Hello everybody! Well, I think winter is starting to arrive. Brrrr. No more nice weather. Oh well. We're that much closer to spring, I guess.
Anyway, today I wanted to talk about some mottos I have that help me get through tougher times. I think they would for everybody. I try to think about these words as often as I can. Sometimes it's hard though,. Sometimes, you get so down in the dumps and you think you can't get yourself out. You should always be able to though, for there is always a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. You might have to look a little longer for it, but you will find it eventually. Here are my top eight motto's thatI use to help me find my "Pot of Gold." I hope they help you find yours as well.
1. Can I Try That?- I always like to try new things. Whenever I see someone do something that I think I could do, or that I would really like to be able to do, I get a feeling inside me that says I just have to try it to. I believe everybody should try everything at least once. If you don't try new things, than you never know what your good at. Also, if you don't try something the first time, it might be too late to try again. Then,. you'll feel bad, because you wished you did try it. I hate that feeling. So, to stop feeling that way, just try everything. It will make you feel good, and when you try it, it will make for one more thing that you can check off your bucket list
2. Life is a Highway- Living your life is like driving on a long highway. You have to keep driving, even if you don't know exactly where you'll end up. I like to think of my future as a big surprise that waiting for me at the end of the road. I have some ideas of what I want to do when I get out of high school, but I don't have any ideas set imn stone yet. I don't have a crystal ball to tell me what the rest of my life will be like. Some days that scares me, but other days, it gets me really excited. I'm excited for the unknown. I know that there will be some bumps in the roads, and twists and turns, and storms to drive though. I'll just have to be prepared for that. We all will. If we don't go through the rough spots, we might not be able to get where we want to be. We need to drive through the storms, so we can reach the sunshine at end, and we need to enjoy the adventure along the way. It's a lot to think about, I know. We can do it though. We just need to take it one step at a time
3. Where There's a Will, There's a way- I think of this saying whenever I'm struggling with something. I never like to completely give up on something. I like to look at all my options. I'll make a plan and if it doesn't work, I goto plan two. If plan two fails I go to plan three and on and on until I either work out my problem or until I get tired. If I get to tired, then I just put it out of my mind until tomorrow. Sometimes I get frustrated and I dwell on the fact that my plan didn't work. I shouldn't dwell on it too much though, because, like I said, "Where there's a will, there is a way."
4. It Always Works Out- This motto ties into motto number tree. My mom says this one all the time. Whenever I get frustrated that something isn't going right, she comes over to me and says "Don't worry Kate. It always works out." I have started to say it myself. Whenever I'm stressed out or a bind, I try to calm down and say to myself "It always works out. It usually does, and if it doesn't I'll probably end up going in a diffrent direction that I was meant to go in. Everything happens for a reason, so if didn't work out, it will probably lead to something better. It'll work out. It always does.
5. However Bad You Think You Have It, Somebody Always Has it Ten Times Worse-This one comes back to me all the tme. I am always being reminded of how much I have. I've met so many others who have diversabilities, and a lot have challenges are greater than mine. I'm thankful I am able to walk and am able to be so independent. Some people aren't as mobile as me. Some people, even without having diversabillies, have great obstacles to come over as well. Not all challenges are visible. We should always be thankful for what we have, because even if we have it really rough, we have to remember that it could always be worse.
6. I think I can. I think I can.- I believe that anything is possible. We can set our minds to do anything if we believe in ourselves. Too often, we put off doing something, because we are so certain that we can't do it. Most of the time though, we can. We may have to adapt it a little bit,or get taught to do it a different way, but we can do it. Even if it doesn't work out for us, all that matters is that wetried. Try not to be too disappointed. If you can't do one thing, just think of something else you might want to try. Trying new things will get you a long way in life. Go ahead. You can do anything if you just give it a try.
7. Don't Stop Belivin'- You have to believe. You have to believe in yourself. You have to believe in happy endings, and you have to believe to others. I know for certain that I wouldn't be where I am today if my family and all of my friends hadn't belived that I would get here. There is no way that I would get to do any of the cool stuff I've done if people didn't believe in me. People who belive in me keep me believing in myself. Good things can happen. They happen all the time. You just have to be patient, be humble, and you have to BELIEVE
8. Never Give Up- You all know what I have to say about this one. You should never give up. No matter how tough a situation is, you just have to keep weathering the storm. If you are strong enough, you can overcome anything. Don't give up. You never know whats around the corner. If you keep going and conquer the barrier thats in front of you, it could lead you to yor next great adventure
So, there are some of my motto's, or favorite sayings. I try to think about them whenever I'm having tough times or I'm in a bind. I hope I gave you some words of wisdom and that they will help you trudge through any path you choose to go in. Have a great night, and talk to you soon.
