead of 8).
