You guys it's easier to remain in an area of comfort than to grow into everything you have been put on this earth for. It's not easy stepping up and speaking in front of crowds. It's not easy quitting a job you hate because it provides security. It's not easy going to the gym when it feels like everyone is looking at you. It's not easy signing up for a mentor or coach because you would rather keep some of that pain hidden. It's not easy telling your story because it brings up pain. It's not easy following your dreams when your parents or people think your dreams are ridiculous. It's not easy going after your dreams when you know you will have to give up something. It's not easy starting over when you are afraid. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is it's not easy stepping out of comfort into the unknown. As long as you remain in an area that's comfortable because "it's too hard" to do the thing that you know will propel you along and help you get to where you want to be, you won't get to where you want to be. YES, it's hard. YES, it can stir up pain. YES, it will be uncomfortable. YES, you can do it! How bad do you want it? The want and desire for change and growth has to be greater than the desire of staying the same. It's okay if people around you think you are nuts. It's okay if they share their ridiculous opinion (that literally does not matter). Its okay if you mess up a few times. It's okay if you fail. You will learn from those little mistakes, because the truth is, they DO NOT define who you are. Get out there and make a commitment for today and the new year, that you will go after the things in your heart no matter how uncomfortable you have to become in the beginning. There is something amazing on the other side of discomfort that is waiting for you to step into. You have gifts, talents, dreams and visions that were placed inside of you. What are you willing to do to bring them into this world and let your light shine? #truth #words #faith #life #handlettering #stepoutofcomfort #spiritfilled
This world will try to pull us in a million directions telling us to do this or do that. It tells us we are not enough based on what we look like. It tells us that we are too much based on all that we are able to do. It doesn't understand unique. It wants us to think that we were all supposed to think the same, act the same, and if we don't something is surely wrong with us. There has been a time or two when I thought something was wrong with me all because I was doing something differently or all because I was being WHO I was. That feeling leaves you feeling so little. So confused. So lost. We must come to a place where we start telling ourselves the truth about who we are. If we are not careful, we will continue to chase this illusion of ourselves that will never become reality. We will hurt ourselves tremendously trying to get there only to realize we are tired, worn out, and still unfulfilled! So you yourself and everyone around you a huge favor. Be who you are, not who the world wants you to be. This world needs YOU. The 100% true version of YOU <3 #truth #encouragement #youareenough #youmatter #beyou
"I know this isn't one of my most encouraging posts as usual, but I just have to be real with you. Some days I just don't have it in me. Some days I don't want to participate. Some days I want to isolate myself. Some days I say too much. Some days I don't show my family the love that Jesus displayed so well." I mentioned yesterday that real talk would be a blog post. Well, here it is ❤ (you can also find the blog link in bio) https://crystalkeefer.com/2019/12/11/real-talk-you-know-those-days-i-have-them-too/ #somedays #journey #truth #realtalk #faith
Do you remember the time lapse video I shared of me using a palette knife to create the simple back ground of a painting? (Take a look at IGTV) This one was with different colors and I added white wording and white florals. (I think I'm will go back in and add a few more flowers before it goes to the shop) Link to shop in bio #artist #create #color #painting #canvas
So many of us believe we are not courageous and that we can't be brave, but I am here to tell you the truth. Courage and bravery exists within you. You are powerful, but our identity has been attacked for so long that we have forgotten the truth of who we are. Mistakes, life's circumstances, people's opinions, jobs, things we have done in the past, it does not define us. You have courage to step up to do the things you feel in your heart. Those dreams that have tugged at you for so long, you are brave enough to go after them. There have been gifts placed inside of you and the world will never get to experience them, if we never allow that courage and bravery to come out where it belongs. #courage #youarebrave #youareenough #truth #wordshavepower
When the waves of life come crashing down, what do you do? I gotta tell you, it's so easy to be tempted to throw a fit and fall into a negative attitude, but what helps me is looking at my situation and realizing where I have been blessed. Switching my mindset to an attitude of gratitude. What am I grateful for? This week I have had quite a bit of pain (from accident - see stories) and each day it seems like something else is acting up on my body. Today was back pain. But you want to know something crazy?? I am actually grateful for this pain. It's annoying, but I am grateful because it reminds me that I am alive and recovering with minimal injuries. Life can throw us some curveballs for sure, but now I realize that all the fits I threw in my younger years got me nowhere other than in a moaning, grumbling, complaing attitude that did not produce anything good. So today, I have gotten to live this beautiful day. I chose to stop to look at the leaves on the trees thinking about how grateful and blessed we are. #gratitude #joy #beauty #life #faith
