“Now feeling in her heart an overwhelming desire to help people, Kate asked, “How can those who have given up on their dreams and stopped seeing the world through a child’s hopeful eyes get excited about life again? “They need to take their glasses off. The glasses that teach them how to see the world with a negative outlook, the glasses of gloom and doom, despair and unhappiness. When people are sick, they go to a doctor, and when they don’t have 20/20 vision, they go to an eye doctor and get a pair of glasses. Right? Well when people are attacked by negative circumstances and crushed dreams, their vision for life is disturbed. Without even thinking it, they start to believe that the way they have been seeing the world is wrong, and so they sub-consciously go looking for a right way to see the world. They pick up a pair of glasses, put them on, and leave them on for the rest of their lives; some people have been wearing the same pair of glasses for 50 years! These glasses come in the form of sub-conscious beliefs, such as “Life sucks, or, I can’t do anything right, or I’ll never be happy. I’ll never get married. I’ll never accomplish my dreams. I’ll never be able to do this, that, or the other!” On and on the list can go, but every single one of these glasses are distorted versions of reality because they leave the person who wears them feeling helpless, hopeless, or depressed. Kate, whenever someone sees the world other than through the eyes of, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me, Jesus Loves me, God is for me, Every dream, goal and desire that God put into my heart, he has the intention of bringing to pass, The enemy is defeated, I am blessed, Though I fall down 776 times, I will get back up 777 times”, they are seeing the world the wrong way, in a way that is harmful to their happiness, and eventually their health. These are the things that make sense to people when they are children. These are the thoughts that encourage people, give them hope, and cause them to get things done. People who think this way are 1000 times more productive then people who do not think in this way.”
