A reminder for us all...Section 1

Hey everyone!

For those who have been reading this blog over the last few weeks, I've been giving out some words of wisdom (or at least I hope they are) on how to get the most out of life.

This week however, I want to do something a little different... I want to give you a reminder that I want you to look at every day- especially during those times you are feeling down or struggling with life.

So here it goes... A little reminder for us all...

• You are made in the image and likeness of God- exactly as he wanted you to be.
• You were made to take what God has given you, your gifts, talents and personality to make the world a better place- so go out there and do it.
• You will face obstacles along the way- but so does every saint, athlete, inventor and important person in this world- even Jesus did- the key is to keep going through those.
• You are worthy of everything that you set your heart on because you are a child of God.
• There's no amount of money, fame or material goods that can match the love that God can give us.
• That love is shortly followed by the love we share with others. If you're feeling down, go do something for someone else, guarantee it'll brighten your day.
• In saying this, sometimes people won't appreciate immediately what you do, or appreciate it at all. In those times, it's important to remember we do this not for our own self satisfaction, but to make the world a better place.
• God sees everything that you do, and will reward you in his time for it.
• You aren't called to change everything- but you are called to ensure you make every moment you live count.
• There's always going to be someone who seems to have it better than you. Thing is though, they still have struggles and challenges, they're human after all.
• Together we make a greater difference-individually we can do great things, but when we set aside wanting to win and instead focus on achieving the goals at hand, we can allow others in and they're talents and gifts and help us achieve greatness.
• And of course, no matter where you are and no matter how challenging, saddening or tough life is, there's always something to smile about. Find that thing and focus on it. Also make sure you're doing things you love during the tough times, so that your mind is focused on the positive.

We all have challenges- it's what we do about them that will enable us to have life to the fullest- case in point, Kid President- the 10 year old who has a brittle bone condition but has managed to still change lives in the process. I think it's best to leave the parting words to him on this one- till next time :)
