Thought of the Day 23/03/13

Loving posting a quote of the day!
Here is the one I chose for 23/03/13 ... a bit of a funny one from Grey's Anatomy Series One.
"Oh my God, you're falling for him! ... you poor girl"

I think every person has felt this at some time. Either as the friend or as the person falling. It isn't always wanted when you start falling - which is always exciting and exhilarating.. but sometimes you may have made a decision within yourself to be single for awhile, to just BE. To do your own thing, march to the beat of your own drum if you will. What is that saying? Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans? Yeahhh..

So you start to fall, go with it. Maybe it is meant to be - or at least will be a fabulous adventure, or maybe... it won't. He might stop texting or calling, seem distant or the connection you thought was there fizzles. That is OK. Try not to take it too internally or personally.... more often then not it is less about something you 'have done' and more about the other person.

What happens after you fall for someone has the potential to be the greatest and the worst moments... the beauty is, you just don't know which it will be until you have fallen.

Thought of the day 21/03/13

This is a new idea that I have had. I used to post a quote a day onto my facebook feed and found my friends really enjoyed it. I would often get facebook messages about them. I have decided to add this element to Kooklah, and upload a quote a day.

21.03.13 Here is a quote that sums up what I am thinking and feeling right now...

I love this quote. It is so true. You have one shot, one chance at life. Do not waste it by getting caught up in all the negatives, all the set backs and bad times. Instead use these moments to light your fire - you know the one that spurs you on and motivates you to change, experience, explore and take risks.

No one knows exactly how their life will pan out. When I read this quote it makes me feel like anything is possible, that I can achieve anything. You know what? I CAN. If I really want to do something, I can make it happen - you can too.

Don't let fears hold you back from what could be some of the most amazing and important aspects of your life. Make sure you grab life in both hands and create your own adventure, push your boundaries and make yourself leap out of your comfort zones.

I can tell you one thing. It will be worth it. Right now, I feel like the world if mine for the taking and I plan on jumping in and making the most of it.

My Motivation..

I have a quote that is absolutley my favourite. It gives me hope, inspires me and motivates me to keep moving forward (no matter how little or big the steps) and participating in life. The quote is:

This quote has helped me during some really dark times, when I have struggled with faith, hope or identity. Allowing me to stop and breathe, to realise that no matter what life throws at you, it will be ok. It has to.

As Will said to Grace, your story doesn't end here if it is meant to have a happy ending.

I don't believe everything is pre-determined by fate, we have the ability to make choices and decisions which ultimatley work to shape not only our experiences but the person we are and the kind of person others percieve us to be. YOU can still make a change, or improve your outlook. So you are having a bad day, it doesn't have to mean that you have a bad life.

Try it the next time you feel like all hope is lost,

"Everything will be okay in the end...if it's not okay, it's not the end"

This helps me to believe that something amazing is on the way!

Breathe,

82 days and counting.

82 days.

82 days and counting. I have exactly 82 days left before I get to take my suitcase and run off with one of my closest friends on an amazing adventure to America.

I am so excited, I cannot wait to get on that plane and fly away, to the future, to excitment, to hope, to wonder (and wander), to fun, to learning, to experiences I will remember for the rest of my life.

It will be a whirlwind trip I am sure, blink and you will miss it. But I am going to make sure that I make the most of it. Live each and every moment or experience I am lucky to be presented with, to the absolute full. The flying, the new food, new places and people.

I am so thrilled. My whole year has been inspired by this holiday. I look forward to sharing the experience with my friend but also to making many more on the Contiki tour.

Where are you (or have you) already travelled to this year?
Kooklah, Xx
