Don’t Quit! Keep Going!

Do you sometimes feel like packing it in. No point. No one is listening, reading or paying any attention. I do. I have had many moments where I have just wanted to step back and to stop for a bit. However I have invested so much into my work and what I am building. My blog, my ideas and future products that I would love to develop.

Yes always creating and dreaming. Although like everyone self doubt and life sometimes make things difficult to keep on going. Does this happen to you?

Keep going even if you want to quit. You will get there!

This post is for all of you that are thinking of calling it quits.

Don’t!

Keep on going.

Things will happen. It might not be the millions of dollars you would like to earn, or the dream job that you would love to get. However what you are doing will lead you to the next great thing. If you are working at your craft or blog at home it is a skill that you can use to leverage to the next step.

 

Make things happen yourself.
Make things happen yourself.

It is also your outlet.

Without an outlet to express yourself and just be you, it is hard to be happy. Everyone needs something that they feel happy doing. A hobby, a passion an outlet to just be you!

If you are like me a SAHM (Stay at home mum) having an outlet and something for me is needed. I cannot give it up.

It is mine and you never know where your passion might take you.  Keep going! You are great and don’t listen to others comments. Just keep plodding along.

Just give things a go. If you try something you might be good at it and it will all work out. You never know until you try!

What is your passion? Do you have a blog? Are you secretly writing a book? Do you make clothes or do you paint?

Have you had moments where you thought it is all pointless but you have kept on going? Let us know.

Be Led By Dreams

Do you ever have times where things get on top of you? The housework, kids, life and everything else! Currently I have a lot of things to do and don’t know where to start. I am seeing issues and problems everywhere I look, sit or even lie down there are problems! Due to looking at all the problems it is causing me to get angry and more stressed about the situation. Not good is it? No not at all.

Deep breath! AHHHH focusing on your breathing does help make you feel better. Oh and a camomile tea is needed!

I have so many dreams and things I wish to achieve but feel weighed down in the mundane and don’t get a lot done. Today’s wisdom is to focus on my dreams rather than being fixated on my problems. I will aim to work through one issue at a time and be calmer in the process. Harder said than done but this is my aim.

Be led by your dreams. Yes I need to think more like this! Image from Pinterest.

Do you see things that need doing and feel overwhelmed by it all? I know this happens to me. I will try and do one room at a time, and this in turn will give me more clarity to achieve my dreams.

I hope this has inspired you to follow your dreams and not let your problems overshadow your day and focus. Okay, now off to tidy up so that I can then live my dreams.

Looking At Things Differently

The other day one of my girls asked what fog was again. I replied saying, “It is low lying cloud” Both girls said, Oh yes that’s right it is cloud. We forgot!

One of the girls then said the following:

“That fog is lazy mummy! It does not want to go into the sky and would rather be on the ground! Lazy Fog!”

Maybe she is right? Fog could be the lazy clouds that want to lie about and do nothing? The clouds that are in the sky are achievers and go getters? Maybe the clouds that are fog are just taking a well deserved break? Everyone needs time out don’t you think? This announcement that their is lazy fog made us all giggle and laugh for a while. It was a very funny moment.

Have you had moments that you have looked at things differently? The child who told me about the lazy clouds asked if she was right. I did not have the heart to tell her that her theory might not be 100% and thought it was a clever way to explain it.

What has changed your thinking or view on things? Was it something your little ones said? Or your partner/friends. Let us know.
