Being Afraid… STOP IT! =)

Stop being afraid about what could go wrong, and start being positive about what could go right!

Do you have a goal, a dream, something you want to work towards? Someone you want to talk to? Something that needs to be done? Go Do It!

You know, so many people never achieve what they want to in life, because they are afraid of the outcomes, afraid of what might happen, afraid of what others may think.

If you want something, GO GET IT! =) There is NO POINT waiting around, hoping that it will happen to you. Because if you want something to happen, you need to get off your butt and make it happen! Dont be scared of what could go wrong, because if you put it in perspective, just as things may go wrong, they also may go right!

If you try something once, and you fail, get back up! Don’t be knocked down, because in life, you can always have a second shot if you set your mind to it!

FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE! That is the main thing in everything! Seriously, if you sit always thinking about the negative things, you will lead a VERY sad life my friend!

Take a shot! And think… Whats the worst that can happen? And then think, what is the best that can happen? And I tell you, the BEST thing will FAR outweigh the negatives!

The Impact of People

There are people that wander into your life from all sides. There are people you have known forever, and those who you have only known a short time.

Now, Im not saying this is the case ALL of the time, but often people who have been in your life for a short time can have the biggest impact.

Take notice today of the special people in your life, those old AND new, and dont forget the positive impact that they have had on you!

Nobody is going to hold me down!

Hey you!

Today, I have been thinking about the influence of negative people on your life.
There are many a quote about others influence on your life, and many wise people have had things to say about it. So here is where I chip in!

Has someone ever told you that you are not smart enough, strong enough, fit enough, pretty enough, happy enough, realistic enough?
It really ruins you, and knocks you down pretty hard.

Has anyone ever accused you of something you didnt do. Has anyone ever told you you aren’t worth it. Has anyone ever nastily questioned your actions?
It hits you hard, and forces negative thoughts into your head.

Has someone always tried to knock you down, kill your positive attitude and wipe your smile? It makes you feel defeated, attacked and disliked.

Has someone ever told you that you cant?
You know what?
You need to stand up tall, and just say “Watch Me!”
You need to tell them that they need to watch you fly, watch you soar, watch you fulfill your dreams and prove them wrong. You need to show everyone that’s ever told you “no” that YOU are capable of anything.

Dont let negative people get to your head. Dont let what others say define you, or let you lose sight of your dreams. YOU and you alone are in control of your dreams, and in control of your life. DONT let someone who doesnt matter get any unnecessary attention in your life.

Theres a saying:
“Those who matter, dont mind, those who mind dont matter“
So chin up! If those people who are set out to knock you back from the beginning dont matter to you in your life, then dont let what they think affect you!
YOU are stronger and better than them, and you have the willpower to resist their negative poking.

It feels so good to finally be able to say that you did it and to turn around to ALL those people who told you that you couldn’t and say “I DID!” It feels so good to prove to yourself that you can do anything you set your mind to. It feels so good to show everyone around you are strong you are.

So today, dont let what others say define you, because in the end, you are the one who will come out on top, when you set about achieving your goals, and the negative people are still there nagging, and trying to rip others down from theirs.

YOU CAN DO IT!!
impossible is nothing xx

I think this picture sums everything up so well!

He Cares For You

You can let go of your fears. In fact, it is imperative that you do because your worries impede you from enjoying your life.
Today, cast all your cares – the anxieties, doubts, all the things that distract, irritate and drive you crazy – upon Jesus, the one who made you and cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7 – Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you.

For once and for all. give each one – from least to greatest to Him so he can carry them for you!

Allow Him to care for you, everything that concerns or has an effect on you. He loves you greatly, an dhe will faithfully handle everything better than you could ever hope to.

Give your worries to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will never let good people down.

Take comfort in these words today. If you are not a Christian, I encourage you to think this over.
There is someone who can wipe your tears and take away your stress and worries. I have experienced this in my life, and I KNOW for sure that it happens!

Have a great night x

For my Mum

When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you make my favorite dinner for me,
and I knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I heard you say a prayer,
and I believed there is a God I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight,
and I felt loved.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw tears come from your eyes,
and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it’s all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw that you cared
and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I looked…
and wanted to say thanks for all the things
I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking.

Tomorrow is Mothers Day here in NZ. Do you have that overseas?
I want to say a very huge HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to my mummy, she is amazing

Lessons From The Sparrow

So, I had a pretty clear ‘God’ – moment this afternoon while I was walking to my friends house. Now, dont stop reading because I’ve said the ‘G’ word. There is a truly valuable lesson in this.
I was thinking, and I came across a sparrow. Dead. Lying peacefully on the sidewalk. And it made me think of this verse in the bible.
“What is the price of two sparrows–one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.” – Matthew 10:29

I have been reverting slightly to my old habits of worrying recently. Not drastically, but a little bit. And this sparrow on the sidewalk, was just a little prompting from God saying “Hey Kiri, you are worth SO much more to me than a sparrow, and get this, I know exactly when a single sparrow falls to the ground. So surely, I am looking after you and watching over everything you do, right? Trust me, because I know what I am doing. You dont need to worry, because I see today, I see tomorrow, I see ten years in the future, and I know exactly what you are facing, and what you are going through RIGHT now. Come to me child, rest in me, I will give you the peace you so eagerly seek. Quieten your mind, listen to My voice.”

So yeah, thats it, I hope it has encouraged you!
YOU are worth so much to God. So much more than the sparrows he so tenderly takes care of. HE will take care of YOU too!

Out of the Deep

Excerpt from something I read today:

Difficult days come unexpectedly – like a flood. You cannot plan for them; neither can you prepare for how they affect you. Though outside, unexpected forces may be their cause, they mainly come through the common things of life. It is the abundance of small, daily problems that can inundate your soul.
Even as the waters of adversity rage, remember that God is your great lifeguard and that he is able to rescue you. Turn each problem – each drowning drop of difficulty – over to him. Surely he will lift you out of the overwhelming waters and bring you out to a spacious place where you can breathe.

Is that encouraging or what? Man alive, I felt so blessed when I read that and I hope you do too xx
