MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY
Sometimes the thing that “wakes” us up is losing the very thing that was the most precious to us, when we find ourselves falling, with nothing left but ourselves, everything ripped from us in a cruel twist of fate.
When you lose something so very precious to you, you learn to value the gifts bestowed on you along the journey of your life. You learn not to waste a single moment in regret or what “might have been”. You learn to never let an opportunity go by when either you or someone else could be blessed abundantly. You learn to see happiness for what it truly is and how to be at peace with your own heart.
Suffering tempers even the hardest of souls. It can change the coldest people into those most capable of loving.
Those who have lost everything are those with the most compassion, the gentlest touch, the most beautiful of smiles, and the greatest strength. They are who they are because they had the courage to get up and pick up the pieces of themselves and their lives and continue living, start over, step out and risk again, and open their hearts to see the “magic” that lies in everything.
