Aspire to great things, so that even if you don’t land on the mark, you will not be far behind.
When every little issue looks like a big problem in your eye, it becomes a mountain in your mind
Worry has never been known to solve a problem. It only doubles it: The problem and worry. View problems with the mindset of ‘what is the possible solution?’
A talent used is a talent surely multiplied. Find yours, use it and it appreciates.
To change is definitely not easy, but to stay on the wrong path is riddled with heartache and only elongates the journey back to the right track.

Thank you Diane. I am also a worrier, but I am learning how to channel my thoughts better and it’s really wonderful to be able to get a grip on it.

Blogging them out helps a whole lot Sarah. It really helps. You see, you didn’t think you could write all that stuff but you started and it’s showing. I can’t even imagine stopping.

So many wise words, but two I especially liked (maybe not your exact words that I reflect here) a problem made bigger in the eye becomes a mountain in the mind – and I especially liked the idea of aiming for something big and if you don’t make the mark you won’t be far behind 🙂

I have been truly blessed by our creator both in natural proclivity and by way of His revelation and victory that I’ve been granted! I was never a worrier. If I can do something about a problem, then I will work on it, if it’s beyond my control, I pray about it and put it out of my mind. I have also personally learned the meaning of the passage that He is strong in our weakness as He has allowed me to gain victory in a few areas of my life that I struggled with mightily before He stepped in and lifted me up!
