Do Not Quit

by Vashte on January 31, 2012

What are your goals?

Business; career; financial; physical; spiritual; relationship… all of the above? The same rules apply.

DO NOT QUIT.

You only lose if you quit. Fighters are winners. You can fight with a loving heart too – revenge and anger do not work. They will only backfire; on you.  So listen to your heart and take your head with you.

Be smart.

Act in love and keep your wits about you.

Don’t be fooled into comparing yourself to the progress of others- keep your head down and keep working towards your personal goals. They are yours and were put in your heart for a reason.

For this season.

Pray.

To Jesus- I AM Christian so I say that.. Pray for wisdom over and above all things. Wisdom will produce your heart’s desires. There is no point being given your hearts desires if you have no wisdom. Without wisdom, you will lose all that you are given and have worked for in a flash.

Pray that your eyes of understanding be opened.

BE the tortoise, you don’t HAVE to be the hare.

A shooting star shines for but a moment, whereas a SHINING star shines bright and long.

Build roots with integrity. Your foundation is important. You know what happened to the man who built on sand… the man who builds on rock builds on solid foundation. He builds an empire and something worth holding onto. This takes time.

Don’t choose the short cuts. A short cut is the longest distance between two points. We have proven that time and time again in our own lives surely? There is ALWAYS a price to pay that far out ways the benefits a ‘shortcut’ will get you.

One step at a time and you CAN and you WILL reach your goals.

What is the rush? There is none. Today we are blessed more than any other time in history, in that we can reinvent ourselves at ANY given time and ANY given age in the Western world.

Understand that.

This is a poem sent to me via email that needs to be shared. It is written by ‘anonymous’ – someone just like you or me. Figure out that when the going gets tough, and you do NOT quit, results come. Please enjoy this poem as I have xxx:

Do Not Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit

Rest if you must, but do not quit!

For life is strange with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won if he’d stuck it out.

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit,

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit!

What inspires you in the morning?

by Vashte on January 19, 2012

When I wake to a view like this it is hard NOT to be thankful for where I live. Wouldn’t you agree? This is a small part of what inspires me to drag myself out of bed early in the morning to go for my walk whilst chatting to God or choosing Bikram Yoga at Sparrows Fart O’Clock ;)
Hearing the ocean crash on the sand all night long is a very peaceful way for me to sleep. It is So therapeutic. I choose to sleep with my doors wide open and let the sea air and sounds waft in all night long. I choose no  air-conditioning despite how muggy  it can get where I live.
Inspirationit is all an attitude, this is something we create ourselves.
This view is priceless to me, and yet, I know for a fact there are people who live all around me who don’t see my point of view. They choose to focus in on the negative, either through conditioning in life or allowing circumstances to get on top of them. They have the same opportunity to live a wealthy lifestyle without it costing an arm and a leg but you will hear them complain of the noise from the traffic, a siren every now and then, noisy (young) neighbours- ahem,-were they not young once also?, oh and don’t forget the obnoxious noise from the ocean!!!…The sun streams in too early, too bright, its too hot, too cold…
YOU choose my friends. YOU choose your inspiration and whether you have any in your life.
You don’t need millions of dollars to enjoy a view worth multimillions. This awesome world is at our fingertips; at our DOORSTEP so WAKEUP!! Get up and recharge your batteries with the inspiration from the world around us!!!
You may not live on the ocean but so what? I ask you: what is special about where YOU CHOOSE to live? Is it the quiet, safe cul-de-sac? The friendly neighbours? There must be something special about where you live.. or you WOULDNT LIVE THERE.
Here in Australia we have a huge amount of choice. MAKE your life enjoyable.
ITS UP TO YOU.
DONT COUNT THE DAYS. MAKE THE DAYS COUNT.
Bless you x
