#Openthoughts - You can do it

Have you ever given yourself an excuse as to why you can't do something? Have you ever said to yourself it's too hard for me..........?
If you have then you are not alone. Many people give themselves a reason as to why something can't be done.

There's a scripture in the bible which is one that we abide to daily -

Philippians 4:13 -  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

This lets me know that all things are possible so all those pre-conceived ideas as to why something can't be done is just a figment of my imagination. So, ask yourself again. Do you have any reason as to why something can't be done.

We have often found out that when we give ourself excuses we put limits on our ability so when you say things like "I can't", "It won't happen" or "I don't think I can" we are actually programming our mind to only work to a certain level and then stop.

If you can programme your mind by saying things such as "I can do it", "I am able to do it" then everything becomes a possibility. All the barriers you once thought were impossible to shift will no longer look impossible, all the things you thought that you couldn't do, you will now be able to do them. It's definitely worked for us in a number of ways.
When you declare you can and you will, you will find that you will actually begin to start doing those things i.e. Someone says I can swim 50 metres. Once they get to 50 metres, that fear has now gone and they will go further and further.

The thing that stops us is our ability to 'Do it'. You won't know you can do something until you actually do it, you won't know you can do something until you step out the comfort zone, you won't know you can do something until you enlarge your mindset and expand your thinking.

Your mouth can speak life and death to a situation. What you say can either have a positive or negative effect. Choose your words wisely

You also need to check your circle around you. Are they encouraging you to great and mighty things? Are they a constant source of encouragement? Are they providing support?
For you to achieve something, you need people who can see that you can do it and are willing to encourage you and support you.

As you read this I want you to declare this to yourself everyday

I Can
I will
I am able
Nothing is too hard for me
I am willing to try

Stay blessed

Fragrance Delight - My Search for a Fragrance Kit

Hey everyone, how you all doing. As I write this, it's looking like a very grey day. Things must go on so, recently, I started to look for a new fragrance kit. 
I approached Lynx and because they were promoting some new products, they sent me some to try out. 
I received some hair gel, some deodorant and some deodorant spray. 
The spray has a very distinctive smell, a very nice distinctive smell. It was one that got me hooked from the first time I put it on. It's small but very powerful. This is a contender to my included in my everyday fragrance kit but the search goes on. I would give it a 8/10 

I was very impressed with how the hair gel made my hair feel. It left my hair feeling rather soft which is something that I crave. 

So my quest went a step further which resulted in me being sent a new cologne by Etat Libre D'Orange. The excitement before the delivery was very real. When it reached my house, my eyes were drawn to the design, very simple but detailed. 
As you would imagine, when I tried some for the very first time, I was very impressed. I fell in love straight away, the scent was one that lasted quite a while. If you are like me, there would be some caution when trying a new aftershave or perfume but this time, I was open to trying a new aftershave and as a result I have been left feeling very positive my next purchase from them. 

On the other hand, I will admit that my search for a fragrance kit carries on. 

So, I will provide an update next week on my search for a new fragrance kit. Until then, ciao.
